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. -- sf |

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. MartyB |

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. -- ღ.¸¸.✫*¨`*✶ Cheryl |

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! -- ღ.¸¸.✫*¨`*✶ Cheryl |

It's not like she had some crazy whacked out druggie > in-law's living there and they are known thieves. 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: http://tinyurl.com/jj7nqwl The actual lock on the door didn't have/require a key. Jill |

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. Jill |

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. Jill |

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. |

| sf <sf@geemail.com>: Jul 07 04:31PM -0700 > ingredient that *is* consistent when using measuring cups is granulated > sugar. > Graham 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. -- sf |

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. Jill |
| Bread Basket <breadly@hey.com>: Jul 08 02:16AM +0200 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.
