Why do you care how much time she spends on Usenet every day? Are you paying
her salary? Or do you just want to snipe at her because she made a statement
that got your hackles up?

He's got a bee in his bonnet. He acts like a bitchy little girl, but I'm
sure he's a man threatened by strong, successful women.
 
In any event, the post that prompted his latest complaint occurred at 6:18 am.
I'm pretty sure my boss doesn't care what I'm doing at 6:18 am. As long as
my work gets done, he pretty much doesn't care if I occasionally post to
Usenet during business hours. I'm a salaried engineer, not a guy punching
out parts in a factory.
 
Lately I've just been ignoring him.

A 250 pound Amazon like you can be threatening to many people, not just men.

I don't think you're wrong. I remember seeing Jell-O salads like that
back then. Maybe it even tasted good. :) Definitely a hold-over from
the 1960's.
 
The only time I buy cottage cheese is to use when I make lasagna. Same
thing with yogurt. I'll buy plain yogurt to cook with but I don't buy
it just to eat.

I've got some packets of Jell-O in the kitchen but need to check their flavors.
Tomorrow at the grocery store I might just have to pick up a small container
of cottage cheese, a can of crushed pineapple, and a small container of
Cool-Whip. Nuts to go in this concoction are already here in the freezer.

Go for it! :) I hope it's as fond a memory as you recall.

Never heard of that but I can't imagine it would be any good.
Damn...now *there I go* not thinking out of the box. lol
 
Some day I want to try one of those old boxed pizza kits that
many of us had in the 60's. From previous discussions, people
have said that they still sell them. What's the brand? I never
had a real pizza until I was over 18 and moved away.
 
Here's another oldie to try...Shake and Bake Chicken. LOL
"It's Shake and Bake, Daddy and I heyllpped (little girl with a
deep southern accent)
 
I also never had real seafood other than Mr's Pauls fish sticks
or Howard Johnsons tiny fried clam pieces and never a good steak
other than an overcooked thin one like dried shoe leather and
tons of A-1 poured on top.
 
After that childhood, it's no wonder that I love almost any meal
and not picky at all. heheh

One or two cheesecakes in a row but only 1-2 slices per day. Once
the first is gone, I'll buy another. After that, I'm over it or
at least know better not to buy a 3rd one. :)
 
Note: I didn't say how large those slices are.

I've never cared for Shake 'n Bake but did like the Oven Fry brand of these
type coatings.
Gary <g.majors@att.net>: May 30 11:24AM -0400

Cooking right now and almost finished -
 
Very large potato cubed
Medium-large onion cubed
Some cubed Spam
 
All fried until very browned, almost blackened.
(in oil and butter combined)
Will serve with some Gramma.R signature applesauce.
And a buttered piece of bread.
 
It's enough for two meals, easy.

I'm off to my weekly lunch out. Greek salad, fresh bread and olive oil
for dipping. Ice water to drink.

Is that a one-time fee for the premium version or is it a monthly/quarterly/
yearly fee?

lol For $5 I can buy over a dozen nifty paper pads for many
lists. I don't save trash to make lists on. ;)

I don't save it. I have a trash can next to the sofa. If I need to
make, say, a Home Depot list, I pull out an envelope. Free paper.
 
For groceries, I print out a listing of the usual stuff we buy in order
that it's in at the grocery store. When we use something up, it gets
checked off. There's blank space for occasional items.
 
It's an accommodation to having two cooks in the house.

The article deals with that by looking at its chemical characteristics. It
also points out, "No doubleblinded, placebo controlled clinical trial of
curcumin has been successful."
 
Surely you can read the article for yourself without me spoon feeding it
to you.
 
 
"Unfortunately, no form of curcumin, or its closely related analogues,
appears to possess the properties required for a good drug candidate
(chemical stability, high water solubility, potent and selective target
activity, high bioavailability, broad tissue distribution, stable
metabolism, and low toxicity). The in vitro interference properties of
curcumin do, however, offer many traps that can trick unprepared
researchers into misinterpreting the results of their investigations."
 
 
"Of course, we do not rule out the possibility that an extract of crude
turmeric might have beneficial effects on human health. The large RC
of NP extracts, and even of refined NP preparations, makes the
identification of the active constituent(s) and evaluation of their
efficacy in humans very difficult.51,162 Considering the overwhelming
evidence showing the weakness of isolated curcumin (almost always a
mixture of curcuminoids) as a viable therapeutic, consideration of
holistic approaches that take into account the chemical and PD/PK
complexity of turmeric and its broad TxM/nutritional foundation appears
to be superior directions for future research in the turmeric domain."

It's true though.... clothes hanging in a closet for years WILL
shrink. I have a few suits and sports coats that have definitely
shrunk. It's weird. ;)

I did that with saturated salt water when I was a kid. Cool to
put those crystals under a microscope. I also did it again when
my daughter was young, just to show her.

Cool experiment but not the same thing as rock sugar candy. LOL
