I didn't see people getting sick eating there. I said that I refused to eat
there. I saw the aftermath of a person who ate there. Not just the steak but
parts of the rest of the dinner and the giant cheesecake dessert and however
many beers and... I am not making this up and it wasn't pretty.

I have been with this person on other occasions where he saw some giant food
on the menu, ordered it and sickened himself. I do not mean barfing at the
table, but holding his belly, complaining, running to the bathroom, etc.

I also dislike dining at places that only serve giant portions of
everything. Thankfully here, most places do offer at least some things in
smaller portions. But not all do. And to have a giant plate of food sitting
in front of me isn't a pleasant thing to me. Which is why I try not to go to
such places. People will still encourage me to go and tell me that I can
just have a dinner salad or a baked potato. Yeah, sometimes I can. Sometimes
I can not.

Years ago, we went to a steak and seafood place that refused to serve me
individual items. They said I had to order a meal. So I did. And I did not
eat the steak. That did not go over well with the person who insisted that
we dine there. He knew that I ate neither steak nor seafood and still
insisted that we go. He was paying. I did order the smallest, least
expensive thing on the menu and he ate my steak as well as whatever he
ordered.

But... I also do not want to go to a restaurant and order only a salad
and/or baked potato. I can make both of those at home and for far cheaper
than I can get at a restaurant. So if I get invited to such a place, I will
try to beg off. I was rather stuck with the above example as we were out of
town and I had to eat something.

Julie, .67 for 2lbs pasta is .33 per lb now split that 6 portions.
5cents a portion.

Next up rice noodle is not ramen. Not even related. Among other things
it's made of rice. 1.57 gets you a 16pack at 10 cents each and each
feeds 3 normal people for a starch.

I agree with Dave. She was quite restrained and almost normal
when she returned. But she's slipped back into her old ways
again with replying to post after post after post after post.
She's like an alcoholic or drug addict that has returned from
treatment to only pick up the bottle or the needle again.

Barilla says that two oz. is a serving. Two oz. cooks up to about a cup. A
cup is a serving for a person who doesn't have diabetes. 1/2 is the diabetic
serving. That being said, I have NEVER seen a any kind of pasta for 33 cents
per pound. Let me check the Costco and Sam's prices.

Costco wants $17.79 for a 2 count pkg. of 10 pounds of pasta. So $17.79 for
20 pounds. That's 88 cents per pound.

Sam's wants $5.68 for 6 pounds. That's 94 cents per pound.

Cheapest thing at Safeway is $1.00 per pound. Rice noodles are more
expensive than any of those. So let me try Uwajimaya...

At Umajimaya, Rice Vermicelli is $1.49 for 300 grams. Rice sticks are $1.79
per pound. Those are the cheapest prices.

Pray tell where do you find ANY pasta for 33 cents a pound. Cuz it sure
isn't here.

I know that rice noodles are not Ramen. But Ramen is the cheapest noodle
that I've ever seen.

I'm sure, but I just get sick of all the bitching about her posts when all
they have to do is either ignore, or comment on the ones they find
interesting. I don't mind Julie's posts at all and would much rather read
her than those that go into attack mode over nearly everything she writes.
At any rate, easy enough to skip them when they get started too.

You can get bleached and unbleached. Bleached came about to make it appear

Next step is to shut up about the threads you don't read. The Lord
might want to teach you a bit more.

We don't eat steak often but when we do we like an adult portion.

I do have a fairly small appetite so that 'child' portion suits me just

Easy enough to skip if not wanting to read them and going on about them is
sort of over the top to me, I started skipping the FB account stuff with
you, sw, and Julie without commenting at the time, it wasn't hard. Julie is
an adult and she doesn't need people telling her when to post etc. Read her
or don't, the choice is yours.

Cheri

A good lesson some folk would do well to take on-board.

Of course some folk just want to whinge so they will never want to learn
that lesson. They just want to stamp their feet and scream because they are
not getting their own way.

Tough, the world does not revolved around them!

I have to agree abouat threads revolving around Julie, but I'm also
sick to death about seeing the threads about John and his house.
It's been done to death. Thank the Lord I've learned not read
threads like these at all.

Ignoring a tread though, you miss many things not related to
the original line of conversation. Thread-drift is common.
A few days later and people are discussing something completely
different. You both should know that.

Make it yourself from scratch, just the way you like it.
That's how you get to eat the "good stuff."

