  1. I never have a handle on this household staple. I lost count just short of $4 but recently find it over that. What's your sense?
  2. No milk box, but we did have dairy delivery. You had a usual order and requested extraordinary product by stuffing a note in an empty bottle. In winter, you would occasionally find over an inch or so of frozen cream extending from the top of the bottle. Yes, cream since this was before homogenization. We also had a chicken and rabbit lady who came into town every week or so with fresh product. As I marginally remember, rabbits were dressed but chickens needed to be drawn. Maybe not. I do remember with some angst my mother insisting that I learn how to draw a chicken. I wasn't amused, She said it was necessary should I marry someone who hunted. I told her that I would ask any guy first if he liked to hunt. Always the pragmatist.

    Dinner 2020

    Tomato with blue cheese dressing Asparagus beef with...TJ's couscous and seed mixture, since husband has mentioned that we seem to enjoying nightly rice.
  4. If you're anything like me, you will remember clearly at 3am.
  5. DH ran to the store late yesterday to find all bread (and all greens and eggs) sold out, including all tortillas, pita and naan, So it's back to DIY.. Needs must...
  6. That is s stunning piece, Andie. Wonderful patina and delightful shape! Thank you for this. Have you ever used it?
  7. Are we approaching this from etymology or pronunciation? As in potato bread or garlic bread?

    I also use boxed sauteing greens. I usually cook up the entire box for the two of us, but have started rationing us to half a box. Husband made a fast shopping run yesterday and not one boxed green was available. I need to do "grow dances" in front of the chard plant in the backyard.

    This slid past me. There is a huge crop of mallow this year. I never knew you could cook with it, altho as a child I delighted in picking and eating the "fairy cheeses". THANKS for this new window.

    For some reason, I find this extraordinarily beautiful, kind of a Van Gogh seascape, had he done those, a sense of motion.

    Mexican "frying cheese", olive bread.....yum Really ersatz pasta e fagioli. I tend to use this soup to clear out small amounts of odd pasta. Still, soulful. Toast from homemade loaf.

    Dinner 2020

    Started with a large platter of primo avocado, quintessential flavor, No adorning needed. Husband asked if I could make "hamburgers" "juicy". Like how? Like can you add something...like oatmeal? Or panko? Oh...you mean like fried meatloaf? YES! Okay, Fried meatloaf, garlicky and buttery zucchini, frying peppers. Fried meatloaf? Feel like I'm in a limbo contest.
  19. You can vary your tank of red sauce wit an occasional vodka sauce. Add red pepper flakes, splash of vodka, heavy cream.

    Lunch 2020

    Very green "boxed" soup with mandatory splat of Mexican sour cream, olive bread toast. And croutons from homemade bread, because you can't have too many carbs.

    Can you point us to a recipe?
  22. While we use tons of both dry and house made pasta (which reminds me that we have little excess flour on hand) , we don't get around to grains often. I have had my eye on clearing out my "collection" of spelt, bulgur, green and yellow peas, black and red rice, and friends. I now see this trove as several weeks of nutrition, push come to shove. The bean stash is a separate entity.
