Jalapeņos story:
A couple of weeks ago, went to (another) Red Robin in Owings Mills, MD.
Joanne, Doug two friends of Doug and I. This time I had _Guinness on
Tap!_ - 25 oz. (x3 for me).
Doug and I ate an inordinate amount of (gratis) jalapeņos with the
burgers, with the fries, & with (more) beer.
Doug asked who's jalapeņos:
"Old El Paso Foods" (div of Pillsbury, Minneapolis).
"Could we by some?"
"Well, .. yes, we get it in only a _big_ can."
6 lbs, that is.
Doug and I got one each (for a truly low price).
Swimming in jalapeņos,
Andy
