I rather dislike the statement by David Lummus: "Markets caught on they
could make a whole lot more money sanctioning the behavior that 15 years
ago would have been attributed to the crazy cat person". I'm sure lots
of people have always made food for their pets.
 
"Lummis points to 9/11 as a watershed moment." What the heck does 9/11
have to do with it?! He says, "People began feeling like pets "are our
children; for a lot of people, they just are."
 
I don't know about other pet owners but I've always felt like my pets
are a member of the family. They need as much care as children.
Perhaps moreso because most children eventually learn to talk and can
start telling you what you're doing wrong. LOL With pets, we can only
guess.
 
If you want to cook for your dog or cat, go for it. Ditto if you want
to order expensive delivered "fresh" meals for your pet.
 
The article references those human boxed dinner kits from 'Hello Fresh'
or 'Blue Apron. I'm guessing those are the people who will be buying
this type of fresh petfood delivery kits.
 
I saw mention of the Instant Pot but only in reference to buying this
and *using* the Instant Pot to cook their delivered pet food kit. Not
for me, thanks.

Not mean. Unnecessary.
 
Besides, the article was about fresh pet food delivery box kits (like
'Blue Apron' and 'Hello Fresh for *humans*). I wouldn't subscribe to
one of those, either.

It's not even about digestive issues or special needs. It's a jump on
the bandwagon of those home delivery meal kits 'Hello Fresh' and 'Blue
Apron' for people. They're trying to make money using the same concept
for pet food delivery. Not something I'm interested in paying what you
know will be a premium for. Then have to cook it? My cat is perfectly
healthy and happy with commercial pet foods.

Garlic is one of those things that jes cooks weird. Saute the things
fer one (1) nano second beyond "done" and they're tasteless. Yet cook
an entire bulb fer a half hour and they go with anything!! ;)

Garlic's one of the most rewarding things to grouw yourself, imo.

Yeah, that should calm it down.

Don't. Just buy it by the jar. Store brand for cheapest. I use it a LOT
and a big jar (16 oz or so) lasts a long long time. Much easier than
mincing it yourself.

Shel, did you know you can buy peeled garlic bulbs in the refrigerated produce section, and freeze
the ones you can't use right away?

I checked out the bags of garlic bulbs at Costco today to see if it
was last year's crop. I always try to get the new crop from
California. The bags at my Costco were from 2019 but were from
Argentina.

Not much good comes from China, except the world's best cuisines.

My secret for chili is coffee.
Nancy2 <ellorysgirl@gmail.com>: Mar 05 02:56PM -0800

I made a big pot last week; needed to work on making room in my freezer for individual portions,
so after I divided it up into 15 portions, I put it out on the deck to freeze (temps were in the teens,
mostly) until I had room in the freezer. I use the deck for freezing stuff all winter when it is cold
enough.
 
I wanted to have some the next day for supper, and the deck door (slider) was frozen shut. I was
unable to get it from the outside because of the snow cover and my canes. So this past Friday, my
neighbor walked around, grabbed the insulated bag the portions were in, and brought it to my front
door. The next day, the door was all thawed out. All I had to do was wait a day. Too funny.

Interesting... can you be a bit more verbose with your coffee and
chili?

reach into your pocket for more tax dollars. That testing and
checking doesn't come free. And, elect officials who think food
safety is more important than tax breaks for the ultra rich.

Regardless of day to day weather, Dave, I still think if I could find that damn groundhog,
I wouldn't feel a bit guilty for killing the beast. He was certainly wrong this year.

I checked today and the price of scallops at Costco is 2 pounds for
$24. That's a pretty decent price I thought. I'll get them more
often. While I was looking at the frozen scallops I noticed that
Costco has increased the number of items carried in that area.
Something to look forward to.

Anybody could become homeless but my guess is that most people become homeless because of mental illness and/or drug addiction.
