We adopted Luee from the Humane Society in 1996. He was 2 years old, but still a pup. He has slowed down a bit; his age is catching up to him. He is the best dog anyone could ever have. Luee had to be put to sleep on April 15, 2009. Rest in Peace Pup.

WIVES AND CHIPS WHAT COULD BE BETTER


Hello Speakies:

One day closer to Friday the sun is shinning here and I hope all is fine with you. I read one day this weekend we celebrate “Wife Appreciation Day.” I know I’m grateful for Roe, she has been my strength for 32 years and I love her very much. We have had our times of fights and disagreements but I would not trade my life with her for anything in the world. Thanks Honey for all you do and forgive me for the times I did not acknowledge them. I Love You very much and please know to me “YOU ARE APPRECIATED AND LOVED.” P.S. You know I can be a pain in the A--.

And now for a favorite snack of mine “ POTATO CHIPS.” Potato chips to me are like peanuts to an elephant I just can not eat one. I like a lot of different chips but my favorite is a Target Brand called Buffalo Wing Chips, they are crunchy, BBQ flavored and a bit on the hot side and oh so good. When I was growing up there was Wise Potato Chips one of my favorites still today, a nice little greasy taste and they always had a few of those burned ones in the bag that I hunted for. Roe loves the chips that are folded, every time I find some they are hers.

There was a brand that was a real treat that came in a can called Charles Chips. I consider them the royalty of potato chips for they were delivered. I could not wait for the delivery man to come; it was like Santa arriving at Christmas. The empty can made a nice drum afterwards and drove my mother crazy. There are so many brands and flavors to choose from now-a-days everyone must have their favorites. I like plain, ripple, dip, BBQ, Buffalo Wing, Lightly Salted, Salt and Vinegar and Sour Cream and Chives just to name a few.

A friend I work with sent me a case of assorted Utz’s Potato Chips when I was sick years ago to cheer me up and what delicious tasting chips they were. One of the bags was Shrimp flavored unusual but good. I know Philly fans have their Herr’s Chips to make them happy. Here in Florida there was a brand that I had a few years ago but they are hard to find, called Bull’s Chips. They only came in 2 flavors plain and BBQ. Hard and crunchy with a bold taste each. Now my future daughter-in-law has the same desire for chips as I do and when she comes over I break out the old chips to munch on.

So Speakies I’m asking you to send me a list of your favorite chips or of a brand you prefer. Have a great day and remember just chip away today and be careful out there.

Real simple here! As of late, I have taken to the Wise Lightly Salted. After spending a few years looking at that UTZ sign in right field at Yankee Stadium I finally made the connection. It's a line of chips and pretzels. I mean just put up a sign that says NUR? What's it mean.

Anyway the UTZ are now pretty much the #1 because they taste like the old Wise and they don't go soft and stale as quickly as Wise.

My sandwich is liverwurst, onion and a trace of mustard but with a pile of chips on top.

Love liverwurst on Italian bread with spicy brown mustard. Sometime when I have a big lunch and not hungry for dinner I'll have either sharp cheese or American white cheese and chips while watching the boob tube.

My Mom would make dip with french onion soup and cream cheese that tasted better than the pre-made stuff.

Mack: French onion soup mix and sour cream is good too. On my dip style chips I pour picante sauce on top, nice and spicy with a little sharp white cheddar cheese slices.
