I really couldn't have in NY. Too many wild animals to try to grow anything
outside and because our apartment backed up right into the woods, we didn't
get enough sunlight. I did try growing some things in my kitchen but no go.

It's not constant for me. I stopped buying produce there years ago.
They're not convenient for me to shop at and I learned my lesson after
having been burned the 2 or 3 times I did buy it there. I really have no
reason to go there now, ever.

I remember when I was a kid, my grandfather told me I would like chard
because I liked spinach... but that wasn't true. I didn't eat chard
again until I was well into my adulthood and now I like it. I love
red and rainbow chard. Rainbow is the most common around here, so I
guess it's universal for people to like.

Only really matters if you are following a raw diet. Because you can't
exceed 110 degrees with that. Some people won't even eat food at that high
of a temp.

No. *People* don't react to me that way. But a lot of people in NY react
to *all* people that way. Certainly not everyone in NY but many of them are
very rude. I also mentioned that particular store to a guy that I sometimes
talk to online and he said it was one of the worst. So it's not just me.

No. For starters she no longer likes it. But I gave up on trying to grow
anything here as well. Wild animals, slugs, inconsistent weather... I
tried for several years. One year I got bumper crops of everything. That
was our second summer here. But after that? The onions bolted, something
kept eating the cucumber plants, the tomatoes either rotted from too much
rain or just didn't taste any better than what I could get from the store.
And overall it was just too expensive. I will just buy as needed.

My friend lives closer to Sumner in a 100+ year old farm. She does quite
well with the gardening but she doesn't have to resort to Earthboxes. Their
weather is a bit different from ours too.

I have never checked the temps. I stick in 'whatever' and leave it till I
remember. I was watching a vid yesterday about making dried egg. She was
very insistent about the temps - 131f - 135f. I checked the temps on mine
and it goes up to 145f It has never occurred to me to check the temps with
a thermometer but the I don't suppose I dry anything that has to be so
exact.

A variation on a Missouri joke:

What's the differnce 'tween ****in' a sheep 'n ****in' a horse?
Ya don need no stepladder what to **** a sheep.
______________________________________________

Winter asked, "So when are we going to get to meet the little fellow?"

"He's your age and stands over six feet tall, and I don't know. I haven't seen him for right around a year."

Winter's eyes got big and she snorted, "Right around a year? Who are you, Jed Clampett?" Then she realized that there were similarities beyond Ian's Ozark heritage. "You know, Ann. The first time we met, Ian said, "Yer so purty, I'd liketa take you home 'n bend you over a sawhorse."

"No, he didn't."

Winter stayed with her Ozarks voice, "Well, he was a-thinkin it. See? I don't put much stock in that librarian business. I think he done made that up. Ian was a hillbilly 'fore he come inta that money." She tilted her head to the side, and lowered her right eyebrow, "Sure as shootin'."

In other words, you have no problem so you don't need to ever bring up
your opinion about their produce again.

What I am totally getting is you can't seem to find anything worthy of
eating, even when you're living in one of boroughs or NYC.

It's amazing, no matter where she lives, the worst example
of any store chain is the one near her. Even her Costco

If it/anything can't be found in NYC it simply doesn't exist... fact!

The only wild beasts in NYC that would attack veggies are two legged,
but they're gonna lift some from the produce section, probably those
in cans and bags of frozen. I've been growing veggies in NYS
surrounded by many thousands of forested acres and very few critters
make off with my crops, mostly insect, rodent, and bird nibbles...
which only proves they're good eating... I just plant some extra to
share is all and there's plenty for me. I'm convinced that there's
nothing anyone can mention to do that the Bove hasn't a lame excuse
why she can't.

For even better stuff that spinach into a calzone with ricotta, mozz,

Yeah, they do. You've told us so many times. I figure you repel people because your hatred of everything shows on your face and so does your FY attitude.

What BS about New York. And yes, of course, you talked to someone online and discussed this very store and they feel the same as you, uhhhhh huhhhhh. Isn't that always your line? "'I'm not the only one who thinks this" ?

She and her husband ate in a hotel in Walnut Creek, Ca for seven nights because they couldn't find a restaurant. Walnut Creek, Ca, for goodness sake!!! Walnut Creek, Ca (as you know, sf) is one of the premier shopping, restaurant cities in California. And they couldn't find a place to eat!!!

While I do read some online reviews I don't base my shopping choices on
them. You can usually tell the crazies from people with honest
complaints. Most of it is bullshit. Like the mad sweeper who was
wearing a turban and therefore must have been out to get her. Yeah,
right. Why would he want to do that?! No reason. At all.

You are beating a dead horse. She used to get me really, really upset
with her willingness to publicly dump on a company's reputation.
Several times I suggested that she should complain to the company that
did her wrong. She refused. She doesn't care what she potentially
does to the lively hood or reputation of others. She doesn't care
about the bad impression she creates about those from the US or our
country. You must realize that she is totally self oriented in her
need to be special beyond anyone here and perhaps elsewhere. I
just read her for entertainment and figure it is good for my self
control to avoid the kind of responses I want to make.

Yeah, the Secret Society of Seekers of Misery. Must be

Exhausting and a drag is right. There's so much more good in life that she can't see.

It's amazing how something with so much potential for a nasty taste can
be so good cooked with other things. We had dinner at a friend's place
a while back and she had cooked chicken breasts stuffed with cream
cheese and Swiss chard. She said the recipe actually called for goat
cheese. I tried to recreate it at home but used spinach and garlic. I
had thought it would be good with feta but had none on hand at the time.
Spinach and feta is great in Spanakopita. I have also had cheese and
spinach on a frozen pizza. It was very good.

Damn, looks like it's just not possible to grow veggies where you are
then. Maybe foraging is more suitable there.

You are right, Janet B. It is a good exercise in self-control. On occasion, I just can't resist ))) and when I have a day or two to post and read responses, well, I'm off and running. It is entertaining, though.

But... he was wearing a turban. Isn't that enough for you??

She does have the propensity to mention ethnicity from time to time,
which never seems to be relevant to whatever it is she is complaining
about at the time. Yesterday or the day before, it was an Asian woman.
Another was in one of those Bodega cat threads (I think), she was
whining about how unsanitary a store was, and it was apparently
important to mention their race.

Hey, I like that idea. I might sub the cream cheese for camembert
though.

BS about NY? It's BS that I don't like it? Or any big city? So!? I'm not
a city person. Not everyone is. Doesn't make it BS. And if you want to
look up that store, you can see the online reviews. They're not good. It's
the Pathmark on Hylan Blvd. by the K Mart.

That's not true at all. If Italian food is what you are after, that is
plentiful there. But that's not usually what I was after so I shopped
elsewhere. If you've never been to the Ft. Wadsworth area of Staten Island,
them you should just stay out of it. NYC is not designed for drivers. I'm
disabled. I can't take buses or walk far.
