I usually try to follow you daily but missed your answer. We seem to have the same problem of trying to find a large salad bar for a fresh, light mid day meal. What was your answer, if any? I am sorry to make you repeat yourself on this. Thank you.......and you have a nice website here. We like the fact that there is no swearing or anything out of the norm here. Some people get testy but nothing bad....keep it up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559692.post-12094385749204168182014-05-19T11:30:16.095-04:002014-05-19T11:30:16.095-04:00My dad made my clam rakes (he was a welder by trad...My dad made my clam rakes (he was a welder by trade), but the Variety Store has clam rakes for sale.Philiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01572532603071469799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559692.post-18146884069609086772014-05-19T10:44:04.363-04:002014-05-19T10:44:04.363-04:00Always interesting, Philip.
