Oh bull! There are other reasons why we should not soak. And I do have
neuropathy. Don't give me medical advice.

Thanks for that. I was just curious. Your stockpile is large but
doesn't sound too excessive for a family of three. Lots of things in
there though. It must keep you busy checking dates and/or rotating
stock. I could go about a month with what I have. Might not all be
what I want but it would be food to survive like in a hurricane
aftermath situation.

I should really curtail my shopping and try to eat up all that I have,
just to use up the old things. My grocery bill would be very small for
several weeks.

Here's a tip for you and others here. Always keep a supply of cash in
small bills in case of weather problems. We had a hurricane 'close
pass' about 15 years ago. Electricity here was off for many days. Even
without electricity, many stores would open for a few hours each day
using their generators. All were cash only though. I had plenty of
money in the bank but couldn't access it. I learned a valuable lesson
that week and I always keep a small stash now.

Sure; like you "know" Latin, because your dad studied it in school.

Why can't Angela with the same Italian name, fly like an angel, cook,
make pasta and speak Italian?

We lived in Hampton during that one. We had a whole house generator
and loaned our small one to two neighbors. By running it in 12 hour
shifts and not opening them frequently they were both able to keep
their frozen foods frozen.

It isn't necessary to cook more dry pasta than is needed for a meal.
You simply put the unused portion away for another meal. The above
sounds exactly like you are saying that one package of Costco pasta is
more than your family is able to eat at one time therefore you can't
use it. That is exactly why I replied as I did the first time.

We're doing that right now. Found a few things hidden in the back so it
is time to go through and clear out.

As for cash, you never know when you'll need it and can't get it easily.
People would trust me though, I have an honest face!

There has been a controversy for many years about the relative
importance of nature and nurture. One way or another, that poor kid is
sunk.

The cooking instructions for pasta are usually written on the package
and they generally require a certain amount of salted water to be
brought to a boil and then dump in the whole package. Some people don't
realize that you can cook less than that whole box.

Julie is very literal in a black & white fashion. Buy a pound of dry
pasta, and of course you need to cook all of it at once.

You did some time back and honestly I need to do some of those, almost a

And I'd use manteca instead of beef tallow, you?

Only Julie needs everything to be spelled out. I try to buy only
enough *fresh* food for 3 days... which means meat and vegetables
(just so Julie can understand). I have a stockpile (no pantry) of
dried and canned goods, just like everyone else - so no need to buy
anything specific unless I'm replenishing or it's out of the ordinary.

Notice how bove said she was told to soak her feet with specific
proportions? Then she goes on to say "there are other reasons why we
should not soak"? Dang, bove cannot keep her 'stories' straight! Is it
no wonder why so many folks question anything bove says?

Yet, bove readily promotes quack health advice and other so-called
remedies and more-than-questionable web-links and their sources! After
all, bove consults pet-psychics to allegedly discover a raccoon
allegedly abducted her missing cat! Yeah, that's bove's story and she
believes it! Go figure.

Bove apparently is unable to follow well-proven and best-intentioned
suggestions. Allegedly, bove does not request any advice, although the
opposite is implied whenever she posts anything! After all, it seems
bove prefers confrontation and and promotes aggravation. Such a sad and
sorry way to live.

LOL! Perhaps bove should become a stand-up comedienne! It's all to

You should try to understand how much more work it is for Julie to shop
that for the rest of us. When she goes out and gets fresh meat she is
then faced with all the work involved in cooking and freezing it to be
re-heated later one.

Me too. I have a number of things that I consider to be non perishable
staples, like canned salmon and tuna, passada, various condiments,
flour, sugar, tapioca, and cereals. Then there are the perishable
staples, like eggs, butter, milk and cream. Next are the relatively non
perisable fruits and vegetables, like carrots, onions and potatoes.
Then there are the more perishable fruits and vegetables.
Meats can be frozen, but I like to get fresh fish at least once a week.

Yes, it is not the first time that she has been caught in a lie.
Apparently there are a few dullards here who think that pointing out

Not really. I try to eat the stuff down to next to nothing, then restock.
I begin my restocking in Sept. so I will for sure check the dates then. I
did go to Big Lots yesterday and stocked up on little cans but they had no
corn. So I know those will be good for awhile.

