Look at half gallon ice creams, pound coffee cans,
and so on.

Yeah, I know.... As it turns out, the surmise is proving to be correct,
as on the shelves there have appeared some new packages, different
shape, now only 10 oz instead of the 11 oz the "Original Size" packages
have recently touted.... It's still for the same price as before, just
for less....

We were sort of figuring this, were we not?

And don't get me going on Keurig, whose
product tastes no better but which has managed to
get people to spend 4 or more times the price for
the same coffee.

That's clearly a diabolical fad.... You won't catch me following it...
even if I /could/ drink coffee...

Both Lilli and Bonnie have Keurig machines, one
because she likes buying trendy junk, the other
because her daughter likes buying trendy junk,
And my friend with whom I had lunch the other day
used to actually work for Keurig but left because
she couldn't stand it.

It was a possibility, using Cream of Wheat. Might
also substitute frozen puff pastry for the phyllo.

Sounds interesting to me... :)

Someone will have to remind me and preferably buy the
ingredients, which will be sugar, honey, butter, nuts,
frozen pastry, eggs, rich milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and CoW.

This will be saved to my picnic file... Some of that will likely be on
hand at Haffly's....

I'll be sure to get a giant box of CoW to torment
them.

Perhaps not quite just a serendipity... he says he buys them in 40 pound bags, for his own consumption.... and doesn't mind sharing it with us,

Okay ... 40 lb bags, where can I get one. Where
could I store one?

Actually, apparently I misunderstood... he buys the white meat in 40 lb packages for the restaurant... the dark meat comes in 10 lb packages...
and when I enquired yesterday, turned out he didn't have any at the
moment...

So serendipity that other time after all.

since we prefer the dark meat (a proper Asian preference according to him)... ;) He normally makes things with white meat chicken as it is
what apparently is expected by most folk.... ;)

And preferred by some, apparently.

We know that some do prefer the white... unthinkable as that can be...

Funny thing was always that I had to think of
things to do with the white meat.

... For real sponge cake, borrow all ingredients.

We can make sponge galaktoboureko, then

snicker... ;)

... Where in the nursery rhyme does it say Humpty Dumpty is an egg?

Humpty Dumpty started out as a riddle, sort of
like the chicken that has no bone.

We were sort of figuring this, were we not?

We were indeed... note that I said that the surmise is proving to be correct..... sigh.... Now they call them "Share Size (formerly Original Size)".... And I noted that I could get a big bag of, say, the Special
Dark Miniatures at BJs for about 1/2 the price per pound as these new
little packages.... Guess that's what I'll be doing when the current
supply gets low enough to buy more... and there might even be a BJs
coupon to drop the price another $2 or so by then....

And don't get me going on Keurig, whose
product tastes no better but which has managed to
get people to spend 4 or more times the price for
the same coffee.

I realize that it does make a single cup more convenient to brew, and
that there are reusable versions as well, but still....

Apparently... We went there tonight (Richard got a sudden urge, coming
home from his walk this afternoon), asked about dark meat... he said
Thursday there would be some, he doesn't like to get too much,
especially for the 'slower" part of the week... one of these days,
though, I will try getting either the katsudon or the oyakidon with the
dark meat... :)

Funny thing was always that I had to think of

It's always the issue when we get a whole chicken, to figure out how to
use up all that white meat....

... Where in the nursery rhyme does it say Humpty Dumpty is an egg?

Humpty Dumpty started out as a riddle, sort of
like the chicken that has no bone.

I know... like so many other nursery rhymes.... :) that's just the way
the tag was when I snagged it... :) And, of course, all the illustrated
books show him as an egg.... :) (with human features, and arms and
legs... so clearly fanciful... [g])

ttyl neb

... Combining scallops and butter is basically never a bad idea.
