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. Jill |

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. Jill |

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. Jill |

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!! ;) nb |

How do you mince the stuff! 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. -- I love a good meal! That's why I don't cook. |

| 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. N. |

| U.S. Janet B. <JB@nospam.com>: Mar 05 03:53PM -0700 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. Janet US |
