I have a hard time resisting picking up a pound or two when it's on sale
even though my freezer is jam-packed with it. And if I also have a coupon,
stand back!!

Don't try that in Philadelphia, home of the soft pretzel. Yellow mustard!
 
I only buy salted butter. Unsalted just does not taste right to me. I
buy a 4 pack of State brand at BJ's or whatever is on sale in the
supermarket. Aside from a few high priced fancy butters they all taste
the same to me.

No, thanks. I'll eat my soft pretzel plain just as I have all my life.
 
I don't put butter on pretzels every time I eat them. But it's a
perfect example of something where no extra salt is needed.

Shall we bring up Butter Bells again? ;)
 
I only buy salted butter. I don't worry about the minescule amount of
butter in salt. Then again, I like salt.

The closer the trees the more view they block, it's their height too
but its more the open space to what you are viewing. We can see the
fireworks at the golf course over our barn because there are no trees
for over 350 feet from our house to our barn. When we moved here the
last owners had planted Norway spruce trees in front of each widow,
they weren't very tall yet for Norway spruce, but at arms reach from
the windows they blocked ALL the view, first week we were here I had
them all removed. I planted more suitable trees that don't block the
view. I don't like conefirs near the house anyway, they are a major
fire hazard, in hot dry weather their resin can spontaneously explode
in flames... that's how most forest fires start... and of course the
park service is too stupid, lazy, and cheap to construct fire breaks.
Most relatively recent major destructive forest fires occured under
Obama, he has zero knowlege of land management and anything else.
Australia knows even less... there was absolutely no reason for all
their fire destruction, and they still learned nothing, it will soon
happen again, and a lot worse... Aussies have to be the dumbest people
on the planet. I feel sorrow for all those critters, I feel no sorrow
for the dumb ass lazy beer sloshing Aussies.

Even in forests without conifers? That's amazing. Bloody tree!

Have you ever heard of global warming? And did you know there are more
and more latte and chardy sipping Aussies?

Popeye, it must be hell living in a world where everyone else is so

Which presidents had the level of knowledge of land management and
forestry that you require?

Until the 80s somewhere, I didn't really trust olive oil. I thought
there was a link between it and people getting food poisoning on
holidays in southern Europe. Now I use it every day.

I don't know when you lived in Malta, but I bet they use a lot of
olive oil there.

Fuck you Sheldon . We live in a remote area and great meat sales just
don't happen all that often - there's basically no competition here . So
if we want steaks for less than 7 or 8 bucks a pound , we buy during the
sale and freeze them . Beats the hell out of not having any at all .

Not for existing customers. If you have a tradesman you've used and
trusted they will treat you fairly. Not everyone falls into that
category, but some do.
 
At work, I used a plumber, electrician, phone guy and computer guy. I
could trust them to do the job the most expedient way and labor rate was
fair. If there were alternatives they would bring them up. They earned
a reputation and were careful to preserve it.

Not sure how that got into the album, other than that perhaps he likes cookies (and bird watching and Mexican pottery) just like Mrs. Beitel does. :-)

Yes, its awful. I had to throw it out. Tasted the same or worse than the store brands. I was SO looking forward to the soup and a grilled cheese sandwich. Betty
