Coconut oil and ghee will typically already be in glass jars. What's the point of transferring them to a different container to melt? My jar of ghee completely melted in 15 seconds in the microwave.

I'm not supposed to eat gluten or corn among other things so that removes
all the tortillas I checked from consideration - at least at Walmart and
Albertson's groceries. I can easily make the paleo tortillas in a few
minutes so why bother hunting for something on line?

I'm looking at a set of Red Vanilla. Wife thinks she will not like them if they
screech like fingernails on a chalkboard.
Any experience? I'm an online shopper so more than likely I will not taking a fork to them in a store.
 
I really do like the clean super white looks.

The American equivalents may not be equivalent. I have had Canadian
made Parmesan and it is similar to the real thing, but it isn't. Most
factory made mozzarela is quite different from the good stuff. It is
using the quality ingredients that makes fondue good.

I am trying to wrap my head around the idea of a store not having Brie,
Emmentaler or Gruyere but carrying a ready roll fundue cheese.

There are "cheese snobs" everywhere. What sets them apart from us common folk
is their refined taste in cheese. If you think wine snobs are bad, there is
nothing like a cheese snob. They are special.

I guess your point is that you don't know or care about cheese. Some
people do, and they are willing to pay the extra money for the good
stuff. Having a lactose tolerance problem, I don't have the same
attraction to cheese that a lot of people do. A chunk of cheap cheddar
is good enough for me to make the occasional grilled cheese sandwich.
but a slice of good Swiss cheese does wonders for a ham sandwich, and I
have a hard time resisting good Brie.

They could be like the raspberry cans I have been trying to cultivate. I
rarely see berries on them ;-(
 
We have wild raspberry and blackberry growing in the bush behind our
house. I like the look of the big blackberries you can buy in the market
and I like the taste. I don't like having to deal with the seeds.

They grow wild everywhere and are easy to collect; our grandchildren
love to go blackberrying. Last autumn they made blackberry pie, apple
and blackberry Eve's pudding, and also had raw blackberries on yoghurt
and on porridge. Lots of vitamin C

Jes South of Half Moon Bay (hwy 1) is a place that sells
ollalieberries (or use to) as a pre-made jam or you can pick 'em
yerself. I usta stop there all the time during the season. They are
better than regular blackberries and within easy SFBA driving distance
of where sf lives. ;)

And I still don't know where that idea came from. Those sausages are freshly
made and/or so salty that there's no risk of spoilage. ;-)

The meat and cheese is sliced right in front of my eyes for my
Blimpies sandwich. The meat and cheese are kept refrigerated and the
sandwich maker wears gloves. I know you like Boar's Head but I don't.
There's just something about the seasoning that makes not like it.

I had a slicer and got rid of it to eliminate clutter. Getting a

Thanks.. I looked in mysupermarket but no joy there. Closest I've
found is Lakeland's kefir culture, 4.99 UKP makes 5L.
 
http://www.lakeland.co.uk/71846/Kefir-Kit-Refill
 
as they sell all sorts of dried kits for yoghurt, kefir ect I'm going
to ask Lakeland if they'd like to fill a gap in the bakers markets with
dried buttermilk. In the past I've found them really responsive to
customer suggestions.

That's because you're a guy. She likely wouldn't have told you how
unhappy she was. IMHO, she made a big mistake marrying Allen, but truth
be told she was unhappy before that. It seemed to me she was always
insecure. Always running towards something, only to find she'd gone
from the frying pan into the fire. Poor thing. She was sweet and kind,
but also very naive.

I really liked Kili. I never saw her say a mean thing to anybody!

There is no more sugar in rhubarb than there is in other fruit pies.
That might mean less total sugar because there is so little natural
sugar in the stalks.
 
I made a rhubarb pie last night and it was great. Even my wife liked
it, and she is not a fan of rhubarb.

As much as I like rhubarb, I have never been keen on strawberry rhubarb
pies. I am not all that crazy about cooked strawberries and consider it
to be a waste of good berries and a waste of good rhubarb. I love the
tartness of the rhubarb. When I was a kid we would pluck it out of the
garden and eat it raw, sometimes dipped in sugar but usually not.

The late wife of a friend of mine used to make a German chocolate
sauerkraut cake. It was delicious. The kraut could have passed for coconut.

This has been going on for a few years. I would seasonally lose my sense of
smell. This has some advantages as well as disadvantages. It's caused by a
nose and throat infection. The last time this happened was a few months ago.
It was scary the first time it happened but I expect to be over in a couple
of weeks. My boss has completely and permanently lost his sense of smell
after he had a nose job. That's unfortunate. OTOH, he's a good looking guy.

As I am sure you are too, so fear not, your wife isn't going to stop loving
you because you can't smell anything:))))
