All of those things, or you could just mix it with a dry wine. I love sweet wine, but some of it really is too sweet.

> I bought a super cheap bottle of a red blend, less than $5 regular price, just to try. It was insanely sweet, like KoolAid with double the sugar. I added a bit of lemon juice until I got to something drinkable. Still not great but I never expected much from a $5 bottle.
 
I buy bottles of moscato from ALDI for $2.49. "Sangria" too. https://www.aldi.us/en/products/alcohol/red-wine/detail/ps/p/winking-owl-sangria/
 
I like cheap wine and expensive beer.

No. I think it's because more people are going to this particular store to
get the best prices, and we're still only supposed to go out for necessities
so when people shop, they buy more than normal.
 
I am boycotting Seattle except for the very Northern part as my BF lives
there. Nothing bad in his area yet but there was stuff in the Northgate area
recently and he is near there.

This whole thing is beyond crazy. We, the non-protesters can get arrested
for not wearing a mask. They are getting away with murder. It's sick and
sad.
 
Things had gotten better here until yesterday. Had to call about a drug deal
again. This time, the guy dropped the drugs in the park, took off and
another person picked them up.

I've been trying to be like that, plus the other fashionable superfoods they
talk about elsewhere. It's still too tempting to ALWAYS avoid the junk.
So, I just have to run around the track a couple of times more, I guess. If
I was in downtown, Vancouver, Seattle or Portland like you, I'm sure the
authorities wouldn't chase me down while running laps around the nearby high
school track. Weird. Try picturing that.
(I know what your response is: don't put it past them)
 
I've been working out like mad. Last I checked, I was down 17 pounds. I do
buy some candy and chips but I mostly buy healthy stuff. If it's not here, I
won't eat it.

Oops sorry. My stockpile. I have tons of beans, rice and pasta now, bought
with the belief that the grocery stores might close. We were instructed to
lay in a stock of food to get us by for two months. Got to eat that now.
 
Tonight I used up the ricotta cheese in a pasta dish. The end result had the
taste of lasagna but it was too rich for me and I could only eat a few
bites.
 
I also screwed up. Grabbed what I thought was a small can of tomato sauce
and didn't realize the mistake until I opened it. It was carrots. Forgot
that I found two little cans of carrots somewhere and bought them. So I ate
them because the can was opened. For me, canned carrots are okay in a soup
or casserole. But on their own? Not my favorite thing.

I've been going to the Walmart Neighborhood Market as their prices are lower
overall. Granted, I won't buy much of their meat even when in stock because
I won't buy stuff with water or salt water or whatever, added.
 
But... I was going to pick up a pot roast at QFC. Looked to be enough for
4-6 servings. Wasn't wearing my glasses so couldn't read the weight. They
wanted $50 for it! And the price of chicken is much higher.
 
Also in almost every store I go to, about 1/3 of the meat counter is fake
meat. I have not noticed this at Walmart. Come to think of it, I haven't
noticed any fake meat in the meat dept. They might have it elsewhere though.
 
My friend dined out at a fancy restaurant the other day. They had a limited
menu as most places that are open here now do. She ordered the meatballs. It
wasn't pasta and meatballs. Just meatballs drizzled with sauce. Weird. She
loved them and asked what kind of meat they were made of. It was fake meat.
How can they call them meatballs? I've seen recipes for "Wheatballs" made of
seitan or similar. Hmmm...

The only fish I eat is tuna or occasionally, fish sticks.

Yeh, I think I discovered your diet method by accident as well.
 
 
Anyways, good work!

I kind of wish you had put the quotes around "American" rather
than "Full American Breakfast".
 
Scrapple just isn't all that popular.

Neither are beans for breakfast in most of the USA, but Steve is in Texas.
 
A more typical full American breakfast is just eggs, fried potatoes, buttered toast, bacon or breakfast sausage, and a glass of orange or grapefruit juice.

Luckily, salt doesn't do a number on my blood pressure. I could eat salt by itself too, and did when I was younger. Your post inspired me to boil up a little broken jasmine rice as an excuse to have some tamari. I put some I&G in the water for boiling the rice. http://store.theingredientstore.com/disodiuminosinateanddisodiumguanylatepowder16oz.aspx Lots of tamari, and a little cayenne.

I'm not talking about pork chops. I'm talking about pork shoulder
or pork loin. Read for comprehension. cshenk said "pork butt".

Although I occasionally eat rye or whole wheat, 90% of the bread I
eat is white bread.

A variety of birds like it. Although they like sunflower seeds better.

10% of the bread I eat is white bread. I don't care either way but I
don't think good bread is empty carbs.

"Good" = "tastes good".
 
My husband won't eat whole wheat and for the most part I can't justify
buying more than one kind of bread, although I do have some rye and
whole wheat in the freezer.

Pot, kettle, black, Gary. You are as much of a bully as anyone with
your snide remarks. (heh heh and winky face) I hadn't looked at this
newsgroup for days. I hadn't read this thread and still haven't looked
at the picture of his mowed lawn. Yet there you go, adding my name to
your imaginary list of bullies. Sorry, I was occupied with other things
for a few days, including cooking and reading books. You tend to sneer
at me for enjoying reading. I have to wonder about that. IMHO you're
turning into an excellent troll. heh heh and ;)
