| graham <g.stereo@shaw.ca>: Apr 23 10:09AM -0600 The movie "Big Night" was discussed on the radio this morning. This is a must see for all foodies and is about 2 Italian brothers and their failing restaurant. A friend of mine in the UK is trained chef (unfortunately days away from dying) and he saw it in a movie theatre when it first came out. He went to a matinée showing and most of the patrons in the sparsely filled theatre were also chefs. Watching one of the brothers make a complex dish he shouted out: "You're doing it wrong", much to the amusement of the others there. |

This part just cracks me up. I can't say if they're doing the fighting and Italian parts right. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDcPRvZ9sDU |

"Call the Midwife" airs here on Sunday night on my local PBS station. I'm able to record on the DVR any shows that might interest me if they're aired late or conflict with something else I want to watch at the same time. |

I do remember both of my grandmother's baking bread and have used their recipes. They didn't have anything other than AP flour to work with and the loaves were very tasty. Jill |

Until I get my masks I've a nice lightweight scarf (scented with 4711!) that I can do this with... And SHOPPING - wise, I just snagged an Amazon Fresh evening delivery...first time in about six weeks that they had a window open...pretty good selection, too...!!! -- Best Greg |

There was not enough that it accumulated, except one morning when there was just enough of strangely textured flakes that they turned the ground white. It was like little peas of Styrofoam. It was snowing a little this morning but it has turned into rain. |

Our ferals shelter in our barn where they can climb 30' to the top on the rafters and cat walks where raccoons and coyotes can't reach, plus there are lots of tall trees; feral cats can climb trees like squirrels. Janet's cats may not have been feral, we have some cats that come here to eat but they are not feral, they belong to someone nearby who lets them out, probably to save on cat food and cleaning cat litter. Those cats won't let us pet them and won't run off unless we get too close, but they are not feral. |

He sure does. I've lived in a lot of places and met people from all walks of life. The only ones I've encountered pushing an agenda when it comes to food are the people who *don't* eat meat. I'm sure as hell not trying to shove a nice tender (medium rare) steak down anyone's throat. I have a friend who is a vegetarian. He's a nice guy. He doesn't rail at me because I choose to eat meat. I don't try to convince him he should eat meat. No skin off my nose what he eats. We get along just fine. :) Jill |

Opening later, closing earlier. I believe Walmart closes at 7 now but >the hours seem to change quite frequently. the early hours are for those over 60, those who are handicapped, and those with any underlying medical issues that would make them more vulnerable to Covid-19. You qualify on several points. Many stores have a spend $35 and a drive up and pick up your groceries (you choose the time for pick up) or a free delivery if you spend a certain amount. The items you indicated don't require any special handling or choosing (cans, bags, packages etc.) Walmart tends to be a big use of time to online shop. You make out your list and then they tell you it is out of stock. Albertsons has drive up and your groceries are delivered to your car and they tell you as you shop if something is out of stock. Costco has $35 for free delivery. You will know as you shop if something is in stock. It used to be one-day delivery but so many are using the system now it is 5-day delivery (that doesn't mean they shop your goods and they sit around for 5 days) I've been very pleased with Costco and Albertsons. I won't shop Winco during this time because they (at least here) seem to think it is a personal insult to have to make any adjustments. As of yesterday I have filled my grocery requirements. As you say, it is difficult to get beans, canned or dry. I was able to get limas, lentils, kidney, pinto and yellow beans at Albertsons (dry, canned and frozen) I even got a head of iceberg lettuce. Everything in the cart delivered to me was in absolutely perfect shape. Learning the various online shopping systems takes a little bit of head scratching but then it is a breeze. Janet US |

She always caters to the gardener. Brown rice is fine, it just takes longer to cook and has a different texture since it hasn't been hulled. I like the taste of it but since I don't eat a lot of rice, no, I haven't gone out looking for it. I've got plenty of dried beans in the pantry. Lentils, too. Thing is, I don't worry about running out of food. I grew up with parents who were children during the Depression in the 1930's. They learned to stock up and taught me to do the same. I've got a well stocked pantry and freezer. Hey, I even have toilet paper! She'll always find something to complain about. She's been doing it for years. Nothing ever goes right in the crooked little house in Bothell. Jill |

Of course you don't have the brains to either call the store you want to shop at or even check online their hours of operations. That's par for you. Even if you don't 'qualify' to be considered senior you could still be at the stores early when the selections are better. Honestly, I don't believe that stores are opening later but closing earlier. But keep on whining, that's what we expect from you. |

You know Walmart, Albertson's, Costco, or any of the other stores in Bothell don't do online shopping! Nor do they deliver much less bring groceries to your car. That's simply not done there. She stated they don't open early so you know they aren't going to offer any of those conveniences. ;o) |
