Abundantly. But for me, never a whole shaker, even
in pickling or cooking pasta.

Depends on the person or situation--some need more than others.

If at first you don't succeed, walk away again.

Abundantly! [g] - We err in opposite directions - I
tend to overchop, you keep your quotes too intact.

I try to keep mine related to the topic, without chopping too much out.

Figured that, as you seem to have bundled the place in
with the similar stores which we've been talking about.

Just verified what you were figuring.

Abundantly.

Fun place to browse, and maybe find some bargains.

Such places are amusing, especially for those who
don't read expiration dates!

since then but we ask every year about allergies, just to be safe.

It's slightly unfair to pull that on such short notice, even
though you managed to roll with the punch. I'm back now, and
Bonnie is back, and she invited people over for dinner for Monday
but has not inquired about food allergies/sensitivities/preferences,
and of course the burden will be on me. I was a little put off.
but there's still time to recover from that one.

Still time to find out about allergies or dislikes and cook accordingly.

Problem is that people tend to say, oh, anything
YOU cook will be fine. Until it's not.

Not abundantly. In the city, it's fine, but Houston is so
spread out that there are large blocks of territory that
have minimal or no public coverage - similarly to other
large cities, such as LA and Denver.

Sounds like improvement is needed.

Not going to happen in the foreseeable future.
It's a surprise to me that there's any system
at all.

We didn't question, we just accepted.

Never.

It got us good beef, at no cost. Just had to get the ration cards marked.

I'd be uncomfortable with that, even if it was good beef.

Had to go with the military dictates if we wanted to go with the
program.

I hate to say it, but in such circumstances I
might go without beef.

Caught between a rock and a hard place?

Caught between the danger of death from falling or
being squashed by a car and that of losing the eyes
altogether (or worse).

Can't win for losing there.

Not trying to lose, but can't win, 'tis true.

We had no choice--take the pb&j.

Or leave it and go hungry, which is a viable alternative.

Couldn't--Mom worked at the school & her lunch time was the same as mine. Small enough cafeteria she would have seen me ditch it.

Oh, well, it was worth the thought.

True, I just had to fill in some of the details.

Could you have occasionally effected a trade with
someone who was peanut deprived?

I've watched exactly one title in which Mr. Redford has
appeared in any prominent position, and that's because the
girl I was smitten with at the time, her cousin directed
the movie.

I can't recall any movie he's been in that I've seen--probably not
missed much.

There's also a "salad" called Watergate. My MIL gave me a copy of the
recipe years ago; I think I made it just once.

Yeah ... some of the same ingredients. I looked it up.

Hi Michael,

Abundantly. But for me, never a whole shaker, even
in pickling or cooking pasta.

Depends on the person or situation--some need more than others.

If at first you don't succeed, walk away again.

And come back with a different plan of attack.

We do, when grocery shopping, and have pulled a number of things
out/called them to the attention of staff.

That's why we want to know in advance. One child in our LG at church
can't have too much dairy (some, but not a lot) so I let his mom know we
were having lasange a couple of weeks ago. She packed an alternative
entree for him but let him have the rest of the meal.

A few cities in the US have a half decent public transportation system.
When Steve was getting his language training in Monterey, I had to take
our younger daughter to the hospital on Fort Ord (from Pacific Grove).
We were able to get there easily by bus, not a lot of walking to stops
either. The only other places we've encountered that is in Europe.

But you weren't feeding growing kids and a spouse.

No, as most of us had basically the same sort of lunch.

Easy enough to make but nutritionally, almost but not quite dead.
