Vesta, you old fishwife you, did you ever work for Booth? I forget. Got some frozen shrimp fried rice at Hannaford's. The shrimp was farm raised in Thiland. Who knows where the rice was raised. It actually tasted pretty good for frozen stuff. But not as good a what you get at Peking Express takeout.
BINGO--22 years under 2 other company names. Never Booth.
Actually do you remember why KFC in Portsmouth had to close down.?
From what I remember they were soaking chicken in bleach and water to remove the smell of spoiled meat. Then there were the 2 resturants in down town Portsmouth that got close to shut down for some of the most ragious conditions in their kitchens.
Hubby loves the Peking Express, true the helpings are very large, but I have know people that have at times worked there and I can make the same thing at home for 1/2 the cost and not worry about yesterdays left overs being in my dinner today.
Fish wife, no way, my family were poor folk, more like River Rats. We were so poor we had to eat the lobsters that were so plentiful they were at waters edge back then, clams and oysters that we dug from the mud.
I have some very old pictures of my family home with an acre full of poles and string drying fish to be salted for winter.
I am not so sure what a fish wife is, but I marvel at how my ancestors survived as River Rats.
All those Lampery eels we caught in traps, and if lucky the stripers that ran up the river, not to mention the Stergeon that once were plentiful.
Zeit, at least you did not call me a sewing machine.