I make my own often and so much better that any bought kind.

A packet of ramen contains 3 ounces, so it comes to about the same
price as pasta.
When I make a pasta dish for the two of us I cook the entire pound but
it's enough for four portions, depending on accompaniments. The only
times I cook less than the entire pound is for soups, that's when I
weigh it so 8 ounces remains in the box for the next soup. And
several pastas are packaged at 12 ounces, egg noodles too, that's when
I buy 3 packages and I may weigh out 8 ounces for two portions... so
it suffices for three times. Weighing noodles is about the only use I
have for a kitchen scale, and only because I can be anal about
equalizing pasta... everything else I eyeball.
I usually buy Ronzoni, that's the brand that the market in town has 10
for $10 sales, but I don't need to buy ten for the sale price but I
usually do. Of late the one pasta shape that seems to have
disappeared from market shelves is alphabets, I like those for soups

You were the fool for accepting the invite. and I don't believe that
there wasn't something suitable on the menu to satisfy you... plus you
are the one with special dietary needs with no one to blame but
yourself... you shouldn't even be complaing, just prepare your own
meals and also STFU about it rather than make all your RUDE

Then why did you write this: "To see someone eating that and getting
sick while eating it is just not something pleasant to me." I'm pretty
sure English isn't your second language.

"Other occasions" suggests it has happened before. So why bother going
out to eat with him? Surely it's not for the sparkling conversation as
you watched him over eat.

Indeed, Sheldon! Heck, even the "club" offers menu options for people
who have specific dietary needs. I would expect a diabetic to know what
they should or shouldn't be eating. The club offers gluten free meals,
even though I doubt there are that many celiac sufferers who live here.
It is not the purveyor's responsibility to cater to every possible
health issue on the planet. She seems to have most of them. It's
really more about she doesn't *like* this or she doesn't *want* that.
In another thread she mentioned using up the last of some bean dip she
really likes. The obvious solution would be to buy (or make) more of
it. Doh!

This group is in about as parlous a state as I've ever seen...some of these posters must be awfully miserable and bored with life.

It wasn't an invite. We had gone to some places in another part of the state
and dinner time came around. There really weren't many restaurants in that
area as it was more of a camping/hiking place. This was many years ago and I
had no special dietary needs that I knew of. I just never liked seafood and
knew that steak didn't set well with my stomach so I wanted neither. Many
restaurants have a burger or sandwich or nachos or pasta or something like
that. This place didn't. It had a very limited menu.

But you? I don't think there's any excuse for you. You're just being nasty
again.

I wasn't a diabetic back then. I just didn't eat steak or seafood and those
were the only dinner choices. Most places will also let you get just side
dishes too. This place wouldn't. I guess they could get away with it since I
didn't see any other restaurants around there.

As for the bean dip, I didn't want to make another batch. I didn't have the
ingredients anyway. I was just sad that it was all gone. I can only eat the
same thing so many days in a row you know.

unbleached flour is bleached naturally as it ages. "

So, no chemicals. THAT is a big difference!

Turns out, my efforts to reduce glyphosates in my diet has not
resulted ina lotta weight loss, so far. I've increased my intake of
fruits and veggies, but have not entirely abandoned protein/meats.
Am I still winning?

Straw much?? ....reduced to using kids, no less.

Since you like straw, so much, chew on this:

"In late September 2008, the Hong Kong government found melamine in a
Chinese-made Nestlé milk product. Six infants died from kidney damage,
and a further 860 babies were hospitalised."

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nestlé#Food_safety>

Obviously, "fake news".

Let me quote the relevant sentence from that article:

"Bleached flour is treated with chemical agents to speed up aging,
while unbleached flour is bleached naturally as it ages."

Yes, "Technically all wheat flour is bleached" isn't really what
they're saying

I hope the link works this way; I c&ped it. Here's how it's written originally:

Exactly! I learned after the first delivery not to plan anything
important on "delivery day".

Years ago there was a major upset about Nestle pushing baby formula in
poverty stricken countries and things did not work out well. The stuff
was relatively expensive so some people thinned it out to make it go
further. Then there was the problem with the water they were using. I
guess that had overlooked the issue of contaminated water. I am not sure
how much that problem could be blamed on the formula, since the kids
would likely be exposed to contaminated water through bathing. I am sure
that it would get onto the nursing mother's breasts.
