Can't speak for Sheldon but I as much as I love milk I don't use a
gallon in a week. I buy a couple of half gallons and put one in the
freezer.

We don't go through milk equally. I sporadically use some milk for
cooking/baking and will very occasionally have some milk with dry
cereal but I don't drink milk. My wife doesn't drink milk either but
she goes through about 1/2 gallon a week for her tea and coffee, I
drink coffee black, I don't drink tea. The gallon size would sour
before she could finish it so she keeps one 1/2 gallon in the freezer.
We tried buying the one gallon size because it costs less but more
often than not it sours before it's finished so tossing some out there
is no savings.

They did not have my favorite lentil thin cakes and it has been
several weeks since they last had some. I ended up getting like a 3
pound bag of tortilla strips and a double salsa.
 
I made a sauce if you want to call it that, just using mayo and those
bread and butter chips dipped my tortilla strips in that and it was
pretty damn good actually.
Then I went to Albertans and much to my sup rise they had some nice
sized pineapples for 1 dollar each.
Freakin amazing
I bought 4.... the limit was 2 so I had to re enter the store and get
2 more
 
I went back after skinning 2 of then and putting them in the air fryer
to dehydrate and they were freaking all gone.... I will most likely go
back tomorrow and see if they got any in yet.
 
Tonight I plan on eating left over sesame chicken with soy noodles.

That Mayo and sweet pickles minced is a good one we do all the time.
Basically it's ersatz tartar sauce.
 
We spent most of yesterday at the hospital. Don was getting a heart
cath with possible stents, but the test showed he's fine.
 
The hospital food was better than average at the little cafe and he was
allowed to eat as soon as he came out of recovery.
 
Dinner was sticky rice with steamed shrimp in the steamer top and a
cabbage, onion, carrot, red bell pepper, olive oil and garlic stir fry.
Grapes at the side.
 
I also made up a bean pot with great northerns, navy beans, chopped ham
steak, garlic, smoked black pepper, and the last of the home made pork
broth (leftover bones with scraps of meat simmered down to a reasonable
broth). Made up coleslaw as well.
 
Savory Coleslaw:
 
3 cups rough chopped head green cabbage
1 cup rough chopped head purple cabbage (just for looks)
1/2 cup shaved carrot peels
1/3 cup green onion tops (from the garden, can use minced regular onion)
1/2-3/4 cup hellmans mayo (to your liking)
1 Tablesoon prepared mustard (I used a grainy sort but yellow will do)
Scant dusting of garlic salt **
 
**the only salt added in any of the above meals.

It's not cool to say that somebody's hometown is a
hellhole. OTOH, Detroit sounds pretty scary. I read
an article that said the median price of a home in
Detroit is $6,500. That was startling until I
realized it must be a typo.
 
When a realtor in Detroit says it's all about
location, location, location, I'm guessing
they're talking about places where you won't
get beaten, mugged, or murdered. :)

I split, squeeze, butter and sour cream baked potatoes all the time.
But mine look split and squeezed. Kind of sad. Steve's look like the
top was sliced off into a geometric oblong and the contents stirred,
not shaken.
I wish I could make a baked potato look that good. I suppose one has to
care about presentation. I'll work on it.

Since I'm not interested in sports (baseball, football, hockey) and there's
plenty of live music and theatre in Ann Arbor, there's no real reason to
go to Detroit.
 
As a college town, we've got plenty of "furiners", but their English is
typically better than yours.

Once in a while. There's a folk-music club here, and of course the
university sponsors a lot of classical concerts, some professional and
others by their students.

One of my friends was raving about this Monk Fruit sweetener that you could
swap cup for cup for sugar. No calories or carbs. Sounded fishy. Every brand
I saw had Erythritol sweetener in it. Horrible stuff. Leaves a weird cooling
sensation in the mouth. Might be okay for something mint flavored or
something served cold but it's sure not the healthy stuff it's touted to be!

I have used Shortbread for tarts. Mine isn't super sweet.

Monkfruit sweetener does taste awful.
Looks like a fail to me.

