Hey, Wayne, I think we found one of those people. Grab a bag of
chips for their contribution.

I like yogurt. Often will buy a pint of vanilla yogurt.
Sometimes, I'll mix in some crunchy top shelf cereal.
I once made some tiny lemon pies by using up some pie crust to
bake shells in a cupcake pan. Then I spooned in the lemon yogurt.
They were quite tasty.

That's a pity. I am lucky to live within a mile of several small peach
farms. Yesterday when my wife and I rode out bicycles over to the corner
coffee shop there was a young girl selling freshly picked peaches from
their orchard. They were juicy and delicious. It is a real treat to be
able to eat peaches that were picked at their prime and not to have
over ripened and rotting bits in them.

Flavoured yogurt is basically a pudding. It is flavoured and sweetened.
I find it a little hard to enjoy on its own, though many people eat it
that way. I usually have it with fruit or a tiny drizzle of honey.

But all you do is sit at a desk, its not real work.

I've heard that from blue collar workers my entire working career as an
office worker, most in management. Sure, it is more physical loading a
truck but it is not possible to have, let alone do that job unless a
series of paperwork was done. In a well run business, every job is
needed for the company to run. You can be a great machinist making a
product but unless the office worker bills it and does payroll. . .

Peaches like that are a crap shoot. I've hat them ripen and be
fantastic, but I've had mealy disappointments too. Local peaches this
year have not been so good but I'm going to check them out today at the
Farmer's Market.

If I get good ones I may make peach ice cream.

The amazing thing about being a blue collar worker is that you
get to leave the damned job at the job. I found myself
noodling around a programming problem while I was at home
last night.

Fella at work says he's going to be a Walmart greeter after
he retires. He'll never lay away at night wondering
"Should I have said 'Welcome to Walmart' just a bit
differently to that guy?"

I know a few retired people from positions with responsibility that now
work at no stress jobs. The guy that drops off the payroll, the guy
picking up the bank deposit, another that dropped off customers at their
work while car was being serviced.

I worked five years past retirement age and left when it was not fun any
more. No intention of going back to any sort of work. I have enough to
do at home and I've not set the alarm clock since retiring too.

I started out digging ditches, literally. I ended up a "carpet
commando" in Silicon Valley. Did I do "real work" on that Silicon
Valley bird-killing-glass-windowed 2nd floor? Yer damn straight I
did!! (the stories I can tell!)

Anyone sitting at a desk can do real work and usually does. Do they
always? No. I learned stuff on my new computer and made some perato
charts. They were data gleaned from a high frequency matching network
--which I once operated-- but could have easily been the distance my
paper boy hadda toss the paper, every morning. They stayed posted fer
nearly one yr! IOW, bogus work-fer-show. I also learned to play a
first shooter video game, but discovered I'm not really the video game
type. Soooo yes, a carpet commando can be a complete waste of
time/$$$$.

OTOH, I eventually learned to be a CAD drafter/designer/engineer.
Learning how to even use AutoCAD(TM) required special training. Plus,
I usta spend 2 nights a week (my own time!) improving my education.
IOW, I ended up designing the things I usta build. Without my
desk-bound efforts, the production floor --where I also once worked--
would have nothing to do.

Do both, then we'll talk.

How many times did I say that, if I decided to get another job I'd
find something where I wouldn't wake up in a sweat, did I change that
one thing before production??

How many times do you hear I'm retired, how did I ever work, I don't
have enough time to do all the stuff around here I need to. If I ever
decided to work it would be just as you say, small pay, small
responsibilities. I know it's a luxury not to have to.

I'm interested in food and how it relates to culture so yeah, that guy is
the bomb. My son got a plate of Filipino spaghetti recently. I asked him how
it was. He said it's like spaghetti with ketchup, only sweeter. I'm very
anxious to try this style spaghetti. Unfortunately, he ate up every last
scrap of pasta or whatever the heck is in Filipino spaghetti. One day, man.

