If you're a Triscuit Rosemary & Olive Oil cracker fan, try the Safeway version

I love the Triscuit version. name deleted brought home a box of the Safeway house brand version.

Wow. I like these better than the original. The taste is dramatically different. They're less salty. The taste is more mellow and pleasant. And they cost a lot less, too.

2. Big lots 

They usually have name brand crackers for less than $2. I got the Parmesan and garlic triangles last week - they are really good. I bought a Keurig coffee brewer there yesterday for almost less than I spent on the coffee pods to o in them!

Grasswire, stop snacking and get busy on all that paperwork for The State for that pie shop.  You have much to do.  Those musicians and artists are counting on you.

I don't think the pie-and-jam shoppe's going to come to fruition.

Not because it couldn't, but because the grasswire primitive always struck me as the silly older woman type, somewhat giddy, and those sorts talk, but of course they can't do.

There might be another primitive or two who could make a go of it, but it's not in the grasswire primitive.

Someone in the cooking and baking forum was inquiring about the hippywife primitive, who hasn't been there for a while; no responses to that campfire yet, but one assumes Mrs. Alfred Packer and Wild Bill are spending the holiday (in real life) camping in the Ozarks, or (in fiction) roaming all over the roof of Nebraska.

My cousin was despondent when Nabisco stop producing Royal Lunch Milk Crackers.

The Nabisco Royal Lunch Milk Crackers Dilemma These were the best crackers around and unfortunately have been discontinued after a 90 plus year run. One of the first crackers they made. Oh well my area depleated there supply around 5 years ago now..... there was an alternative Mrs. Allisons Milk Lunch Crackers... also good but not quite up to the nabiscoes Milk Linch cracker standard but very close.... was getting that in my area until late this past year .....i searched all my local haunts that carried them and turned up nothing... finally i broke down wrote to the company alas it was taken over by another and this tooo was dropped from there productions list.

Is there no sacred traditions and favorites able to be left alone and kept on the shelves for those that bought them. Every time the store got them they were sold out within days.

The companies both said maybe one day when enough people want them again they might think about making them once more but not until then.

If you would like to write drop a line and i will submit addresses for you to write to.

I use to buy and ship them to her several times a year when she lived in the liberal he77hole of KaliForincation.

They didn't have civilized crackers out there I guess as I would get a mopey melancholic call requesting I send her some 'real crackers'.

Much the way I feel about the late lamented Kraft pimiento cheese slices.

But the bigger question is what's up with DUmmy grasswire! One minute she's talking about her goofy pie shop idea, sellng pies and providing a safe house for local weed merchants to meet with potheads while strumming their guitars. And then she's helping deadbeats find a place to stay as they visit Wisconsin to defile the fine marble columns in the statehouse (although she ignored DUmbass Omaha Steve when he asked for a free flop, driving him to tears). Then she drops a few ominous comments about being evicted from her charity digs in a former friend's bonus room up there in the Badger State. Now suddenly she's posted two or three times in the persona of a resident of the hippie dippy state of Oregon! What's up with that? A transcontinental move without even the courtesy of a mention? Six incommunicado days on a Greyhound? It's appalling.

I don't think I've ever had, or even heard of, Royal Milk Lunch Crackers.  

I do buy most of my crackers at Big Lots, though. Just have to make sure to check the dates, because sometimes they are close to expiration. Also a good place to buy Oreos.
