I don't find the cleaning to be that onerous. I usually have
a dish pan of hot soapy water around when I cook. I just briefly
swish the various pieces through the water and then rinse and stack
in the drainer to dry. Next day I put them back on the processor.

Do those count as gadgets? But yes, I do not like them at all. In the
early days, there seemed to be a pretty high failure rate. Some cans
spoiled prematurely, due apparently to leakage at the stamped thin metal
line where it is supposed to tear open. They are probably fine now, but
I will never like them. I own a can opener.

And I thank Bob for apologizing. I'm not the total ass he seems to think I
am; I don't know why he keeps attacking me. I'm donating my parents
clothing to local thrift shops (there's a Franciscan Center not far from
where I am and a Salvation Army shop in Beaufort). I simply didn't think
anyone would want this old mandoline. Sorry Nancy beat you to it! When she
gets it she may be sorry if Ron cuts off his fingers

That's right. That's why the results of my "cooking" are called garbage.

<snip>

My grandmother, God rest her, gave me a huge set of Club Aluminum pots
and pans as a wedding gift. Why is it that the stuff you can't stand
the most is the stuff that lasts the longest? I mean, I couldn't kill
those pots and pans with a blowtorch and an axe, which meant I
couldn't justify replacing them. And my old avocado side-by-side
refrigerator had the shelf life of f*cking kryptonite.

My parents, OTOH, had the Dining Room Table From Hell, which was a
hugely ugly dining room table they bought uber-cheap in Germany when
Dad was flying in the Berlin Airlift. The dear aulde dad was career
(US) Air Force, so we moved every 2 - 4 years. The movers eventually
dinged, bashed, scratched and broke just about everything we owned
(military motto: every 4 moves is like a fire where your personal
possessions are concerned), but the DRTFH came through every single
move without a scratch. When they moved to their last duty station at
Tinker AFB in Oklahoma City, the DRTFH came off the truck again in
pristine condition. Dad took one look at it and threw the table across
the garage, breaking 2 legs and drop leaf. He looked at my mother (and
my sibs and me, who were standing their with our jaws on the floor),
grinned and said, "Well, Sugar, looks like we need a new dinner
table."

I always thought of that table as a furniture version of "The Picture
of Dorian Gray," wherein it stayed in perfect shape, but was a curse
on all the other furniture.

I have a Matfer "Professional" mandolin that has all the blades for
fries and garnishes and whatnot. I rarely use it since I bought an
small OXO hand mandolin. The "business end" is only about 8" long and
4" wide, but is just perfect for knocking off a few potatoes for au
gratin or apples or pears for pies or cobbler. I just use the Matfer
these days for the rare occasion that I want to do julienne veggies or
the like.

I happen to be a world class dishwasher (laugh) from years of
experience, but there are things I cannot stand washing. Only
a couple of things. Can't stand washing Tupperware type stuff,
oh happy day when someone told me they could go into the
dishwasher. The other is the food processor. I take it out for
big jobs, but otherwise give me a knife or my stick blender or
my grater and I am good.

It's just me. I've washed it plenty of times and I know what
it entails and I just can't be bothered.

Ya know, Jill, I was hoping that you'd wait until Friday to have your Weekly
Meltdown Just so you know, I'm kinda busy today and in future I request
that you schedule your WM's in the late Thursday -> Friday -> Weekend time
frame...that'd work out *much* better for me.

I have the cheap plastic Farberware mandolin. It's not much, but so far
it has saved me from craving one of the expensive ones.

The price posted on the shelf at WalMart was $7.50. After about half an
hour (I guess) waiting in the checkout line the register rang it up as
$10.something. While I waited, the customer service kid checked the
shelf and refunded the difference. But I wasn't happy, so I waited a
while longer for a higher level person, who pointed out to me and the
kid the sign posted right there on the register saying that I should get
an extra $3.00 for my trouble. So, in the end I paid $4.50, plus sales
tax of course.

Counting all the money I saved, I made less per hour than a WalMart
employee.

Well, since you are (appropriately, I guess) playing the IGNORANT card, try
using Google Groups and the phrase "jill wrote". I only bothered going back
to last month, but of course you've been posting stupidly for much longer
than that.

In late January, you took a humorous comment of mine to Damsel and blew it
WAY out of proportion in the thread "Ping Bob Terwilliger and Greg Morrow".

In that same thread you had the bad grace to bring up some issue with a gift
card and Lou. You also bragged that you had been e-mailing Damsel privately,
so other people were "out of the loop" -- then you went on to attack Damsel
a few days later!

You tried to use your grief over your parents as a BLUDGEON to get others to
sympathize with you rather than react with natural revulsion toward your
actions.

You had the bad manners to post about money you gave to Damsel, then accused
Damsel of fabricating stories about her bad luck in the hopes of getting
more money.

When I posted a gingerbread recipe from one of the most highly-regarded
cookbook authors in the world, you derided the recipe -- without ever having
tried it -- and then mounted a personal attack on me. You even went on to
say it was STUPID for a gingerbread recipe to contain mustard and coffee --
again, speaking from a position of COMPLETE IGNORANCE. It must have
*infuriated* you when Damsel actually MADE the gingerbread and pronounced it
delicious!

You came up with your "Kitty" sockpuppet to defend you (in what I think is a
fairly transparent and ludicrous way).

In the "This is why you're fat" thread posted by Lin, you cast doubt on the
veracity of the site, saying that many of the photos on the site were
"questionable." When asked several times why you made that statement, you
went on the offensive, accusing me of believing everything I see on TV, but
you never gave one single bit of support for your statement.

....and those are SOME of the reasons I have been posting negatively about
you. If you don't want people to post like that, then STOP BEING SUCH A
STUPID BITCH!

Jilly, don't pay any attention to what this person writes. You know that I
am not a sock puppet, and that is all that matters to me. I think it is
criminial the way he talks to you, like with the pastueurized egg thing.

The gift card thing came up almost a year after I posted about it.
She remembered that but forgot about the pasteurized egg debate.
Seems pretty weird to me.