Explain that to my shipper. He thinks he is the only one that really
works. In spite of his short minded thinking he was a great worker.

Try this method for unripe peaches. I've used it more than once
and it works!

Ms Young, how did you know I'm part of Wayne's social group? I tend to

ha! not quite

cobbler does sound good - couple of summers ago a guy from work gave me
a bunch of plums from his tree so I turned them into a cobbler and brought
that to the summer work potluck - not sure if he ate any

if I'm in the mood to make anything I'd do a cobbler ... but I sense
that I will be too busy ... I'm also going to two picnics -- I'll make
sandwiches for one of them and just bring salami to the other

Well, even anti-social types can have work "pot luck" situations.

The guy who'd bring in the cheapest and easiest possible contribution
was the same one who never missed filling up on free food everyone
else brought.

There's always one.

That's the reason we didn't do pot lucks at work... with more than 50
people there'd be at least half a dozen huge eaters who contributed
little. That's why voting on a menu and price worked well, and the
cheapskates opted out.

I'm a big chicken. Hee hee. The people on the mainland seem to like the food so I believe that Jollibee might be trending in a few years. It seems like America might be ready for spaghetti with no spices and a heaping amount of sugar. Amazing!

The great part for some folks is that you can get a Spam sandwich as well as a canned corned beef sandwich there. I doubt you can find that anywhere else. Halo halo could be a big thing on the mainland. I have a good feeling about this.

At least one, usually the same guy/gal that goes around pouring all the
booze that has a bit left in the bottles into one bottle which he/she takes
home. We actually knew people that did this.

If they drank the bottle that the bit was left in, probably not.

Lots of people do that... waste not, want not. At the local golf
course at the end of The Big Bash (a huge party/pig out by the lake)
Ray the course owner insisted that folks take all the food and booze
home or it would be dumped. I didn't take any but many would pour the
left over booze into one bottle. I guess alkies don't care about
swigging gin mixed with rum. I know that Ray would have thrown
everything left over into the dumpster, he's in the same economic
class as Trump, a very generous guy... he owns many high end golf
courses and several other businesses, plus he's heavy into very
expensive real estate, multi million dollar residenses with fabulous
mountain vistas. Ray is also a builder, he carved out his mountain
side golf courses himself... to find him look for the old guy in
raggedy clothing operating monster earth moving equipment. He loves
those huge machines, he maintains them himself. Ray is not
pretentious, you'd never know he's worth billions.

In my case, it is the big niece. She will bring a small amount of the
cheapest crap and then pork out on the good stuff.

Then there is Cheap Bob. His idea of contributing to a pot luck is to
bring guests..... like the time he brought his wife, brother and sister
in law, sister and brother in law and one can of beer.

I think it would be different if someone who was putting on a big bash,
paying for it etc. offered for people to do that, but I don't think it is
especially good manners for a couple to do that in a sneaky way, but it got
to be a running joke about Matt and Edna for years.

What would be a worthwhile pursuit would be "normalized" halo halo. No ube, no jackfruit, no coconut sport, no beans, no palm fruit, no nata de coco, nothing strange. Just canned fruit and shave ice and ice cream. Of course, you gotta have condensed milk.

OTOH, maybe that's not such a good idea.

Plenty of people do that at catered afairs, especially older women,
they wrap up as much food as their tote sized handbags can carry...
the advent of zip-locs made their smorgasbord shnorring much easier.

Shnorror: (shnor-ror) A begger; someone who always looking for a
handout or a free ride; the guy who's always in the bathroom when the
check comes; the person who's constantly borrowing but never
returning; someone who's continually sponging off others.

Oh dear lord, homey don't play that!

Sorry but that Jollibee weird spaghetti plate and recipe sounds
like such a fail to me. I doubt that will ever be trending
anywhere in the known world. It will never be tried or trending
in my house, that's for sure. And here people talk bad about
McD's food? yikes. :-D
