Jonathan Livingston (Richard Bach) meets regular greedy gull

I'll share one from dad's wife just now. She forgot to grind their whole coffee beans at Costco so I unearthed 2 small grinders. Father insists on micro-managing grinding.The bickering starts and she accidentally dumps all the ground coffee (many batches) into the half full bag of beans. I left the room so as not to crack up in front of them.

Why am I not surprised!

Comfort food. I don't recall - do you have a bonito shaving box?

We all have our priorities

I will confess to a fondness for Krab salad. So a big bowl of sweet kale and Krab in the fridge - eating a little bowlful whenever I feel like it - screw set mealtimes. Discovered that the dead built-in microwave makes a great breadbox for my no-knead (which must be craggily cut and crisped in the toaster oven

Last order I asked for tomato paste and got 2 pounds of chicken breast instead. Can't stand- at least did not get charged.

I'd read about the whole grouse hunting culture in romantic novels about the Scottish countryside. but who knew- https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/dec/19/scottish-grouse-moor-owners-face-licensing-within-five-years Roadkill harvest of larger critters like deer is a thing right? Free food. My college bestie cruised the roads in her Texas hometown in the early hours to collect dissection specimens. She is now a wonderful ,medical doctor.

It is a tough industry. I grew up when everybody had friends whose father was "at sea" on a tuna boat for extended periods, or whose female relatives worked in a cannery. https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1992-02-07-me-1290-story.html

No please. Cool, dark, well ventilated spot is my preference. Old woven Easter basket - garage in Winter (California so no frost happening), and pantry in warmer months.

I love Jim - my morning treat

Yes! - not a good plan. Seen it

And the song is missing

I meant how stored after harvest by the growers. Oh do not give up on the potato + toothpick + water. You have to change the water - does get fetid . A lovely vibrant plant can grow. https://homeguides.sfgate.com/make-potato-plant-water-cup-61262.html

But not a consistent issue right?

I never pre cook for a stew. I do enjoy Russets. It my be storage differences. I posted about the Idaho bunkers a while ago. II thought they were a joke until the small plane I was in flew over some outside of Boise Oh the backstories https://www.unitedcountrycommercial.com/search/id/court-ordered-auction-of-potato-farm-land-bannock-co-idaho/1013606/

Ha the only mushroom I can not stand fresh fresh or dried (shitake) but oh yes the soup is my comfort go to. A local Vietnamese market had it on the steam table - decent version. Love the ties.

In fairness I will own the mayo and fruit thing as typical US Midwest. I am from California and even here was subjected to gloppy versions. Not anymore a thing but I am sure there are lots of cook booklets out there with versions.

Our local favorite. Good fresh food but increasingly dumbed down.I interviewed one of the owners and she said they try to adjust to the local aging white peeps. For reference there are very few blond white kids in the local schools. The kids pile in the car at lunch and go to the Mitsuwa -(Japanese) and similar https://mitsuwa.com/tr/Plaza. - it is the seniors who go "old school". https://www.yelp.com/biz/fu-yuan-low-rollng-hills-estates Oh of course Panda Express inside the grocery

Oh I tried. But...I just hurled a very green but spotty banana into a side yard with my less than stellar pitching arm. Have at it critters

I am usually a singleton eater with big red rice cooker. At minimum 2 raw cups per go, I just freeze in plastic container. Reheat with very damp paper towel on top in a MW safe dish. The taste is fine - just don't have the lovely scent in the house of cooking rice. Do not over think -. try one and see.

Really?!? After clutching for a barf bag I ran out to the trash bin.Oddly we do not recycle as waste management studies have shown it more environmentally harmful in the area.
