Thank you for the clarification. Okay, whoever did the shopping at the
Publix grocery store chose the worst of the worst. This is not a friend
who is likely to complain all the time.

He didn't mention anything like that. The groceries were dropped off at
the front door and that was thate. Because of the whole social
distancing thing he didn't have an opportunity to check the order or
send it back. They aren't accepting returns.

I'm glad it works for you! Nice to hear there isn't an across the board
thing. Publix is pretty much the high end grocery store around. I was
surprised to hear they brought him such bad food.

I've used a shopping service with Costco and the contents of the boxes
were so great I thought that maybe the shopper had access to the back
room and fresh delivery.
I've used the shopping service at Albertsons where they do the
shopping and bring it to your car. Again, absolutely perfect as
though I did my own shopping. There was even iceberg lettuce in the
order and you know how hard it is to get a head of lettuce with no
bruised spots.
I haven't used Instacart, but I would think the service you get
depends on the store or the shopper service.
Restaurants recently have been asking customers to place their orders
directly with the restaurant and they will deliver.
Maybe it is best to order directly from the store and use their
delivery service if available. Most all of them have an Internet
presence now as well as ordering and delivery capabilities.

Does he have a smart phone? They communicate
by text. When you place the order they advise you
to be available an hour before your scheduled
delivery time. You can also add items up until they
are done shopping
 
That's a shame that he got bad stuff. I can't imagine why someone would intentionally select
a rotten item. My stuff has been great except
there was one time when they were out of carrots
and she asked if organic were ok, well they weren't.

Janet, way back in March I attempted to order
directly from the store and it was near impossible
to get a delivery time. It's probably different now
but back then as far as Safeway, you had to be on their site at midnight to punch in to get a time. I
gave up
 
So far I'm happy with Instacart , I just
wish they delivered from Trader Joe's.
 
Oh, and I do order from Walmart but ours
doesn't have a full blown grocery. You need
a $35 min for free delivery but that's easy
to meet.

I order the day before from Albertsons and choose a dead early time -
7 a.m. Plenty of parking in the assigned spots then. I'm sure all
stores are different and that they are learning from each other. This
is all new stuff to all of us. I'm thinking ahead to winter time when
the roads are crappy. It will be nice to order then.
I did find though, that I needed a practice day to figure out Costco,
Albertsons and Walmart ordering programs.

Nope! Not my Facebook profile pic or anything. As I said all the pics associated with this new faux "John Kuthe" Facebook acct are available on the Public Domain of The Internet! I NEVER had a pic of a goat as my Facebook profile pic! The current "John Kuthe" Facebook acct DOES! I looked at it!

Nope. I don't know what Julie calls hamburger gravy. The only time I
serve mashed potatoes with ground beef "gravy", it doesn't involve a
roux. It's a Scottish dish. Browned ground/minced beef, seasoned with
S&P. Drain off most of the fat, add some water and a few glugs of
Worcestershire sauce. Simmer, cook down and spoon over hot mashed potatoes.
 
Sausage gravy involves a roux and milk or cream starting with some of
the drippings. And of course, the crumbled sausage. Generally spooned
over biscuits. That reminds me, I have some frozen (raw) MaryB
Biscuits. I also have a chub of Jimmy Dean pork breakfast sausage. I
have milk. Hmmm, sounds like a biscuit & sausage gravy meal coming up
very soon!
 
Having said that, I have not run across "hamburger gravy" as a common
thing except in Julie's posts. I don't have any idea how she makes it.
Described simply as "hamburger gravy" doesn't sound very appetizing.

Your "little infraction" was ASSuming there was an adult parent in the
house without checking before leaving a bedridden child alone at the end
of your shift. Would it have been so difficult to knock on the bedroom
door and, not getting a response, open it? It is hardly a "little
infraction". But hey, go have another Cuppa Plus and forget about it.

FYI, I own a Ryobi *cordless* rechargeable leaf blower! Damn, why
didn't I think to crow about every time I use it? I'm missing out on a
huge opportunity to garner attention.

Jill, as far as nursing goes, kuth is done. Well done. Completely done.
 
Especially pediatrics. That area of nursing takes a different type
of person than a rainbow cannabis nurse, even if they are climate
anarchists, running for mayor, live in da Loo, and have an UZI.
 
Even all the electric cars, lawn mowers, and weed whackers won't
help him.
 
Heavy doses of Thorazine or Mellaril might. I do feel sorry for
him, but until he is forced into treatment, he won't change.
Unfortunately, it takes an extreme event for this to happen.
Perhaps mass murder, extortion, etc.
 
On the other hand, he just might end up being our next president.
He does have a lot in common with current president Drumpf.
 
I do believe its time for me to grab my 50 ml syringe and draw up
my daily dose of Lysol. Bye.

Indeed! All the bakers should say hello.
 
Judith doesn't know me but other RFC regulars know I really suck at
making pastry. I don't bake my own bread. Oh, I have in the past and
was pretty darn good at it. Thing is, I don't eat enough bread to be
bothered making. Pastry wasn't something I was ever good at.
 
I've never tried salmon en croute. I love Beef Wellington! Haven't had
that in years and yes, it was at a restaurant. I'd have to buy frozen
puff pastry to make it at home. Did I mention I'm really bad at making
pastry? LOL

There he goes again making sweeping statements about all Americans. As
if he isn't one.
 
I've been self-quarantining for two months at least. Not a problem for
me since I really don't feel the need to congregate or socialize with a
bunch of people. I'm perfectly happy with books and my cat and waving
at neighbors when I go to the mailbox. Bird watching and just had a
bunch of does (deer) come wandering up as I sit here at my desk.
 
I limit contact with people and maintain a 6 foot distance when I'm
shopping. Last time I went I wore a scarf tied like a bandana.

I think he likes to stir stuff up. Ophelia hangs on his every word as
if it's the gospel about what goes on in the United States. I don't get
it. In another thread that drifted to generators and power outages he
told Cindy she'd be better off (during an extended electric outage) to
run her central air conditioning using the battery from her electric
car. Um, she doesn't have an electric car. Even if she did, it's a
stupid idea.
 
He's as bad as Kuthe if he thinks anyone could (or should) power central
air using a car battery for any length of time. The battery would run
down in hours and hey, if the power is out, how could she recharge the
car battery. Answer is, she couldn't. That's why she bought a gas
generator in the first place.
 
He talks a lot but he doesn't say much. I'm not planning to live on
kelp or 3-D printed faux food in my lifetime, either. Heh.

I've looked at some of his food pictures. They look fine but the
majority seem to be take-out meals.

Of course you would. Too bad most of the food pics and food related
things he talks about seems to be restaurant take-out. And gross
exaggerations about what actually is going on in the US. Despite what
you seem to think, he doesn't have his finger on the pulse of the entire
country. He's got you convinced everyone hated President Obama.
President Obama was elected twice.
 
But please, feel free to continue your adoration for dsi1 and his
pronouncements about everything USian.
