You didn't wonder about the Citrus Red Pepper Crème Fresh? I had to
look up Rice Perloo. It's nice that they're trying to serve local
dishes, but Perloo sounded more like a main dish than a side dish when
I looked it up.

I can't see through it, so it's just a guess. Peering down is just a
guess.

Over here most people refer to that kind of container as a pitcher. A jug
would have a narrow neck. It would be more unusual to refer to an open top
vessel as a jug. No doubt this varies some but those images show pitchers
from the US point of view.
 
HTH... seriously... you've spanked this one raw.

I was thinking as I read that she wouldn't be breaking any hearts.
Anyway, I don't use the same measuring cups for liquid and dry but I
probably could. The only exception being rice because you want 2:1 ratio
liquid:rice and it doesn't matter if you use a real measuring cup or a
coffee cup.

They don't have any as such, the nearest thing they have is probably
what they call Skiffle.

I'm a single person who uses the dishwasher. It isn't always full when I
run it, or I'll wait until it's full and it takes longer than most
families in between. For that reason I always rinse dishes before they
go in the dishwasher.
 
That said, last year, even on vacation I hand washed dishes at my
vacation condo. Mostly I just didn't use as many dishes as I do at home.
Can't wait, my vaca is coming up again in a few weeks! :) Myrtle Beach
here I come!

From everything I've gathered over the years she doesn't live in a
great neighborhood. If she has an exterior door leading in/out of her
bedroom sure, I'd keep it locked. I didn't grasp that out of what she
posted but Sheila pointed out it is likely an exterior door.
 
I did have sliding doors at my last apartment that led off the bedroom
onto the fenced patio. I had a pin-type lock in the sliding doors:

The actual lock on the door didn't have/require a key.

My neighbor has an exterior door from her bedroom that leads out to her
back patio. I can see not wanting to leave it unlocked. But there's
also a door to that patio from the living room, the next room, so the
door in her bedroom is superfluous.

One that requires a key both inside and out. DUR.

I've got powdered graphite but since I don't suffer from a lot of angst
(there's that word again!) about my door locks I rarely think about
using it.

Last week I had a few items and went to the 12 or fewer express lane.
Seconds before me an employee ending her shift pulled in ahead of me.
I don't know the total, but she handed the cashier a can of cat food and
said "48 of these" among about 20 other items.
 
Frustrating mildly, but then she started searching for coupons. I put
my stuff back in the cart and went to the self checkout and finished
before they did. I made it a point to stop and let them know it was not
good for employees to abuse the lines. No manager was around.

I shop with my daughter and we check before we get in line, but if we
miss something one goes back while the other continues to the checkout
line.

At BJ's you can renew right at the register. Meat prices is one big
reason we go there.

Really has nothing to do with Walmart and everything to do with the people
involved.

Dave is saying accurate measurements aren't necessary unless you're
baking in volume. IMO, it doesn't matter. I'm used to volume
measurements and will continue doing it, in spite of having a scale in
full sight on the kitchen counter directly above the drawer where my
ss measures live. I've talked to habitual weighers right here in rfc
who obviously do not care about exact measurements either or else they
wouldn't drop one thing on top of another into the same bowl.

I didn't say they aren't relevant. I'm 99% sure most people who find
themselves needing new measuring cups just buy them. No drama involved.

Heya shite likers~!
 
It's time for a new episode of "TAINT BAD" by the Cr00kin' Network,
exclusively nowhere!
 
On today's episode, Sollog gives us a new recipe that will be also
unveiled on his new cooking-inspired website, www.cookitius.org
 
Heya Sollog
 
Sollog - "Hey Bork, I've got a great assumption today called the Russian
Attack Sandwich. It's a sandwich, but it's also an assumption that
Russia will attack someone someday at some unspecified time."
 
Bork - "That's definite."
 
Sollog - "Yump, here's the news:"
 
Russian Attack Sandwich:
- 1 pint of borscht
- 32 hamburger patties, stolen from McDonald's
- 1 episode of Ninja Turtles on VHS (probably from the Burger King Kid's
Club giveaways during the 90s)
- A whole lotta gunpowder
 
Sollog - "Here's the direc. First, eat a shitload of borscht, then
throw the stolen hamburger patties at your neighbor's house (especially
if you live in Winter Park, Florida like I do). Then, put on the Ninja
Turtles VHS tape to a cathode ray TV, and sniff the gunpowder. You're
gonna be the one attacking Russia!"
 
Well there you have it folks, a nut job giving you another excellent
piece of sometime.
 
Janking Yer Butt,
SHALLOOLEYO Rasputin (Gavin)

I'd like to try that, but my wheat allergy says 'no'.
 
I've decided to also make roast pumpkin soup today since it's overcast
and wet outside. I'll just potter around the house and do domestic
type stuff.

Sounds great. Hope the pizzas are good, I need to go for a loooong
drive for a decent pizza...
