More to the point is why cloud the issue with India? It's not Indian
food.

Let's see; she has no job, her husband works away, she has one teen child
in school.

Seems to me Julie has at least 6 hours per day, 5 days a week when she
could be alone in the house cooking with no family interruptions.

That is my point! I'm countering misinformation that was provided
upstream. You suggest I should not, but then you counter it as well.

The misinformation derives from you, and others, not editing/snipping

What?!? Misinformation was stated; I corrected. That isn't an

You have the freedom to choose whom you converse with. If you want
nonsensical exchanges like this, seek out BongBlot or Sh-sh-sh-shelley

What would Julie cook? She seems to have problems with just about every
food. ;o

Seriously...with all her issues, she must have a hard time deciding what to
eat. Not picking on you, Julie but you sound like a very high-maintenence
person to feed.

I'm not your honey and I don't need you talking nastily to me. I am very
organized. In fact I planned to buy dinner that day. Maybe you like to
cook every day. I do not.

I had planed to buy prepared food that day. That was a day when my daughter
had one dance class right at dinner time. It is too early to eat prior to
the class. And on a normal day I could come home and cook. But this wasn't
a normal day. We had a number of stops to make after class. That combined
with the diet she is on meant that I wasn't going to cook.

My daughter danced 5 days a week. I have to plan her meals for her. She is
on the South Beach diet now and has gotten to the point where she is eating
more normal meals. She wasn't eating normal meals then. It was mainly
protein and salads. So no reason for me to cook. Besides, we wanted the
food from that store. They normally have very good food.

For the past several weeks I have been eating mostly pita or Greek flat
bread, hummus and raw veggies. No need to cook that. I made quiches for my
daughter and husband. She has mostly been eating salads, lettuce wraps, raw
veggies and cheese. I did cook steak once and pasta once. Other than that
due to the diet she has been on, there has been no need to cook.

It's really pathetic that these judgemental dunces have you justifying
why you aren't them.

I also don't have time to cook everyday, because I'm spending that time
doing other things that I enjoy more. I know it sounds impossible--but
it's true!

Most people don't cook every day! My parents go out to eat most of the
time. They're retired. So they're not even busy. Sometimes people just
want to do that!

I agree with you, Julie. I don't go out to eat much but I like eating
leftovers (when I cook big amounts on weekends). I still eat many frozen
dinners too....at least they make decent ones now.

Don't even try to make believe that you're organized or that you ever
cook. You only talk about cooking in the past and it's probably a
pipe dream. As far as organization goes, if you have "no time" to do
something as simple as making a meal - then you're unorganized.

Oh BS! We just went through the kitchen. Got rid of everything old. Food,
pans, dishes, whatever we never use any more. Restocked all of the food
based on my daughter's new diet. Yes, I haven't cooked much in the past few
weeks. I did make pasta twice and also some steaks and the quiches. I
posted about those things.

The diet my daughter is on right now doesn't need to involve cooked foods.
She is eating a lot of raw veggies and has just added raw fruit. She also
eats cheese and beans which I buy canned. Yes, I could cook them. But I
got some very good deals on canned beans making them even cheaper than the
dry beans. Plus I really see no reason most of the time to cook up a pot of
beans. She's not eating things that need to be cooked. And I don't *need*
to eat cooked foods. I am not a big meat eater. And the diet I am eating
is not the same one she is eating. I'm fine with eating hummus and pita and
raw veggies for a few weeks. My breakfast never varies. It's toast. And
assorted seeds. No need to cook that.

Maybe I got the brand wrong. Maybe it was the Appian (sp?) Way? It was a

But moments ago, you wrote " it's preferable to have fresh food"..

" I am up most nights until 2 or 3 a.m. I
sleep during the day. And yes I know I can cook at night and I sometimes
do. But it is preferable to have fresh food."

Are you talking about as a teenager, maybe your daughter's age, when
I'd never eaten pizza before and had nothing to compare it too? That
was the only choice if I wanted pizza and teenagers are always hungry.
When I moved to an area that had real pizza restaurants my choice was
not to make that crap anymore.
