If I want something, I buy it and often pay a silly price. I buy chicken at BJ's because it is much cheaper than the supermarket. But I have my son and family for dinner tonight and the dessert I bought comes out to $10+ a serving, plus the cost of whipped cream yet to be made. If you go through my pantry I can show you some bargains I got to also some things, well, maybe a bit silly. |

I'll check the price per pound to help me decide on which cut is a better deal but I've never seen pork chops at 50¢ a serving. The only 50¢ a serving meats are those 3 oz cans of Meow Mix...and those are actually 53¢ a can when bought by the case at Chewys. Anyone limiting their dinner to 50¢ a serving is on a starvation diet. |

We don't obsess about it , and we seldom worry about the cost of food . But we don't waste money either . We no longer even worry about budgeting , we know how much is coming in and we know how much the bills are going to be for the most part . Like I just a few minutes ago brought in today's mail , which was our monthly power bill . And it was within a couple of buck of what we expected for this time of year and the number of AC units we have running . -- Snag Illegitimi non carborundum |

Perhaps old people didn't know what dried plums were. :-) Could be. I eat a dozen of those "bite size" prunes every day. I like them, too. They're good as pierogi filling. Can't stand prune juice. Bottling (cooking) it takes away all the tartness and complexity, leaving just sweet and iron tastes. Cindy H amilton |

I didn't pay attention to the brand but apparently there are a few of them out there. Fer cryin' out loud! People can choose to be vegan if they want but why inflict a vegan diet on your poor dog? Dogs are obligate carnivores. I wonder what chemicals they have to add to make it meet (I almost typed "meat"!) a dog's dietary needs. Same thing with those faux burgers, etc. Check the ingredients lists. Loaded with chemicals to make them taste like meat. Doesn't sound at all healthful. Jill |

LOL! It kind of looks like one of the roofers' truck tires ran off the cement on one side and created a short, shallow rut in the yard. It sure isn't a "creek" or even a respectable drainage ditch. I do hope he doesn't ever encounter actual flooding because that little trough would be useless. Jill |

I do have a pound of ground beef to use up and a raw beef roast in >the freezer. This week Tops Market has a good sale on all beef cuts, including nice steaks; BOGO! I bought two large Top Round Steaks and one large Boneless Chuck... cut em into strips and sent em through my grinder this morning and made up eight 12 oz burgers for the freezer... two are in the fridge for dinner tonight on Kaiser rolls. Go to Topsmarket.com and check it out. I've noticed no shortage on meats or anything else. Just like any other time not every cut is available or on sale. The livestock farmers up here are all having good sales on meats; beef/pork... thing is you need to buy a quarter or a half, too much for us. Chickens went on sale last week. Turkeys will be available shortly. Meats from the livestock farmers are all free range grass fed. |

I think that looks pretty good, I'd eat it. There is no such thing as "true pizza". These days there are so many versions of what's called pizza there should be a Pizza Encyclopedia. The worst by far has to be Ukelele Pizza, SPAM and pineapple seems weird.... I don't even want a normal ham and Swiss hero with pineapple. I'm not a big fan of pineapple anyway unless in a Hoboken. |

| dsi1 <dsi123@hawaiiantel.net>: Jul 24 09:55AM -0700 > That could be for the kids. Otherwise, a good raw fish (sashimi) and nihonshu liquor bar would be great for the fans. You know, where you could get addicted to quickly mixing that green horseradish (wasabi) up with soy sauce (shoyu) before dipping a raw cut of fish in. I always wondered what those pink shavings were... pickled ginger or something? That pink stuff is indeed pickled ginger. It's always a welcome sight when served with sashimi or sushi or any raw fish. I haven't been eating any sashimi because we haven't been eating any rice. I suppose we could eat it with a green salad. Ha ha, that would be funny. We had air fried ono (wahoo) the other day. It's kind of tasteless but perhaps it would be good raw. The next time I cook it, it's going to be seared with ginger, shoyu, and sugar. That would be a great improvement. https://www.amazon.com/photos/shared/Wp9Jc2EkQCGqXxNLiv6_wg.uBfYfkucXBu8_tn1q-3Ifd |
