    Best potato chips - Zapp's

    You eat a small bag of Zapp's, and you feel like you just ate a double bacon cheeseburger, but damn, it's worth it... those chips are too good. They're kettle cooked in peanut oil, and they're seasoned with a lot of different Louisiana seasonings. I'm not sure where they're not available, but they're in every store or deli I've been in from Memphis to NOLA, and I hear they're in Texas too.

    Any way to get that in the southeast? I'm on a program where I'm eating oatmeal every morning... getting pretty tired of Quaker Oats.

    It's a successful socialist institution. Vancouver has much better museums, too, than American cities.

    It's actually called Snoqualmie Falls Lodge oatmeal. I don't know about their distribution.

    The bag shows an e-addy of www.continentalmills.com. You might be able to get them to tell you where to buy it locally, or have them sell you a case and ship it to you.

    I think so. The collars are too high and stiff for my taste. Not to mention that the point of a T&A shirt is to have bright stripes; I'm a solid white/blue kind of guy.

    gotcha...I've never tried either, but T&A's seem to get all the pub--much like "Bose" allows you to charge a 150% premium for a branded product, I wasn't sure if the juice was worth the squeeze.

    I'm getting some shirts made when I get back, because I have a pretty tapered upper body and a long neck. So instead of buying a shirt and tailoring it, I'm just having the tailor start from scratch and have the high collars built in.

    Plus, I'm still young and unimportant enough that I think I can get away with some gingham and windowpane from time to time.
