You're not wrong. I usually manage microwaved oatmeal.

Okay, not that I'd be looking for or buying bean sprouts, but I read the
information on the link. Here's the thing I don't understand. To
reduce your risk the site recommends:
 
"Cook sprouts thoroughly to reduce the risk of illness. Cooking kills
the harmful bacteria."
 
"Request that raw sprouts not be added to your food. If you purchase a
sandwich or salad at a restaurant or delicatessen, check to make sure
that raw sprouts have not been added."
 
Don't ask me why, but I was always under the impression people who
bought and used fresh bean sprouts were using them raw, added to a salad
or as a veggie topping on some sort of sandwich. Go figure. ;)

Radish sprouts, alfalfa sprouts, and broccoli sprouts are (or were)
common on sandwiches.
 
Not all sprouts are bean sprouts.

Happy birthday. I'm a Feb birthday too. The real curse of an early
Feb. birthday is when you're a kid all your aunts say 'this is your
Christmas and birthday present.'

We have a granddaughter Jan 1. We've been careful to avoid that.
She gets both a Christmas and birthday gift. Depending on
circumstances, it may have been the same day but we tried to avoid that
too.

Nice. We hit close to 50 this morning, but the temp has now dropped to
the low 30s. High winds with wicked gusts. We took advantage of the
warmth to open the windows for a couple of hours.

My husband's birthday is one week before Christmas, and he's the last
of five boys. He's used to not being the center of attention on his
birthday (and college finals used to land on his birthday pretty
frequently).

Your PC religion doesn't allow you to see the facts.

Preach it, brother. On the side, never fried.

They're ordinary dill pickles, preserved in vinegar. I go in streaks
where I eat pickles on hamburgers, then I stop for a long while.

My company doesn't have a receptionist anymore, and neither did my
husband's (before he retired). You can get a directory of employee
extensions, but if you've called in and just want "support" or "sales"
I think you're screwed.
 
It's better to try to reach us by e-mail (where you can reach "support"
or "sales"). That works well for most of our customer base, who are all
engineers.

yeah that is what I am thinking also. I feel as though I brought a
little life to a newsgroup that almost seems mechanical from the
complaints I have gotten... They all want to go food food food and I
bring a little humor and silly antics in and almost everyone wants to
add their overly glutenized piss in my gluten free rice krispies and
call me a troll and pick on me and laugh at me, and make me feel
unloved and unwelcome...... I mean cmon why would you want to add your
gluten rich piss to my freakin gluten free food. That is just an
atrocity that I do not even want to consider...

I'd have to deal with bone and fat with certain cuts of beef steaks or
pork chops, too. I just posted a pic of the raw shoulder chops but here
it is again:

If you read the label the suggested cooking method is *grilling*.
 
It does look like it's going to rain this afternoon. Fortunately,
cooking outdoors is not a requirement. :)

Good morning, Jill. Wasn't teasing at all. 4 brussel sprouts cut
in half then roasted would be plenty for me. As far as those
chops? Plenty of meat on each one for me again. I would pan fry
them just like a steak. Nice marbling on those. For a full meal,
I would only maybe add a baked potato and a buttered roll.
 
Most meals these days for me don't even include meat but when I
do have it, about 1/3 pound is plenty.

Those must be some really large brussels sprouts! I buy the small ones.

I don't have any baking potatoes (or rolls). I've got some new potatoes
which I'll be par boiling, then place on a baking sheet, smash and
drizzled with oil, sprinkled with S&P and some dried dill then roasted
in the oven.
 
It just started raining so (as I suspected) cooking outdoors is out of
the question. Not that it's essential in any case. :) I'll likely use
my cast iron skillet on the stove top. And yes, there's plenty of meat
on those lamb chops. Not too much fat, really. I'd expect the same
amount of marbling in a good steak. :)

I get that, Janet! I wasn't criticizing how you would cook them nor did
I think you were telling me what to do.

tastes like....

because of the pickles.....
