My husband likes cheese on his sloppy joes. I never saw the point.
 
I prefer my coleslaw on the side, so I'd pass on today's Dataw lunch
special.

Not to say you cannot use wither wet or dry for either.

Gee, getting a nice haul on local vegetables or people posting about
what they cooked for dinner couldn't possibly be relevant on a cooking
newsgroup.

I have tried SO hard to hold my tongue on this one but it just gets dumber
and dumber and I am not singling out any one person here. It's like a giant
groupwide brain fart.
 
A cup by volume is a cup regardless of what you put in it, ffs. Is that so
hard to understand?
 
It's not liquid vs dry. It's volume vs weight. I'd like to see anyone weigh
ingredients with a damned cup. Sheesh!

Did you know that the store has to throw out your old bottle of Thyme if you
return it, even if it's unopened? They lose the merchandise and the money,
and that's a double loss for them, just because you bought something you
don't need. Yes, grocers by policy will accept almost any return, but it's
very unfair to take advantage of that and cost them money when there was
nothing at all wrong with your purchase.

Why would they have to throw it out if it's unopened?

That's what I've been told at several different stores over time. Would you
want to buy something to eat that someone else took home and brought back?
You're sure it wasn't tampered with or mishandled? It's a matter of an
abundance of caution. Besides she has two of these as "backups" so who knows
how old they are. Would you want someone else's old stuff in your shopping
cart? I don't. Anyway stores don't put returned food items back on the shelf
AFAIK.

Not for me.

Liquid, dry, the volume measurement is the same. If you want to *weigh*
ingredients on a scale in a cup you have to weigh the cup first. ;)
 
Let's get more convoluted and pretend you cannot use the same measures
for liquid and dry. If you don't own a food scale it seems the only
solution is to get the hell out of the kitchen and go out to eat.

Fair enough. I don't know about unopened herbs & spices. I tend not to
buy them at the grocery store because I already don't know how long
they've been sitting there even if someone hadn't returned them. I'm a
Penzey's fan (sometimes The Spice House). I freeze herbs and just
refill an empty bottle rather than let them sit around getting stale.

And if the ratios are right, it can also be used to make a quick pastry,
I suppose.

Way too much butter, I would think.

I haven't ever used it for that but you may be right.

When I whiz it up, I start with equal amounts and then when I see how it is
going I will add extra of one of the other to ensure the 'breadcrumb'
texure.

I think I'll give that a try myself. I don't often need to combine
butter and flour but that will certainly be a handy short cut. :)

Wonra is excellent if you need to thicken that gravy, on the fly.
OTOH, so is reg flour mixed in cold water to make slurry. Costs less,
too. ;)

At some point she explained she doesn't want to buy Gold Medal products
due to a recent flour recall. Okay... so buy a different brand of flour
and make a slurry. Except she doesn't want to make a slurry.

Maybe he's playing with Winnie and not online.
 
He told the story, he ran over the dog when it was under
his car, he clearly didn't see it. Then he rolled the
car off the dog as it was jammed under the car.
 
As much as the dog was annoying, he didn't run it over
on purpose.
 
I had a neighbor with a barking dog, a black lab. The woman
called her previous dog, a collie, across the street and it got
hit by a car. That's the level of stupidity, but I digress.
She felt like she had to get another dog, they got the lab and
chained it up outside and no one ever played with it, just yelled
at it. Of course the thing was a nervous wreck and barked at
every little thing. Every day if we stepped outside, BARK BARK!
on and on.
 
It's friggin annoying. I get JeBus' irritation.
 
But I don't see anything in his story that says he deliberately
ran over that dog.

I don't think winnie had come home when he wrote that and he has written
plenty since.

I believe she's referring to an exterior door from her bedroom, not an
interior one.
