I had no choice the 2nd time. I was at a restaurant and none of the food on
the menu sounded good. So I opted for those and a salad.

No need to make my own as nobody in this house likes BBQ sauce.

No, not banned in Missouri. Most public places are smoke-free, but
apparently not bars. Well... I shouldn't say that because I don't know
about any other bars. We hesitated going to this place because it has a
kind of rough appearance, but it's always crowded and does a huge lunch
business.

No, I'm not a huge fan of take-out. I know this is going to come out
sounding like I'm a real fussbudget, but I don't want food that's been
sitting in styrofoam (or whatever the packaging is). Ham/cheeseburgers
get soggy and I can't eat that. The exception to that is Chinese food.

Agree on that although here, Styrofoam is banned. Some places still use it
though. I don't mind getting it at Burgermaster only because it is so close
to home. Everything is packaged in paper and we can get it here while it is
still hot.

When Taco Time came out with bean tacos, we got those and by the time we got
them home, they were inedible. The beans had made the shells all soggy.
Those things need to be eaten immediately!

Hmmm... I think WA was one of the first places to make a lot of places no
smoking. Wasn't even a law back then and I smoked and I hated it! We'd
walk out of places if they didn't allow it.

Smoking was allowed in most places when we were in MA so imagine my surprise
when it wasn't allowed anywhere in CA, or NY and by the time we moved back
here, here! Not sure about PA. Last time we were there you could smoke
some places.

You don't see too many smokers here at all any more. When they do smoke it
is usually in their vehicles. I do know a few younger people who smoke.
But everyone my age or older that I know has quit, if they even smoked to
begin with.

A very high percentage of bar goers in Pa smoke. Banned ? Pa gets about a
billion dollars a year in smoke tax. You can't smoke in restaurants, or
bars that sell a lot of food. I've been in bars that have over 80 %
smokers. Some nearly 100 % .

BBQ sauce can be anything used on BBQ meat. BBQ beans could be anything
used eating along with BBQ meat ?? To make real BBQ baked beans need tray
in smoker.

One BBQ sauce I use is vinegar with pepper spices, Scotts. Another BBQ
sauce I use is a bit like yellow mustard, and it is yellow. Pa Gold.
Another like I make, also used in a bunch of places here, is a red spicy
blend, not sweet at all.

Mcdonalds used no styrofoam or soggy making aluminum foil, ever, that I can
remember.

I've seen plastic looking containers that are really a food product that
breaks down over time. We had them in a cafeteria.

I think the McLean came in Styrofoam. Burger on one side, veggies on the
other.

I like fresh air. Just not sunshine. The next few days will be torture.

Unfortunately, when you have food intolerances and digestive problems
like she has, plus diabetes - there's not much left to eat. IMO, it's
a self-protective mechanism she uses to not feel like she's missing
out... remember the old "You don't like me? Well, I don't like you
more" routine? Fortunately, she can eat beans (one of my favorites
too). I couldn't cook for her though because I like "stuff" with my
beans and most of it would be off her list too. She's one of those
people where you wouldn't be offended if she arrived at a party with
her own food, because there's such a limited amount she can eat
without repercussions.

And I do, do that. Although I usually will bring a lot of whatever I am
bringing so everyone can share. Because people are usually interested in my
food.

Alas, here, I don't know too many people that cook so they don't have food
type parties. When we get together, we go to a restaurant.

When I lived in military housing, we had a lot of dinner parties and some
block parties which were sort of potlucks. In some cases, the meat and BBQs
were provided and we brought whatever sides that we wanted. But in a few
cases, all of the food was provided. In those cases, there was always
something I could eat as they had lots of raw veggies.

As for the sandwiches (different thread), they are not something I grew up
eating a lot of. I know most people did. But my mom considered bread to be
poison. Not really sure why this is except that she has arthritis and for
her, wheat and nightshades cause pain. She did make biscuits and cornbread
on occasion but we didn't eat much sliced bread. My dad did take sandwiches
to work but my bro and I rarely had them for lunch. My mom was big on hot
food so we often had soup.

It's not bad at all, except for the current medical stuff. We don't all
have to like the same things. I expect that you wouldn't want to watch a
dance show. Most men don't. You probably also wouldn't like going to a cat
show, rock show, bead shop, craft store. But I like all of these things.

Our Walmart has a little turban wearing man who wields a huge broom. I
swear that he seeks me out. Three times I have been there and he has come
at me with the broom, moving at a rapid clip. I run to the next aisle to
get away from him and he comes at me again! I have even tried going to a
different part of the store and there he is again.

That's probably because the smokers have driven out those who've come to

Yep. A friend's brother was a hoarder, and I helped them get rid of a few
items so that the brother could use his stove and the bathtub. He had
been saving the McD's styrofoam clamshells from his meals "to store
small parts."

Since then they switched to cardboard. But back then they thought the
clamshells would retain the heat.

I used to save Tic Tac boxes for my seed beads. This after I had them in
one of those hardware organizers with little drawers. I dropped it. You
can imagine the mess that I had!

These days you can get all sorts of little boxes and containers. But if
they were available back then (1970's), I didn't know about it! Altough for
a time you could get seed beads in little glass tubes with corks in them.
Those were nice! But probably expensive to produce.

My dad repurposed baby food jars for nails, screws, etc. He nailed the lids
to the top of the cabinet above his work bench. When you needed the
contents, you unscrewed the jar.

Same here, Ophelia. There are a few restaurants in my area that have
outdoor dining spaces where smoking is allowed.

In the 1980's I worked for a subsidiary of Prudential. When they
redecorated the office they coordinated everything in shades of burgundy
and teal. Everyone got new desk sets. Paper trays, pencil holders.
And matching ash trays. Those days are long gone. LOL

I've been working with seed beads since the early 1970's. I bought my
bead boxes in the fishing tackle department of K-Mart. They are made
for flies and fish hooks and have covers that snap closed.

Around the late 1990's, when beading became more popular, they came out
with some pretty good storage ideas.

The town closest to us, where we shop and eat out, has a non-smoking
ordinance for restaurants and public places like the bowling alley.
They are about to pass a new law which will ban smoking in bars and at
private clubs that open to the public, like the Elk's Club.

I told DH that if the Elk's Club went non-smoking (even their
non-smoking area stinks) I could go play bingo there. He said that
after so many years of smoking in a building, the walls ooze the odor.
I think he's probably right.

Not surprising I suspect when people get used to the non smoking edict
they won't be happy with a stinking hall and they will have to clean them
up.

I'm the crazy driver-lady in the electric shopping cart. I have gotten
better at it and have only killed and maimed three people on my last
outing. ;-)

They use peanut oil for frying turkeys, silly. Those fryers are very
big and require a gallon or so of oil.

You can buy turkey fryer peanut oil at Lowe's, typically in 3 gal
jugs. WallyWorld sells 1 gal jugs of peanut oil, year round fer about
$13. Good deal. It's what I use.
