I am always sad when I see an elderly person with nothing but small, cheap, frozen meals or person with small children buying cheap cereal and fruit flavored drinks. Once at Winco, there was a mom with two teenage girls. She had three carts heaped full. I didn't see much in the way of junk food. No soda. A lot of bulk packs of chicken parts, fresh and frozen vegetables, dairy and eggs, lots of bread, some cleaning supplies and personal care items. The girls were fighting over the correct way to bag groceries so they were calling attention to themselves. I was next in line. The bill came to over $500. The cashier asked if this food was some for some event. The mom said no. Just for them. I asked her how many there were. She said just the three of them and that was their normal weekly shopping. I was shocked! When Angela I lived alone, our weekly shopping there amounted to maybe $80 a week. Granted, this was a few years ago. Neither of us were big meat eaters and we didn't buy much of our personal products there. I was still shocked. The mom and one daughter were thin. The other daughter was not thin but didn't look much overweight either. I just couldn't imagine them eating that much chicken! |

That would be a plan however the air fryer works great for chicken wings. I'll make some kalua pig in the pressure cooker. For the air fryer, I plan to wrap a stuffed Anaheim pepper in pie dough and air fry it. That should be tasty. |

Scarey as #%^ to us all here. Yes, that is hellish:(( The surgeon said he's got one of the cleanest hearts she's seen in a long time for a man of his age (still a bit shy of 70). More like a man 1/2 his age. Looks like we can relax on the statin cholestrol meds they have been trying to get him to take recently that do not make him feel well. D. was having pain problems late last year. Doc but him on bet blockers and statins. The beta blockers are working very well and the pains are gone. The statins? Not so well. He got horrific legs pains. A friend of mine has the same problem and her doc is stopping the statins. So maybe something to watch out for. Anyway, I am very pleased all is going well, I wish you all the luck in the world that it continues:) |

By Wed I will need more cottage cheese, milk, maybe Swiss cheese. Still need good fresh veggies, a little meat. Need more Just Mayo but can't find it and am unwilling to pay Amazon's high price. Also need small cans of tomato sauce. I keep forgetting to buy them. Might need more brown rice. I go through a lot of that. I have tons of beans. |

| Joy Beeson <jbeeson@invalid.net.invalid>: Jun 22 11:58PM -0400 Friday, 21 June 2019 I picked the last head of winter onions today. Since I have enough clumps of winter onion, I thought I'd have trouble using up the bulbils -- winter onion bulbils are so strong that it takes only a few to season a dish. But to my delight, I found that when the bulbils and sprouts are steamed in olive oil, they not only change from seasoning into vegetable, it's such a mild vegetable that I have to season them with corned beef or sausage. Place sliced, diced, or small vegetables in a skillet. Toss with oil. Season as desired. Cover tightly and cook on low heat five to fifteen minutes. Stir every five minutes. If potatoes are included, pre-heat them in the microwave. Winter onions make green onions in late winter, and probably prevented a lot of scurvy before the Ball Brothers made it possible to save tomatoes for winter use. They were still held in much esteem when I was a child. When winter onions are bred for sale, they are called Egyptian onions, topping onions, or walking onions. I have a clone of the old semi-feral winter onions that grew without cultivation, but fertilize and weed them and confine them to a row in the garden. Our house was built on fill, so I haven't been able to start a usable colony of wild-growing onions. -- Joy Beeson joy beeson at comcast dot net http://wlweather.net/PAGEJOY/ |
