Some new cell phones have wonderful cameras built in, my samsung does
and I have used it in place of a camera many times when I forgot to
take one of the latter. It's andoid because I won't pay for anything

Why wait? The tiles are mortared in! A clay tile roof is a 100 year roof. Asphalt shingles a 20 year roof!
 
This is THE last roofing job my house will ever need in my lifetime. Your asphalt shingled roof will have to be redone in 20 years, on average.

Cats are obligate carnivores. Dogs are not obligate carnivores. Before you use big words, you should know what you're talking about.

But you get some great vitamins and minerals from eating meat, too.

Southerners loved scrapple. They'd eat all I made in no time,
especially with grits and runny fried eggs. This was during the early
60s. Mine wasn't like home made as the Navy didn't have all the
offal.

I'll need to drag out a book that is all about scrapple, which is and
was known by a variety of names. I don't think scrapple was an American
invention....
 
Oh, pshew. I actually shelved this book in my breakfast section. I was
afraid it was in an overflow stack or box. Anyway, one can just look at
the dust flap of Country Scrapple: An American Tradition by William Woys
Weaver to see that this type of food traces back at least to ancient
Europe. The word "scrapple" is another story.
 
I'll spare you from a brief history of leavened biscuits. I'd first have
to ask about the leavening agent.

I didn't say I wouldn't eat it , I just said it ain't pizza . I happen
to like a good Reuben ... but I doubt that mess would qualify . And I'm
no fan of the ham/Canadian bacon and pineapple "pizza" either . Haven't
had Spam in probably 50 years and I don't intend to any time soon .

It wasn't me who was claiming 4 ounce pork chops, In fact, I didn't
mention any kid of pork at all at any price per pound. There is
nothing wrong with serving meat as I did.
I replied as I did because you claimed I never cooked anything.
However, here is pork (Ham)

We can go on to chicken and turkey next if you wish. Or better yet,
just use the arrows and page through the collection.

Go to the bottom of the page and you will see other pictures to click on to
view. Or while viewing The yummy looking plate of food at the upper right
corner of that picture you will see a blue bar that says "< prev or next >"
that you can click on if you don't want to jump to the bottom of the page
to view the next picture. There's a beautiful whole smoked turkey to drool
over if beautiful flowers aren't your thing.

Gee, I thought ducks the world over love cracked corn. Have I been lied

How are you going to eat pasta, rice, and beans without cooking? It
seems like you should be doing about the same amount of cooking as ever.

Good point, Cindy. Sounds like she confuses "shopping" with "cooking".
Don't forget, she has often bought food online. Canned wild rice comes
to mind. (ugh) Is she saying she has to hunker down and can't leave the
house to buy more food? Got to use the provisions on hand? What
happens when they're depleted?
 
If she doesn't want meat, why is a meat shortage a problem? What is
this "fake meat" she keeps talking about? Are things really that bad in
Bothell? Inquiring minds... ;)

If she is, she's full of shit. I just checked her local government's
web site. She can shop for food.
 
I note her friend dined out in a fancy restaurant. That doesn't sound
like any kind of hunkering down.

God knows. Rice, beans, pasta, and canned vegetables ought to last
for a couple of years.

Perhaps people are buying meat and leaving the Impossible Burgers in
the case. If she doesn't get there early, I can see why she might
have trouble finding what she wants.
 
I've been shopping at about 6 am before I got to work. The only trouble
I have is that I get there before they're finished stocking, so some
things I want just aren't out on the floor yet. Meat is in decent
supply, although I was unsurprised to notice prices are going up.
 
Sounds like a self-inflicted problem to me.

Yeah, it was 35 cents worth of flour instead of 5 cents, but it was way easier to work with. The texture of the noodles is very different, and you can roll them out thinner. My wife came home for lunch with bad news. Last summer a groundhog dug a burrow next to our house. I trapped it and took it far, far away. Apparently, a new groundhog has moved into the old burrow. Guess I have a good reason to buy a cantaloupe, which is what I caught the last one with.
 
The good news is that the chicken soup turned out great. I think that's my cooking for the day. I'll get takeout for this evening, especially since my son's high school graduation is tonight. I can get something he likes a lot.

LOL Buffy pays no attention to what is going on outside. (I'm waiting
for my stalker troll to chime in with a fake post.) She sits on the
back of the couch and a hummingbird will hover in front of her at the
window and she doesn't care. Ho hum.
