500 grams of ground beef is barely enough for two skimpy burgers for
us... I typically prepare 12 ounce burgers.

That's appalling. Most gluttons would be satisfied with a half pound burger - in each hand.

You must be a very tiny wimp.

A 12 oz burger isn't much, after it's cooked it's like a cooked 12oz
steak, in fact that's what it's called at greasy spoons, a 12 oz
chopped steak... on the blue plate special it comes with a baked spud
and a veggie, usually includes a salad too.
We only get to eat about 3/4 of those 12 oz burgers because the cats
get a share too. I don't understand how those fast food joints
advertise 1/4 pounders like they're some big deal meal... to me a 1/4
pounder is a burger for a six year old... normal 8 year olds can eat
two w/fries no problem and can still down a shake.

Yoose are a liteweight Penfart. Yoose should make 1 lb burgers like a

I guess he does this to fit the giant buns he bakes ... probably 8-10

Beats the heck out of me how yoose can guess my size by the fact that yoose make hamburgers of unreasonable proportions. Why the heck are yoose feeding dose cats ground and cooked meat? Does yoose hate cats?

Yeah. I can't eat it every night. That's why I am looking for things to do

Bullshit... parents don't allow their kids to have normal play, all
they can do is fake play dates with other obeastie brats.

Childhood obesity is primarily due to the only activity most kids do
is working a keyboard, and their parents making them play dates at an
arcade where they stuff their face.

There is no one thing that is responsible for childhood obesity. It is
usually a combination of two or more factors. High sugar and high fat
food certainly contributes to the problem. There is a lot of shelf space
devoted to soda pop, snack foods, candy and sugared cereals. Lack of
exercise denies the kids the opportunity to burn off those extra
calories. Activity develops muscle, which will help to burn off more.
Fit, well muscled children tend to enjoy exercise and will work harder
to be better.The unfit and overweight kids have to work so much harder
for half the accomplishment and lose interest.

Parents also keep a tight leash on their kids these days. The kids get
bored. We had bicycles and backpacks, so we went off on long hikes or
bicycle rides. We either came back for lunch or we packed a lunch, and
we had to be back for supper. Later on I had to be back for my paper
route. My neighour used to drive her kids to catch the school but... at
the end of their driveway, and she would drive down and wait for the
bus, even when they were in high school. Lucky them that they did not
have to walk that 125 yards.

If younger kids stray from the front of the house parents are charged

http://wjla.com/news/local/silver-sp...e-alone-112094

When I was 8, I could go to my grandparents house by taking a bus,
train, then trolley. Today my parents would be arrested for letting me
go. At 10 we rode our bikes across a mile long bridge to another state
to visit a former class mate.

I was about that age when my mother drove me and my 5 year old brother
to Toronto and dropped us of off at the street car terminal in the west
end of city to go and visit with my grandparents who live up in what was
then the north east corner of the city. She had written down
instructions and telephone numbers in case we got into trouble.

Things have certainly changed in a few decades. What's common in Japan would terrify most Westerners.

Those days are long gone and ain't coming back. I was about 6 and my
sister about 4 when we wandered about a mile out of the village to watch
the village soccer team. We arrived home when it was almost dark, being
November, and although my parents were surprised about where we had
been, they weren't a bit worried.

Yes, at 9 (me) and 11 (brother) we were at the river, running high bluffs
every day in the summer. Now, we laugh and say we wonder what our parents
could have been thinking, but that was pretty much the norm in the mid 50's.

I make a couple of smaller burgers....maybe 4oz. I could see
making one larger but certainly not 12oz for one burger. That
really does sound like overkill.

What do you put on those giant burgers?

When I was young, not many people had cars so village communities like
mine were somewhat "enclosed". The village had a shoe shop and a shoe
repairer as well as a bicycle repair shop.

There must be a lot of excrement, what with all those enormous meals he
cooks up. If he was in a city, they'd have to install a 14 inch sewer

I said something to my mother years later about our long leash and she
said she always knew where we were. Okay. If she wanted to believe
that. I don't think she had any idea how far we roamed.

When I was a teen I used to hitchhike a lot. In my first year of high
school my best friend moved about 40 miles north of Toronto and a few
months later we moved down to Niagara. I used to hitchhike up there and
and back a couple times a month, usually going up Friday night and
returning Sunday night. On the weekends in between another friend and I
spent a lot of time in Toronto. I would tell my parents I was going
downtown. I think they assumed I meant downtown St.Catharines. Nope, it
was downtown Toronto.

Within one block of my house we had a grocery store, supermarket, drug
store, plant nursery that also sold candle making supplies, coin op laundry,
7-11, KFC, dry cleaners, hair salon, gas station, dentist office and a
restaurant. There was another restaurant and library a block further. If you
were to go a little further but still less than a mile away, there were all
sorts of things. Two five and dimes, a department store, more supermarkets,
another drugstore, ice cream shop, donut shop, more restaurants and other
businesses. Also two movie theaters. I was quite spoiled.

THat makes sense doris and is similar to what Susan does. I was at her
house once as we got back from a shopping trip. It was funny to watch 3
others use both her stove tops to brown down 10lbs of ground beef as we
split up some spices (we got a bulk set with some for each of us).

Be careful asking Sheldon to cook you a cheeseburger -

That's not nearly big enough to be a PenFart burger!

Look it up. There are tons of recipes for rice pilaf.

When it was suggested you cook rice and freeze it you wondered why. How
about that stir-fry you mentioned? Stir-fried rice is *never* made with
freshly cooked rice. Day old, refrigerated rice at best. If you want
to use brown, whatever... it would still be similar to day old rice if
thawed from frozen. Of course it is not normal to make stir-fry with
brown rice.

I'm guessing, he waits for his Indian "roomates" do do something with it.

Yes but since I am cooking rice nearly every day, I just cook extra when I
need to. I can put it in the fridge till the next day.

I did make a pilaf the other day. I couldn't eat it as it contained almonds.
I did try it for seasonings prior to the almonds and it was good. Was
chicken flavored with mushrooms and carrots. I used fresh mushrooms and far
fewer than it called for.

As for the "normal", do you really think I care? I once told someone that I
wouldn't know normal if it bit me. And that's true. Does anyone even really
know what normal is? I think it only matters when we are looking at
something to see if it might be dangerous or even unhealthy. Such as... It's
not normal to find rat poop in our container of rice. Or... It's not normal
for the cooked and refrigerated rice to be covered with fuzzy green mold.
AFAIK, nobody ever got sick from using brown rice in fried rice. In fact,
for this part of the country, that actually *is* fairly normal. Most of the
Asian restaurants offer brown rice now and will even make fried rice out of
it.

I forge my own way in the world. I do what is right for me and those around
me. I don't much care about normal.
