I wish they'd figure out how to can Nathan's hot dogs.<br /><br />Since I've started buying things like Spam, I've also become aware of the price and thought it seemed pretty high. But is this a new phenomenon or has it always been high and we just didn't notice since we weren't buying it? I was also shocked, SHOCKED I say, when I discovered how much a jar of Armour (I think) dried beef cost. You know, the stuff you use in classic "sh*t on a shingle". I loved that gravy as a kid and it's hard to believe my Mom paid those premium prices for a jar of convenience meat.<br /><br />Hmmm....<br /><br />-SteveSteve and Luluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17762481109499699377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7709569340180732071.post-5746179676971155592012-01-25T07:58:27.475-05:002012-01-25T07:58:27.475-05:00It does not seem to need much in the way of regula...It does not seem to need much in the way of regulation so all I do is heat up the base for a minute then after I've added the "bundt" pan ad put on the top the flame just gets turned down to low/simmer.<br /><br />I've yet to burn anything!RLWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03722124194083306429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7709569340180732071.post-71022105005218136892012-01-24T13:56:23.006-05:002012-01-24T13:56:23.006-05:00How do you regulate temperature?How do you regulate temperature?Denahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15889693444018565607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7709569340180732071.post-54472685179726212912011-03-18T18:22:12.066-04:002011-03-18T18:22:12.066-04:00Hey RLW, so glad you found them helpful!

At that point, the local supplier should raise his prices to match the import. If the market doesn't like the newly higher prices, demand will fall, and so will prices, at which point the importer may or may not exit the market. <br /><br />The price will eventually settle at a new equilibrium. Sounds to me like the Caribbean folk just really like their cherries!Jack of all Tradeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11893893262190693102noreply@blogger.com
