You're relying on how someone else tastes it - personally I loathe
sweet potatoes and love parsnips :)

I thought the same thing about them. Parsnips and carrots are cousins.

There are white carrots. I served white carrots last week at
Thanksgiving dinner, along with yellow, orange and purple ones.
They didn't taste at all like parsnips...

Okay, I'm not crazy about carrots. I do like sweet potatoes. What to
do, what to do? ;)

Pumpkins and carrots are the only veggies that have much alpha carotene.

You don't have to. He's making a mockery of himself without any help. ;)

that's it exactly. We all agree generally what certain things taste
like. Beyond that our personal set of taste buds and experience take
over. At least, that is my theory.

Well, one parsnip isn't going to break you or kill you so go for it
once. You know, a bucket experience :-}

In this country, hamburger is the same thing as ground beef. Sometimes
referred to as hamburger meat. "A" hamburger is a ground beef/hamburger
patty usually served in a bun but these days just as likely as a lettuce
wrap. If someone tells you to bring home some hamburger, they want you to
bring home ground beef. If they tell you to bring home a hamburger or some
hamburgers, then they want a/some sandwich/sandwiches.

by starch she means either potato, pasta or rice, plus seasonings.
Most of the ingredients are dehydrated, therefore you cook the meat in
the pan, add the boxed ingredients and then add the prescribed milk or
water, cook covered for the length of time indicated. Food Snobs
adore them because they are so easy to take a shot at.

Why would they want to take a shot at it?? To each their own yannow:))
 
So you are saying that HH contains things like pasta etc?
 
That sounds like a better addition.

Yes. It's a way to stretch minced beef, like a casserole except done on
the stovetop.

The Hamburger Helper boxes most often contain dry pasta, dried sliced
potatoes, an envelope of sauce mix, various seasonings... Basically
everything you nee except for the hamburger itself. Other meats
include chicken, tuna, etc.

Perhaps they have and you just never noticed? It's not the sort of
thing I imagine you'd be looking for.

We had a leftovers night. For me, the last turkey sandwich from the 2017
Thanksgiving turkey. White bread, butter, romaine lettuce, sliced turkey
breast. Sweet gherkins on the side. I really should have had more
vegetation, but life is imperfect. He had a steak sandwich from leftover
NY strip and a salad. There was a sale on NY strip, $7.99/pound. I
picked up four and froze two.
 
Before dinner we finished vac-bagging the turkey leftovers.

Seems rather heavy handed on the carbs (the crescent rolls in the
casserole and pasta on the side) but as long as you enjoyed it...
 
I don't find that cukes look anything like zucchini other than they're
both green and cylindrical. <shrug>

I portioned the remaining cornbread dressing in a couple of small
Rubbermaid containers (individual servings) for the freezer.
 
Dinner last night was a couple of pieces of fried chicken from the
supermarket. It's something I rarely buy but they get that coating so
nice and crispy! Last night I heated a drumstick & a thigh in the oven
(it stayed crispy) and steamed some Fordhook lima's to go with it.

Just about any recipe for baking anything will use baking powder.
Baking soda is used where there is an acid like buttermilk.

In the dim recesses of my memory I seem to recall my father liked brains
and eggs. A scramble of sorts. I'll stick with brie, thanks. ;)
