>Sounds like the ultimate plans for 2 rotisserie chickens, Janet
 
We buy rotisserie chicken once or twice a year typically when running
short on time to cookd, usually from Walmart, theirs are oven stufer
roasters, about 6-7 pounders, $5.99 per. Other markets sell them but
theirs are much smaller and too salty. The thing I don't like about
them is why they are so cheap is because that's how the markets
dispose of expired birds. Somehow the USDA permits that with cooked
meats.
I still prefer oven stuffer roasters that I buy prier to expiration
and that I season myself, those rotisseried at market are always too
salty... plus they are not properly cleaned; blood clots and guts
hanging inside. We eat very little whole chicken...we much prefer
skinless boneless bosoms that I make into cutlets, and not all that
often. Mostly we eat pork chops and beef that I grind myself. We
occasionally eat pork/beef roasts.

You've probably heard about the 1,000 year-old mill already, but this (different) story is fun too.
 
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/20/business/britain-flour-mills-baking.html
 
A week before Britain came to a standstill in mid-March, the Wessex Mill found itself fielding nearly 600 calls a day requesting one of the country's hottest commodities: flour.
 
The mill in Oxfordshire has produced nearly 13,000 small bags of flour each day during the coronavirus pandemic, a fourfold increase. Demand led Emily Munsey, a flour miller who runs the business with her father, to hire more staff and add afternoon and night shifts to keep the mill running 24 hours a day, seven days a week, for the first time in its 125-year history.
 
"It's been very challenging as a company. The amount of work we've all had to do has increased a huge amount," said Ms. Munsey, who has since scaled back to five days a week, though still around the clock, to give employees a weekend break. "Demand remains consistently obscene."...

True. My husband and I eat on the coffee table in the living room
like civilized people.

Use it to cook some "greens", like a 5-pound of them. And some
shitlins to go with it. A 10-lb pail comes out to be about 1.5 lbs
in the end and leaves the apartment smelling like shit. That's why
you cook ham hocks and greens at the same time - to mask the smell.

Shelly would rather go out and shoot people than deer.
 
Half is bullshit. They can't sell wild game retail.

The only problem with killfiles or just not reading everything,
is that sometimes yoose types will jump into a conversation
without knowing all that has been discussed previously.
 
It happens here all the time, not just you.
 
I've never liked censorship in any form and I certainly
won't do it to myself by choice. People should deal with
the real world and not just half of it.

My place is a 2-bedroom + family room. My living room, dining
room and family room I opened up like one big greatroom. I
have a walk-through kitchen too (wide openings but no doors).
One full bath and two nice sized bedrooms. Total floor space
is 1050 sq feet plus porch/balcony that I do use too.
 
All of the windows + wide sliding door are floor to near
ceiling too. No small windows. Plenty of light and fresh air.
 
Plenty of space for daughter and me while I raised her here
and about twice as much space as I need for myself now.
Most of the area is unused now except just walking through.
