i'm sure that since 2011 they've figured it out.
 
i have a filter basket that works fine so i wouldn't
use a paper filter. but we don't make coffee from
grounds any more and i rarely drink coffee (maybe
once a month) anyways.

peel and boil taters (or if not going to peel then
you can scrub 'em), chunk 'em, add whatever vinegar
you like along with fried onions and bacon. but
perhaps you don't like fried onions and mushy bacon?
 
i'm pretty happy with apple cider vinegar, some
sugar and fried onions. i don't need any meat at all.
 
if i do want bacon i prefer it crunchy and on top
not all mushy and mixed in.
 
adjust all ingredients and proportions to taste.
 
we just made german potato salad yesterday and
it's ok. i like it both cold and warmed up or hot.
with or without meats. with or without onions but i
do prefer it with. bacon, definitely like it much
better crumbled on top at the last moments. sometimes
i've eaten the bacon and had it sizzle the saliva in
my mouth as i've forgotten how hot it can get in
the microwave. freaked out my nephew some days ago.
he thought i really burned my tongue.

Like I said, loss leader sale. They randomly happen here too.

LOL, why would anyone slam another over a dinner because of COVID? The
twit poster said waiting for hours for a bag of potatoes? Not sure
what planet they come from but it's not this one.
 
It's like slamming me for eating 'more than my share of apples'. I
have 2 apple trees, crop 400 or so between them. I give 300 away to
neighbors. Been doing that for 8 years now.

I was saying I agree. 5$ lobsters are quite possible. You see them
here from time to time (at least tails).

Same here or I have a plan for the leftovers.
 
I still remember a very special Thanksgiving in Sasebo. My ship pulled
in early the evening before T-day (we weren't supposed to arrive for 2
more weeks). It was just after the commisarry closed and Don hadn't
planned a turkey with just him and Charlotte.
 
I used the only bird I had, which was a cornish hen. We fixed a lot of
sides and filled up fine, even had a few leftovers off that small bird.
 
Admittedly that is trimmer than I normally would go, but 1/2 a cornish
hen works fine for normal people.

I wouldn't worry too much Bryan. Sadly, I have the opposite problem
but I'm not *too far off* my goal. People generally do not understand
that one. It sounds like a glorious 'problem' to be able to eat all
you want all the time.
 
I remember helping Charlotte lose a few lbs to enter the Navy. Local
folks laughed that I was making her carb meals because they were
die-hard 'low carb is how to do it'. She went from 162 to 138 over
several months. Her real problem is a very large chest. At 162, she
wears size 12 pants. At 138, she was borrowing my size 8 jeans and
they were a little loose on both of us.
 
Charlotte managed to escape the family trait of being so thin, we look
like a pipecleaner with the fuzz pulled off... She is 'normal' and
slightly to the thinner side if she gets some level of exersize.

When we got our new one, we paid for haul away but ended up freecycling
it locally to a family that needed it, which was better than landfill
destination. It was still fully working.

Here too. I had more water inside my sunroom than that.
 
Wasn't better with the rains today. Been happening off an on all week.
 
You may want to check the NOAA site and the fact that we are solid rain
for the next 10 days. Scary visions of Michael. We are soaked to where
the ground can't take anymore.
