Anchovy with lamb sounds really weird but it's a great combination Janet UK |

That deal you had on cherries must have been some kind of sale at the other store. ALDI potato chips are OK, ice cream is fine, and I get cheap cans of beans and tomato sauce. The selection is limited in general, and I don't go regularly. Maybe every couple of months. |

They have good deals on German - imported holiday treats around Christmas, and their house brand chocolate bars (German) are good... But yeah, they'll often only have a house brand of an item, and if they are out of that, yer outta luck... Used to shop at one in Chicago's Uptown years ago when I worked adjacent to an Aldi, but have not been back since... -- GM |

No rhythm, no > originality, no nothing. What country music are you listening to?? Most all country music tells a story, and has more meaning than whatever pop garbage they play on the radio. Now, some new "country" is the exception. It's starting to fade into pop music with a twang. |

I'll find out within a few years. Last time I asked someone, they told me that it would cost them a few thousand dollars to go through probate court, and since their father had nothing of value, they didn't want to bother. That other house was lived-in but in terrible shape, with the roof leaking. She took any belongings of worth, and told me that I can have the house if I figure it out. Well, it will cave in by the time it goes to tax sale. I might go back and nab the almost new high efficiency gas furnace. |

Nab that gas furnace whilst you can, Michael, as the libtards want to ban natural gas... This was just in my local nooze... my comment on the article is below the article: City's electrification working group plans to survey residents in August by Matt Simonette July 31st, 2023 https://evanstonroundtable.com/2023/07/31/citys-electrification-working-group-plans-to-survey-residents-in-august/ "The city's Building Electrification Working Group plans to survey Evanston IL residents in August about their familiarity with and concerns about prohibitions against natural gas connections in new construction. The committee, previously the _____Natural Gas Phase Out Working Group____, met for the second time July 31. The committee's goal is to eventually draft legislation codifying those prohibitions. But first, they'll be issuing the surveys in August, then holding both a larger town hall and targeted stakeholder meetings in September. In June, Oak Park became the first Illinois municipality to pass an electrification ordinance, and Evanston city officials want to check in with residents and other stakeholders about their familiarity with electrification efforts before launching a similar proposal. Member Joel Freeman admitted "there's a lot of fear out there" about electrification efforts, thanks to heated political rhetoric surrounding stoves and other gas appliances being under increased scrutiny. But the electrification working group's principal concern is legislation targeting new construction and, ultimately, properties undergoing renovations..." Gregory Morrow says: August 1st, 2023 at 6:22 AM [Your comment is awaiting moderation] "Electricity grows on trees, doesn't it? I guess that's why our electric rates are continually diminishing… I expect next that our city leaders will be telling us that "electricity will be too cheap too meter" if this plan is enacted… Electric heat is *far* less efficient than gas heat. Then add in the losses involved in burning the natural gas, coal, or nuclear generation (fortunately, Illinois gets about 50% of it's power via nuclear) to create the electricity and you'll find that the net effect will be more consumption of these resources than the current state. None of that matters though, when you are "righteous on carbon"… Cooking on an an electric stove? If this is enacted, it will be still *another* reason for potential restaurateurs to bypass Evanston for "friendlier climes"… and not just restaurateurs, but other developers… For lower – income folks with electric heating/appliances, will Evanston be assisting them in paying their much higher electricity bills? How does struggling with higher energy bills fit in with all the "equity" talk that we continually hear from Evanston city government? From The US Department of Energy: https://www.energy.gov/energysaver/electric-resistance-heating "Electric resistance heating is 100% energy efficient in the sense that all the incoming electric energy is converted to heat. However, most electricity is produced from coal, gas, or oil generators that convert only about 30% of the fuel's energy into electricity. Because of electricity generation and transmission losses, electric heat is often more expensive than heat produced in homes or businesses that use combustion appliances…" Respectfully, Gregory Morrow..." |

Admittedly, I don't think that I've ever bought buttermilk. I'll have to try that for biscuits some time. I'm not much into drop biscuits, so I think I could avoid the issue that the article writer had with powdered buttermilk, so I might stock that in the future. |

I doubt that many English > people eat that all the time. That's an English full breakfast. Unless I'm having a late breakfast (combined into lunch/brunch), typically I only eat a piece or two of toast and coffee. Sometimes a small bowl of cottage cheese with it if I'm hungrier. A "full breakfast" is way too heavy for the morning meal. |

I have a pint of buttermilk in the fridge, waiting for me to turn it into ranch dressing. Or creamy garlic. Or a half pint of each. -- Cindy Hamilton |

My point completely flew over your head, which is the push of the dairy industry that children "need" multiple glasses of cow's milk per day. How absurd! I cook with butter, and I've mentioned that plenty of times before. We keep some milk on hand for cooking. Cheese is rare, and ice cream is a treat. Everything, in moderation. A tall glass of "ice cold" milk is not moderation. |
