• 582 parts was tarts

    From MICHAEL LOO@1:123/140 to RUTH HANSCHKA on Saturday, April 14, 2018 05:45:08
    part, which liks like and probably is a standard
    alkali (carbonates, etc.) detergent.
    Your mother finally (almost) made good on her threat of washing your mouth out with soap? It sounds like you tasted the rinse aid.

    See below. Hard to tell which component was
    which, but you might be right.

    Failing, but attempting. I like real food too much.
    Food is good. I'm still losing, despite three
    meals a day and snacks. I shouldn't complain,
    because sooner or later things will flop and
    the weight gain will come automatically.
    It always does sooner or later.

    My norm has been 160-170 for quite a while.
    Now it's in the mid-140s, and when I zoomed
    up to 148 a couple days that seemed to be a
    major concern. My 34" pants are just the right
    size (I briefly had to wear Lilli's late
    husband's 33s).

    Me either, but the sausage chopped into no salt added spaghetti sauce improves both. Those sauces tend to be fairly bland.
    Make your own!
    It's been known to happen.

    It should happen all the time. Of course, you
    have the additional factor of the couponing
    thing, but that gets you inferior product.

    That's one reason I only buy things on line if someone else is eating
    the
    return shipping if I get a lemon. Or if it's something I can afford to just donate or dump if it's no good.
    Lilli usually does and bemoaned the fact that
    she had been seduced by $5 or 10 savings from
    manufacturer-direct.
    I've also been known to buy small bits from rummage sales; if a five buck toaster keels over, no one cries too hard.

    Not too hard, but paying someone $5 so you
    have the opportunity to cart away their trash,
    that doesn't seem too great.

    it in bacon grease would be better still, but that wouldn't exactly be kosher. There's also a french toast variant of it that tops the fried matzoh with fruit and sweet syrup.
    There's all kinds of leftover matzo recipes.
    Many are of long standing, so some of them
    must work okay.
    If they didn't taste at least decent someone would come up with new ones.

    Exactly. One of the dangers of this instant
    publishing scheme that is the Internet is that
    bad ideas and speculations are given artificially
    inflated lifespans.

    covered matzoh, etc. It's all baking ingredients for the deep freeze.
    Sounds good - what's the price of 1/2 price
    KfP chocolate compared to regular sale regular?
    The 14-ounce bars were marked down to $2.88 instead of $7 or so. That's
    the baking stuff.

    That's an incredible price for any kind of
    semi-reputable chocolate. Even the list price
    wasn't too awful.

    Vanilla caramel custard
    categories: dessert, celebrity, dairy
    servings: 6

    1 vanilla bean
    32 oz whole milk
    1 ts butter
    8 egg yolks
    4 whole eggs
    1 3/4 c sugar
    h - For the caramel
    2/3 c sugar
    Few drops lemon juice

    Split the vanilla bean lengthwise into
    quarters without detaching the strips
    from the stem. In a saucepan, bring the
    milk to a simmer and add vanilla bean.
    Remove from heat and cool completely
    before removing vanilla bean.

    Preheat oven to 400F. Butter the inside
    of six heatproof ramekins and refrigerate.

    Combine egg yolks and whole eggs in a
    large bowl. Add sugar and blend with a
    whisk until smooth and creamy. Pour in
    the vanilla-flavored milk, a little at
    a time, whisking constantly.

    To make the caramel, combine 1/4 c cold
    water with the sugar and lemon juice in
    a saucepan and let sit 10 min. Place over
    medium heat and cook without stirring
    until sugar is brown but not burned. Pour
    hot caramel just to cover the bottom of
    each ramekin; then fill almost to the
    top with custard.

    Prepare a water bath by half filling a
    large ovenproof baking dish with water
    and place the ramekins inside. Bake
    30 to 35 min or until set. Remove and
    cool completely before unmolding.

    To make a chocolate custard, add 4 oz
    bittersweet chocolate to the custard.
    For a coffee-flavored custard, add
    2 ts instant coffee.

    We have been known to frequent thrift stores from time to time, but one
    thing we do not buy is electric appliances. There is no way to tell if
    they even work, much less how safe they might be (e.g. defective
    wiring).

    I generally don't either, but a church sale or estate sale is different.
    Things haven't been bashed about as much and I'm more willing to gamble if
    need be. I'm more likely to go hunting unheralded treasure.

    Eep. That might be cause for alarm indeed.

    It should happen all the time. Of course, you

    Sometimes. Also the factor of increasing physical disability and a time crunch. Some days standing around and cooking isn't in the cards.

    I've also been known to buy small bits from rummage sales; if a five
    buck
    toaster keels over, no one cries too hard.

    Not too hard, but paying someone $5 so you
    have the opportunity to cart away their trash,
    that doesn't seem too great.

    The person who donated it gets rid of something they didn't need or want
    any more, I get something useful, and a church gets some money. To me that sounds like a win all the way around. It's even better when it's gold or
    silver jewelry bought under melt weight, but....

    If they didn't taste at least decent someone would come up with new
    ones.

    Exactly. One of the dangers of this instant
    publishing scheme that is the Internet is that
    bad ideas and speculations are given artificially
    inflated lifespans.

    And they stick around forever.

    It's not the greatest stuff, but it's not meant for eating out of hand.
    I've had some Israeli KforP eating chocolate too, here and there; it's not worth the price of admission.

    Do you carry a scale and calculator when you go hunting for jewelry? Or

    Mostly just experience and eyeballs. A lot of times I'm at a rummage sale or
    a tag sale...and the last thing you want to do then is call attention to something good. At an estate sale, it might be useful, but generally not.
    They want what they want.

    I've found out recently that amber can be a much better bet, if there's
    enough of it, but that's harder to tackle than precious metals. Some is
    worth silly money and some isn't worth the effort.

    I've seen some of the things you list on Ebay, and the prices a few of

    No idea what rau rau is, but this sounds good anyhow -- and I know you
    would like the ginger in it.

    Ginger, scallops, fish sauce... I'm not sure I'd want to do this with the scallops I can find here. Not fresh enough. The seasonings look yummy
    though. Rau Ram is Vietnamese coriander; I looked it up.
