• 410 more picnic food

    From MICHAEL LOO@1:123/140 to NANCY BACKUS on Thursday, October 11, 2018 14:10:54
    I can reliably make stuff that suits me better than what
    the best of supermarkets can - and can most likely make
    stuff that suits other people better as well.
    I believe you... next time, I'll just let you do it... :) But when you aren't around, I'll get the Weggie's stuff... :)

    I should have figured out what you were doing
    and made the suggestion myself.

    I haven't had the Nabisco ones in ages, though... it might have been reasonable to have that comparison... Besides, what triggered
    having it
    for the picnic was the thread reminiscing about them, and our not
    having
    had them for so long.... ;) Also... I noted last shopping day that there are packaged Voortmans (in an assortment of flavors) that
    aren't
    sugarfree... maybe some picnic they should have a chance to redeem themselves from vileness...?
    Perhaps.
    In the meantime, I might get a package for the fun of it... ;)
    Not a huge extravagance, after all.
    True... :) A larger consideration would be how long it might take to
    eat the whole package(s)... I still have some of the picnic Osem ones
    left... ;)

    You could take them to church or your mechanic
    or someplace where they can get consumed before
    they get stale.

    And egg-and-cheese things are more likely to
    harbor nasty bugs.
    I suppose, but not all that likely at a church brunch here... :)
    One would hope not, but it's my turn to say better
    safe than sorry.
    We do have a good track record, for starters... ;) And as long as the
    cooks are using Wegmans eggs, it's almost 100% sure that the eggs are
    safe... :)

    I hope that stays the case, especially regarding
    the reliability of Wegmans' eggs.

    Meatloaf mix, oil, spaghetti sauce, additional thyme
    maybe because that's what I do, a bit of extra garlic
    and onion as needed, a couple teaspoons of cayenne.
    Pretty easy, pretty duplicable.
    Don't forget the cumin... ;)
    There wasn't much of that, and as I recall it was
    all in the sauce. But yes.
    You'd said you were putting it into the meatball mix, but I wasn't
    around when you were making it, so dunno how it really was... :) other
    than very tasty when eaten as the finished product... :)

    I don't recall putting it into the mix but do recall
    tipping some into the sauce. It could just as easily
    have been in the meatballs, but traditionally that's
    where I put thyme in.

    One could have used the juice to make "peach sparkler"
    or something like that.
    We didn't bring any home with us... not sure if that was because it was all used, or if Richard just didn't remember it after the service... I didn't think to look when I left when Shipps did....
    Someone no doubt finished it up.
    Or an unopened bottle is still sitting in the church's kitchen.... ;)

    And no doubt goes to good use sometime.

    Yup.

    Possibly... :)

    As do I... but see no reason to expect things to change, at least as
    long as there's the same attitude towards quality etc at Wegmans...