Cool! Here's where I grew up from the age of seven after the house was
fresh built.
<https://www.zillow.com/homes/124-W-5th-St-Hawthorne,-NV,-89415_rb/>
It was a nice little house in its time. My hometown is dying, hence the
Zillow value. Hawthorne used to proudly be "The Worlds Largest Naval
Ammunition Depot". Now it's not much except for a bunch of old people
getting together on "Armed Forces Day" to see the ever shrinking parade
and knock back a few. I wouldn't want to have grown up anywhere else.

Nice. Hawthorne must be swamped with tourists.

Can you really buy a house for $38,000 in the US?

You can in Hawthorne. I sold the house in 2004 for 25 grand with a new
roof. People in their seventies who were born there, raised their kids
there and worked there all their life are now moving away. Anybody else
here from a future ghost town?
It's sort of funny. When I was a kid, people who were born in Bodie,
California lived in Hawthorne. Bodie is right over the hill and far
more famous. Let's call the phenomenon the Bodie virus that kills towns
instead of people.

I think that house, if it's small/modest as you said and in a now
unpopular area, would cost at least $200,000 (American dollars) here.
And that would make it one of the cheapest houses available, so my
estimate could be too low.

You're really missing out! I had some that I got on clearance from Sur Le
Table. I got rave reviews when I put it on steak. Alas when I looked around
to buy more, I did find it but it was very expensive. Had I known how good
it was, I would have bought more at the clearance price!

I did bake bread. The gardener has to eat gluten free bread. I can make
gluten free bread and I do sometimes make GF quick breads. The GF flour is
not cheap though. And he eats a lot of bread. It is $4.99 per loaf at the
Franz Outlet. Sometimes I find it in the marked down section for less. They
also have a GF punch card. For every 10 GF products I buy, I get a free one.
They also sell GF cookies, crackers and various mixes. Cheaper prices than
other places. And they sell things other than just baked goods such as milk,
butter, chips, spices, jam, honey, pasta and condiments. Their selection of
"other" things varies. I used to buy GF beef jerky there.
 
I went there the following day. They were massively overstocked. Lady asked
if I wanted free bagels. I don't personally like bagels but Angela does. I
got three free bags of blueberry mini bagels and 6 items from the "free"
rack. Sometimes the free items expire on the following day but usually not.
I got one white and one whole wheat big round loaf of Seattle Sourdough, a
restaurant pack (huge amount) of white dinner rolls and three restaurant
packs of hamburger buns with sesame seeds all for free!
 
I always give Angela whatever she wants of the free stuff. Sometimes I give
things to my friend in Shoreline if I'm going out that way and they have
what her family eats. They have a narrow scope of what they will eat. I
almost always get a free thing that I like. I always check the free rack on
the way in. Occasionally I will buy something for myself. All of the free
stuff exp. June 25 or later. My gardener has goats. His goats will eat most
anything so I just go for the largest stuff I can get for free. He feeds it
to his goats.
 
My entire front passenger seat was full of bread, about half of which was
free! I am actually saving a lot of money by buying the bread there. I have
a punch card for regular stuff too. One punch for every $10 spent. When the
10 punches are filled, I get one item from the marked down section for free.
I have not quite figured out the system of what goes where. I think it's
more a matter of what they have the most of and not the exp. date.
 
I'm sure by this point, you will have dropped out and not read it all. I did
ask what to do with the salt. You mentioned a salt plank. Had I had a salt
plank, I would have said that. You told me to use it in the bath. I already
knew that and said that. Up until that point, Ed seemed to be the only one
familiar with that salt. So I looked it up, saw the toast thing and posted
it just in case someone else wanted to try it. This is a cooking group and
that salt is pretty common, at least here. Perhaps it is not in the land of
no cell phones.
 
And now? I'm going to have dinner. I made a nice tuna salad with Just Mayo.
I shall stuff a free pita bread with it and perhaps have a couple of Ruffles
potato chips on the side.
 
===
 
You are very lucky to have so much free food! I never see anything like
that here!
 
We do have a counter for things that are marked down, but never free!
