That's the only thing I hate about frying some things; that > grease can pop and land everywhere. I do have a couple of spatter screens but they're not really necessary. I slash the Italian sausages crosswise so the fat leaches out into the grill pan. Also so they don't curl up when cooking. I don't cook them on high heat, cook them low and slow. There's not much spatter. Jill |

I just poke a bunch of holes in them to let the fat out. |

The three regional chains that serve my area (STL suburb) have all offered "meal kits" for some time. The one that caters to the lower end of middle-class, has the meal kits just inside the entrance; it's a modest size cooler that you see before anything else in the store and can easily be grabbed and head straight to checkout. A the store that caters to the affluent has the wine counter first upon entry, then a huge deli area that includes all manner of "meal kits", making it easy for soccer moms to grab wine with their "meal kits". The largest of the regional chains caters to the middle-class masses; the first thing you see when walking in is a cooler stoked with pre-cut-and-peeled fruit and vegetables. you then have to walk through the bakery and deli before finding "meal kits" in the meat department. I find it interesting how the chains differ in their socio-economic market segmentation. It is often reflected in their weekly ad pages as well. The low-end store has a page of beer and liquor ads, heavy on the beer. The upper-end store often has a full, or nearly so, page of wine ads and the mid-tier chain often has about a half-page covering the alcohol spectrum. -- Change cujo to juno to make a valid email address.

That '94 years' was just for Washington State. 10 people have been eaten by cougars in North America in the last 17 years. Runners, bikers, hikers, a kid playing on the school playground, and another riding a on a tricycle at his home. Meat the victims: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fatal_cougar_attacks_in_North_America I like how they listed the latest one as "non-specific". He did look like he could have been both.

My grocer has been doing these tray meals for a while. It's a seasoned meat, chicken, or seafood next to some sort of potato next to some sort of veggie, in a foil try covered with plastic wrap. Single serve, just pop them into the oven. Also pot roasts and whole or half chickens. With veggies and tubers meant for 2-4 people shrink-wrapped on styrofoam. Along with all the other stuff you mention. Except we had to give up our fried chicken for that damned sushi kiosk. Those bitches! Pre-made food is taking over the grocery store. -sw |

And that's for really small portions that barely follow "USDA guidelines". 3-4 ounces of meat, 4oz of vegetables, 3oz of cooked pasta, etc... For some people that works for them. But for many it doesn't. Restaurants could never survive servings portions like that for $9.95. Not in my area, at least. Restaurnats are much more expensive in San Francisco and New York due to rent. -sw |

Hands on. Sure. It sounds to me like s very posh lifestyle and not like the parents want to be much involved with their children. Ordering a meal kit won't make the family be any closer. It's a marketing image. Jill |

The father had a high caliber job that involved a lot of long days and entertainment. The mother was busy with social clubs, activities, accompanying the father to dinners with business partners or clients. The kids were left in the care of a nanny. |

No, it is >their choice. They are putting material things ahead of family. The children are not being raised by others. Don't know where you got that from. These people have figured out to have an income and not live in their parent's basement. They are keeping their children safe and occupied. They aren't latch key kids. The days of a mother staying home to be with the kids is no longer possible. I guess they could do food stamps and seasonal employment. Janet US |

If I had used different words than nanny and housekeeper you would have been able to look around and find many couples around you (all of RFC) who do the same thing. The words nanny, housekeeper, lawn care are the words used in my community but apparently are trigger words for some folks here. Posh lifestyle? Not hardly. Janet US |

I think there are many who would like to be home with the kids, sometimes the father, sometimes the mother, but one parent needs much more income than they are likely to get in order to achieve that. |

We had routines, like kids rotating duties, in order to get it all done but it sure as hell wasn't easy. When my kids look back, they laugh about some things but I have never once heard one of them suggest they were unhappy or felt hard done by. I reckoned that all said and done, I had Sunday afternoons off per week. I recall one one occasion my son revolted about emptying the dishwasher, he stupidly claimed it was 'womans work' - baaad idea :) Actually at work I saw a lovely cartoon, Lucy and Peanuts in the water and he says 'You don't have one of these' and she lifted her dress and said 'No, but with one of these I can have all of those I want' - so that was pinned on the 'fridge :) |

It is a tradition that old folks waggle their finger at the young folks disapprovingly. Luckily, I like to do the opposite of what most folks do. Personally, I believe the children are our future. Teach them well and let them lead the way. Our generation should pay the young folks a little more respect. The boomers are under the illusion that they're still in charge. Tan't so. The reality is that we're at their mercy and kind graces. The large numbers in our generation means it'll be a heavy load our kids and their kids will be carrying. Sooner or later, they're going to go berserk and start exterminating any oldster that isn't producing products or services. They'll waggle their fingers in our faces and yell "leach!" That's the breaks. |

Popeye, everyone knows yoose is da onliest one here that "cooks". Yoose should put something like that in your sig. It would allow yoose to type about 30% less, giving yoose much mo' time to cook yoose giant meals, or to tell everyone yoose fantastic sex stories, or to hunt down gays. |

These are about halfway through cooking. https://s7.postimg.cc/uj7in42ij/grill_pan.jpg I mentioned earlier, I'll probably add some of these sausages to tomato sauce for spaghetti. It's too wet to grill outside. I like this grill pan a lot. :) Jill |
