I really enjoy cauliflower if I have not had it for a while. Then I
have it once and and lose interest in having it again for a long time.
My wide sometimes buys it when she does the shopping. I don't think I
have every picked it up on my own.... That being said. I have sliced it
up and smothered it in yogurt and curry powder and then grilled it....
very tasty.

Same here.

The only time I've had cauliflower is raw pieces in
a salad. The only good part was the salad dressing
coating them. ;)

I do that often because I forget to bring my bags into the store.

This is per Target, other stores in Chicagoland have similar, too:
 
"Effective March 26, and until further notice, Target stores will stop handling guest-supplied reusable bags out of an abundance of caution. Our team members are bagging items in a Target-supplied paper or plastic bag, and we're waiving any local bag fees. If a guest brings in a reusable bag, they can choose to bag their items themselves..."
 
Just received an Amazon Fresh grocery delivery, they've switched from paper bags to sealed plastic bags for all non - refrigerated items (cold items always in insulated plastic bags)...

Depends on the produce for me. I will buy bags of potatoes, carrots and
onions and risk having some less than prime product because they are so
much cheaper. A 10 lb bag of potatoes is usually about the same price
as 2 lb from the bulk bin.

Maybe I'm dense, but I don't see the problem with bringing your own bags.
ALL the stores around here spray down the entire cart when it's returned
to the store. I've yet to see anyone prowl in someone's bag in their
cart if they're afraid the bag might be contaminated.

Thank you, Jill.
So nice to post something for once and not have
someone here argue.
 
I went to the grocery store this morning. First trip in
15 days. It was time to go. I even scored a package of TP.
Only 2 left. A bit expensive but it was time. My old stash
was running low after 3 months. Who would have ever guessed
that TP would be an item to disappear for so long?
 
As for produce, I bought a large beefsteak tomato. Not
fresh from a garden but it looks very nice.
 
Then I also bought 5 kiwi fruits (20 cents each). I like
those occasionally.

If it's chunky and hot, it's not Vichyssoise, not matter what you
call it at home.

I think we've run this nit-picking episode into the ground.
 
About a year ago, I watched a Martha Stewart cooking show.
She demonstrated how to make a "Shepard's Pie."
 
She used ground beef, not lamb. If she had posted that
recipe here in RFC using a fake name, she would have been
slammed bigtime by many here.

I bought some frozen ones this morning for a seafood lasagne for my d-i-l.
The supermarket that has the best fresh fish has had several cases of
covid among the staff. I don't feel like risking a visit there.

Thai chicken curry with coconut milk. I usually make it with whatever
curry paste I have on the go. This time I made it with Thai green curry.
I was a little reluctant because I have never had great luck with
green curry. It redeemed itself last night. It was excellent.

More likely they checked him out before the meeting and called to tell
him his meeting is canceled.

Presently I'm involved in a hiring process and that is *exactly* the protocol in place...in this instance two potential candidates were nixed because of "dodgy" stuff on their publically - viewable Facebook accounts...

Since you guys are all excited about female parts.... there was a funny
local story in the newspaper yesterday. A guy met a woman on some sort
of dating site. She was an "escort" and they arranged to get together
for sex and drugs ... for money. The guy showed up and she was a real
dog, nothing at all like her profile picture. So the guy just wanted the
drugs. He didn't want sex with her and would not pay her. So she
attacked him and then started screaming that he had assaulted her and
two guys game out and beat and robbed the guy.

I agree. I am not inclined to click on links to videos unless I have
some idea what they are about. I used to consider dsi to be a trusty
source, but I clicked on enough of his video links to realize they just
aren't of much interest to me.
 
On a related note.... when someone shows up here out of the blue and
posts a link I definitely do not click on it.

No. Any restaurant. I don't much eat at chain restaurants. I don't eat the
cole slaw at any restaurant (or from the deli) because their track record for
sugar is so poor. I usually upgrade the side of cole slaw to a small salad.

If I am reading the information from the town correctly you need a
permit if you are altering or rebuilding a roof, but not to re-shingle.
I have had my roof done professionally twice. The last time it was done
by a insurance company and using a very professional business. Not a
word was said about a building permit.

Great minds think alike. Googling for stuffed pepper casserole yields
"About 23,000,000 results".