I kept far less food when I was single. Everywhere I lived in those days
was within walking distance of a store. And I wasn't disabled. So if I did
get snowed in, I could still get out if I had to. But I also lived on or
near roads that were plowed. So even if we got a lot of snow, I knew I
would be plowed out in a day or two. That is not the case here. No plows.

Also, even though I am a picky eater, I wouldn't whine and complain if I did
have to eat the same things three days in a row. I would just be thankful
for the food.

OMG! Just STFU you freaking idiot! How in the world could I possibly know
how much pasta another person will eat? My psychic powers are not that
good. At some point in time there will be leftovers!

You don't know how to read at all. Do you? My reply was to sf who said
that she only buys food for three days at a time. The freaking pasta was
just an example. I was trying to point out that if you buy some things at
Costco like I do, you'll have to buy more than you can eat in three days
unless you have a really huge family or are cooking for a crowd.

There is no pasta problem in this house. None. Never was.

I did however have to get a new Rachael Ray pasta pot as the protective
piece on one handle cracked off. And yes, I know I could have used a pot
holder but I felt it was time for a new one. This one is yellow. Yellow!
Squee!

Now... Are you going to drum up any more problems that aren't even problems
for me?

OMFG! Do any of you who are replying to this even BUY pasta at Costco? And
yes, I know that they sell different types and varieties of pasta. What I
buy comes with 6 packages, wrapped together in plastic. 2 each of three
types of pasta. Each package is 6 servings. Now math is not my strong
point. But I think I am buying 36 servings of pasta at once. I have no
choice but to buy it that way as that is how they sell it. It is no problem
for me. NO PROBLEM! But it is more food than we can eat in three days.

Which was my whole point to begin with. Restricting yourself to buying only
three day's worth of food makes no sense to me with something like this. I
could buy one package of the same pasta at Central Market as that is the
only place that sells this brand. One package may still be more than we'd
eat in three days but... I'd be paying far more per package to buy it this
way. And of course if we were a family who rarely ate pasta, this might
make sense. However, I know that we'll eat all 6 packages before they go
bad. So...

Grrr... I'm going to go set up my new patio umbrella then make chili and
corn muffins.

That's not what you said sf. I had a lady tell me that They she buys food
for two weeks at a time. And that is exactly what she meant. Milk and
bread went in the freezer. If they ran out of something? Oh well. They
just wouldn't have it. This came up in reference to my running to the store
almost daily to shop for my MIL. The woman who did every two week shopping
was the list maker. And I certainly know of others who do the same.

If you meant fresh food, why didn't you say that? Never assume.

For crying in the beer! I did that one time. Once. Only because I was
falsely told that it was really good meat. It wasn't. I wouldn't normally
buy that much meat at once no matter how cheap. But I trusted the person
who told me how good it was. Only after the fact did I realize that this
person doesn't even cook. She had gone out and bought tons of the stuff to
give away to people, thinking it was some sort of hideous mistake on
someone's part to be selling it for that cheap. No. It was just bad, cheap
meat. Still available for that price and I feel sorry for those who have to
eat it.

I don't buy a lot of meat. What I do buy is not usually cheap. If I get it
on sale, great. If not, oh well. I usually buy organic, grass fed. The
meat that I mentioned above was not.

He's been off his oats since he retired from the chicken coop and can't

I think your thyroid problem is acting up; certainly you are too old
for PMS. I do buy all my pasta at Costco. If you'll go back and read
my original reply there was never any need for you to fly off the
handle. I didn't criticize you or make fun of you. I made a post
just as I would have for anyone in this group. I suggest it is time
for you to stop digging that hole. Don't bother with another round of
hysterics unless you are entertained by reading them yourself.

Holly Moley Batman...those pots are $80.00 up here. That'll be the day I would pay that much for a genuine "RACHAEL RAY" pasta pot. You must be rollin' in dough.

Well, lets see, you've been living with them for almost two decades.
By now you should have a pretty good idea of what quantities they will
eat and how much to cook.
