So I cleaned > up all the mess then went into the bedroom and told the > girls, "Change of plan...we're going out for pizza tonight" My first bad thing was chicken salad with Soba noodles. I followed the instructions but the noodles were hard and tough. I think the next one was in NY. I was feeding the neighborhood kids as well. I was making chicken and dumplings in the Crockpot. But I used dried vegetables. The corn didn't cook! Thankfully I noticed this before I put the dumplings on it. I had to dump it all out, then pick out all the corn. Thankfully I got it all. Then two potato disasters. Not sure which came first. Was making a cottage pie but something came up (not sure what) and I had to make it quickly. I grated the potatoes, then boiled them. They seemed done. I had a hard time mashing them. End result was something gluey, starchy and not good. Next was a faux pierogie casserole. It was pierogie filling stuffed into large pasta shells then smothered with sautéed onions and butter then heated through. My potatoes were too runny. So I added instant potato flakes, but a little too much. The potatoes were too thick and dry. Good flavor but bad mouth feel. |

If you stir-fry it with some black bean sauce and garlic it's quite presentable. My kids seem to enjoy canned green beans though. My son is famous for his party sized tray of green bean casserole. The very thought of which, sends shivers down my spine. |

Green beans are one of my favorite foods! I've grown a fair bit of snake beans. Are snake beans long beans? They're definitely long and they taste like green beans.

Not to say there's anything wrong > with green beans. That's not a standard American dinner at all. Cornbread is commonly eaten in the south and Midwest. But it's usually served with dried beans cooked with ham. Stuff like that is rarely eaten up north and if it is, the people eating it usually came from elsewhere. |

We would be sent out to pick them every day. Some were for supper that night and my mother would blanch and freeze the rest. We always had enough frozen home grown beans to have them a couple times a week. I loved them. I still like nice fresh green beans. For a lot time it was hard to find nice green beans out of season. I find it hard to resist buying beans if they look good. |

Whatever. I have a digital electric alarm clock large numbers with battery backup. It sits on the night stand on the other side of the bed. When needed I set the alarm, it goes off. I wake up, get out of bed and turn it off. It's not rocket science and it doesn't require an Amazon Prime account to buy electric alarm clock. Jill |

We were also asked to work Saturdays and sometimes Sundays, those were for double time. There were times when we worked three shifts, I liked the midnight shift, from midnight to 6 AM but were paid for 8 hours and from 5 AM til 6 AM we did clean up, cleaned off the machines and swept the floors of metal chips... was great pay for what amounted to custodial work... but worked out well as it saved them from having to hire a crew who would hang around leaning on their brooms for eight hours and being in the way. |

Have you ever watched "Newsy?" They advertise, "Be informed — not influenced — with Newsy's straightforward, opinion-free approach to news. Get the facts without pundits and opinions." I've just started watching them occasionally. What they claim seems to be true (so far as I've seen). One thing I like is that they do report more world news than the others do. |

He never opens the windows to let fresh air in. 12-15 minutes to bake a frozen pizza is a problem? He's just bitching because he never heard of the Newman's Own brand. He admittedly bought and heated in the microwave at the convenience store a cheap crappy pizza. Can't say I've ever done that. If I had, I surely wouldn't expect it to be good by the time I got it home. Sounds like it would be a soggy steamed mess in a cardboard box. Jill |

We don't have any pizza place here, the closest is a Pizza Hut some 15 miles away. Last week we felt like having pizza for lunch so bought one from a convenience store, no brand, just a small frozen pie, 6 tiny slices, for $8 heated in their microwave... the cardboard box it came in was worth more than that pie... first and last time... I could have done much better at home from scratch but didn't feel like it. We used to have a very good Italian restaurant in town but they are gone for more than 8 years and that store is still empty. They had great pizza and fantastic calzone. We ate dinner there about once a week and suddenly they were gone. They served a fantastic half a roast chicken with a half rack of ribs. for like $7. The motorcycle people hung out there as there was a full bar in the back. They served great food. I've no idea why they left but I miss their food and the hefty bosomed biker chicks. |
| Dave Smith <adavid.smith@sympatico.ca>: May 27 10:06PM -0400 We had quite a bit of leftover lamb from last night so I made curry with it. We usually have it with rice, but we also had leftover Vietnamese spicy beef noodles. Steamed broccoli rounded it out. |

The American variety is way too big. I suppose I should try doing something with those monsters. We grow both types, the Japanese ones are long and thin, we slice them lengthwise, season, oil, and grill them. We do the same with the large bulbous ones only we slice them into 1/2" thk round slabs... excellent in a bun with a burger and a grilled onion slice. |
