    Dear Food Experts
    I remember flour having the designation of [censored] on the
    label back in the '60's (think it was Pillsbury). When
    I went to look it up I found it meant super fine
    confection - sugar. Does anyone know what the [censored]
    really means?

    I'm certainly no expert and don't appreciate that. An
    "ex" is a has been, and a "spurt" is a drip under
    pressure. ;-)
    I always thought that [censored] stood for "extra, extra, extra".


    I've heard that [censored] is a movie rating...

    Ah! But what does it mean when it's painted on the side of a jug with a cork
    in it? 😄

    It translates loosely to, "Do not use combustible materials in the vicinity
    of this-here jug."

    Ha ha ha ha! Which begs the question : why do "flammable" and "imflammable"
    mean the same thing? I mean, does it flam, or not?

    Wahahahahaa! Or Tennessee : ) Been to the Jack Daniels distillery in
    Lynchburg, ( also George Dickel ) and that is one great tour. No free
    samples : ) In fact, it's a *dry* county! The whole little town in neat, and
    there's a *great* place for lunch. "Miss Mary Bobo's Boarding House". Miss
    Mary was the very first Playboy bunny - but, oh, man - can she ever dish up
    the country cookin'!

    Cheers : )

    Ever wonder about those people who spend $2.00 apiece on those little
    bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backwards...

    HeeHee! Reminds me of a cute joke :

    Billy Bob : Hey, Bubba Ray - I got a lizard in my greens!
    Bubba Ray - Well, don't tell the others, or they'll want one too!

    Courtesy of Andy Giffith : )

    My husband and I are about to go on a business trip to North Carolina, and
    we're stopping off a coupla days in "Mayberry" ( Mount Airy ). You can stay
    in the house where Andy grew up, it's a bed and breakfast, now : )

    And the food there is just gonna be *divine*! There are several places which
    are listed in Michael Stern's "Road Food". ( The Snappy Lunch, for one -
    famous for their Pork Chop Sandwich!

    Otherwise, [censored] is three kisses, right?

    XOXOXO,
