You say potato... :) kili was planning to leave him. Then she got
sick. TFM simply wouldn't work. She complained to me constantly about
him getting so drunk he'd forget to pick her up when *she* got off work.
What a guy!
 
I knew her better than many people here know. I don't like talking on
the phone but kili is someone I did talk to. She made a bad choice and
was trying to find a way out. She was estranged from her mother (who
thought she never should have left her - according to kili - abusive
boyfriend Greg in Maui - until it was clear she was dying). She didn't
get any help from the worthless TFM or his family. I felt sorry for
her. BUT... she also jumped into marriage with some guy she met on a
BBQ newsgroup. She was mostly vegetarian so why she thought Allen was
*all that* is a mystery. Anyone else remember her complaining about him
making her go to the "stinky meat store"?
 
Imagine forcing Bruce to spend the day in a butcher shop. Must have
been like that. RIP, kili. Rot in hell, Allen Tipton.

I have been using powdered buttermilk for cooking. It isn't cheap, but
it is cheaper than throwing away half the fresh buttermilk after using a
a cup or two for cooking.

Just an observation here, Jill. You keep cutting down a cheese that you
admit to having never tasted. That's a bit odd to me.

Oh, heck. I'll cut down stadium nacho cheese for her.
 
A proper nacho is made with real cheese (I even like mass-market
Monterey jack), melted onto the chips in the oven.
 
Not this glop:

LOL Aside from the fact that I'm not a big fan of nachos, even I
understand they can me made using actual cheese, not some glop squeezed
out of a bag or heated up from a jar. Further, since the actual topic
was cheese fondue, I'll say again: the cheese fondue I've made called
for Swiss cheeses. Who puts swiss cheese (any variety) on nachos? ;)

The real question is, do you absolutely love it? Maybe, as Steve
suggested, I've had a very sheltered life. Sorry, but Dad never took me
to a ball game. ;)
 
I do know Swiss fondue is nothing like that nacho cheese stuff. Don't
get me wrong, I've had cheese dip with chips at parties, sure. It was
never anything to rave about. And it sure isn't anything like what I
think of when someone says "fondue".

I've been to the ball game, about 50 years ago. Peanuts, popcorn, or
hot dogs. I don't see where nachos (of any kind) could improve on
those classics.

Definitely due to water retention, to an extent.
 
Basic formula is how many calories you burn in a day
Subtract that from how many calories you consume.
3500 calories extra will add a pound of real weight
 
A one meal event is probably mostly water weight.

Actually, he does spell it Allen. I remember because it's exactly the
wrong way that I spell my middle name (Alan - one L followed by an A).

I like to soak chicken in it, especially prior to frying, but can't
use a quart in one go. I pour the remainder into an ice cube tray
and freeze then put all of them in a bag and voila! I have handy
portions readily available, it freezes well.

My experience is with cultured buttermilk, not old fashioned buttermilk.
I'm specifying because I don't know which you have in UK.
 
For nearly all uses, frozen buttermilk works as well as "fresh". For baking
and most recipes, it is great. But, freezing kills the live cultures. I
have several cups of buttermilk frozen at the moment; but, had to buy a pint
this week to make crema for a Mexican meal. The texture will also be off
for uses such as drinking and dressings.

I *wish* my plate held 2 servings of YOUR lasagna dinner. ;-D
 
I had a couple of Johnsonville cheese/sausage dogs. Good but nothing to
brag about. I remember Eckrich cheese/sausage dogs being better. Haven't
seen them around lately though.
 
BTW, I do LOVE the Johnsonville commercial where the guy is talking to
the wild animals. heheh good one!

Takeout sushi again. We wore ourselves out doing yard work, and
it's commencement at the university so downtown is a no-fly zone
for us.
 
But with a nice homemade salad.

It's a pretty stupid commercial. The newer one with the 1960's
game-show theme is pretty good, though. Guy wins a boat but wants the
smoked sausage... so they fill the boat with sausage! :)

Just had a very odd thought. Feta is a Greek cheese, so why is it
spelled with an "f" instead of (like so many other Greek words), "ph"?
 
You know: "pheta"?

Because even "ph" is a translation of the Greek letter phi.
 
Besides:
 
"The Greek word feta (φέτα) comes from the Italian word fetta ("slice"), which in turn is derived from the Latin word offa ("a morsel", "piece").[12][13] It was introduced into the Greek language in the 17th century, became a widespread term in the 19th century, and probably refers to the practice of slicing cheese in order to place the slices into barrels.["
