Bali (cat) used to get into the can and I suspect that Jetta would do the same if given the chance. Both of those cats were constantly on the lookout for food and would eat pretty much anything. I actually kind of cringe when I think of a trash can under the sink. We had neighbors when I was growing up who did that. The can was so small that it constantly needed emptied. No plastic bags in those days either. My parent's house had enough room alongside their stove to put the trash can and the mop and broom. But the recycle bin sat out in the open by the microwave. My dining room is very small, smack in the middle of the house and only one wall, at the back of it. We have a table in there that seats 4 but there is no extra room for serving pieces. Also Angela's small, old school desk. It has adjustable legs so it's tall enough for an adult but it is a real school desk so the top is small. Also a small computer chair and a shelving unit that holds my Crock-Pots, extra lunch bags and large things that won't fit in the kitchen like bags of chips and boxes of cereal. No room for any bins in there. |

Aluminum soda cans > > don't get flattened here, there's a 5� deposit on those. Exactly, Sheldon. We have the 5 cent (where did the "cents" symbol ever disappear to?) deposit here, as well. I rinse the cans thoroughly and put them in a plastic grocery sack. When that is full I haul it out to the garage, where the cans are put into cardboard flats. When I get about 40 dollars worth, I schlep them across town to the redemption center. Easy as pie. There's just no excuse for her laziness. I don't recycle. I just like being a curmudgeon about it. But 40 bucks is 40 bucks, and for that I will put in an effort, lol. |

My favorite post of hers was when she said that one time she was in the hospital and someone brought her a burrito. She was eating it, and realized it had chicken in it, and she SCREAMED AND SPIT IT OUT. I know 3 year old toddlers that would not behave in such an atrocious manner. Of course, she denied it later on. lmao |

The newsfroup is called rec.food.COOKING.....cooking means preparing food. |

In all seriousness, I have been reading RFC since about the year 2000, and I have never, EVER seen anyone take a dislike to Nancy Young. That speaks volumes to your ****tish attitude. |

Nonsense. I am just waiting for my CSA package to come now. I'm getting ground beef in it to make chili. Will also make corn muffins from a mix that I want to use up. If things go as planned, I will make the Man Pleasing chicken on Tues. Probably with roasted potatoes. And there will be green beans coming soon. There will be extra of both of those. Daughter won't eat chili so she can have baked beans from a can. And probably some chicken broth because she isn't feeling well. I made coleslaw earlier and served that with pretty much everything left in the fridge except for stuff like produce, cheese and condiments. There were only little dabs of things left. In some cases they only got perhaps three bites of something. But they each had a whole piece of chicken parm. without the red sauce and a bowl of slaw. If I need to make something later in the week, it will be a combination of fish sticks and some honey battered chicken that I got on clearance at Target. Also whatever frozen potato product in is the freezer. I need to clear out the old stuff. And there is stuff to make turkey sandwiches. And I have plenty of canned soup. Next week I will make a pot of vegetable soup and put in the navy beans that are in the freezer. They are not cooked, but soaked and drained. I will also bake that last loaf of white bread. No need to keep it around now that I have bread flour and a bread keeper. I also need to use up a kielbasa soon and some pieoriges and squash ravioli that is in the freezer. Not sure what else beyond that as I will have to wait and see what is in the CSA listing. I don't work. Better still, I don't usually prepare meals at mealtime, thanks to my husband's crazy schedule. Unless I know that we will all be here at meal time, I can make things when it is convenient to me for reheating. :) Before I was married, I spent many a night doing nothing but cooking for the freezer. I wasn't home often so when I was home for the night with nothing better to do, that's what I did. I had plenty of stuff for breakfast, to take to work and I often baked or made candy to share at work or to sell. I had a lot of people request that I make things for them. |

My favorite post of hers was when she said that one time she was in the hospital and someone brought her a burrito. She was eating it, and realized it had chicken in it, and she SCREAMED AND SPIT IT OUT. I know 3 year old toddlers that would not behave in such an atrocious manner. Of course, she denied it later on. lmao === I was in labor at the time. And it wasn't *someone* who brought it to me. It was my mom. Wouldn't you think that your mom would know what you liked to eat? I was 39 at the time and had gone to many a Mexican food meal with her. The only things I ever ordered were bean burritos, bean enchiladas or cheese enchiladas or a salad with beans. I was a VEGETARIAN! I was just rather ****ed off after all those years that she still didn't realize that I hated and never ate chicken. Chicken was one of the things that my *brother* ordered. And no, I didn't deny it at all. I did spit it out and I wouldn't eat it. She didn't even bother to get me the whole meal with beans and rice. Had she done that I could have at least eaten the beans and rice and yes, those were vegetarian at that restaurant. This was on Cape Cod where Mexican food is hardly authentic and I well knew the place where she got the burrito from. What you are probably thinking of was that prior to her bringing me the burrito, I spit mashed potatoes at *her*! I didn't even mean to do it. The hospital had sent me up some kind of lunch that I wouldn't eat because it wasn't vegetarian but my mom figured I could at least eat the potatoes. That's when I discovered that not only were they some kind of cheap instant, but they had no seasoning in them at all. I had not wanted to eat them but my mom shoved a big spoonful of them in my mouth with no warning. I wasn't expecting her to do that and they were so vile, that was my reaction. I wasn't feeling at all well at that point in time, having just been induced and I went immediately into labor but did not know it. The procedure they did which was some kind of gel was supposed to take at least 48 hours until labor would begin. My mom tried to warn the Dr. that her side of the family went into labor very quickly and indeed that was what happened to me. I thought I just had really bad gas and kept warning people that it would be bad. Nope! Was not gas. |

Killfiles are for babies and those that use them often respond to a killfiled person through a response from some other person. You've done it. Just accept everyone and read all like I do. G. |

As it stands now Julie contributes far FAR more to this Newsgroup than you. Actually I've never seen anything worthwhile posted by you... you're like a tin can with a pebble, you make noise but you're worthless. At least Julie in her own way is entertaining, you are tearfully boring. ;-) |

Better to just filter than out that to be exposed to their obnoxious behaviour and or idiocy. I sometimes wonder if some people aren't assuming aliases that will slip through filters in order that their other self is seen, and to give themselves a pat on the back, and to provide a bizarre form of validation. You won't be the first one who ended up filtered for echoing the idiocy. |
