The deli at my fred meyer is slow - the staff are slow, and there is
no organization as far as a line or number system. If I need something
from the deli I circle back to it a couple of times during my shopping
trip and go when there aren't many people waiting. Sometimes I circle
back and see all the same people waiting five minutes later.

Fortunately the thing I usually get there is black forest ham, and
they've started slicing and bagging it ahead of time in 1/2 lb to 1 lb
portions so I can just grab and go.

But then you might have to throw some out and make the US sell more

No. That would be the other one. She just got sick of him getting into the
sugar.

But a whole head takes up a ton of room in my fridge. Yes, there is waste
when I buy a bag because I generally only use a little bit. No need wasting
a whole head. Not even sure my gardener would feed that to his goats. A bag
is 99 cents. A whole head is usually more money than that.

Your prices are less there than here.

They're not my favorite store for groceries. They don't even sell wheat
grass and overall their prices are high. When Angela was young, I bought her
clothes there. We don't care for most of their adult clothing but we did get
some sweaters one year. I do like their plants though.

I often buy whole heads of lettuce, various kinds. I never buy those
plastic bags of chopped salad stuff, they disgust me.

Yea, nobody buys those, not even in Bothell. That's why there's 3-4
different brands covering 50 different varieties in almost every
store in the nation.

THAT'S what you got out her response? You just read it waiting for
her to say something you didn't like, then pounced on that?

I don't care, what kind of grandma does that? Goes to the trouble to set a
trap for her grandson, and then takes you outside to watch him choking?
Great memories of dear old grandma are not her goal obviously.

I also said that I don't know what it is. I don't know what it looks like,
where one would find it in the store, etc. Why? I don't like curry so would
never buy it.

I know people buy them. I just can't see why.

My grandmother would have just told us to stay the hell out of her
kitchen. Then again, it would never have occurred to any of us
grandchildren to eat a pile of white sugar. I'm pretty sure we would
have been able to tell the difference between sugar and flour, too. I
sincerely doubt this tall tale.

Then why bother to reply? I know what curry and curry paste is (there
are many different types). You just chime in to say you don't know what
it is, therefore you don't like it. How typical.

Honestly, my grandma wouldn't have cared, she used to make us kids those
little pie thingies all the time and not once did she ever want to watch us
"choke." I picture this lady as the grandma that would watch her grandson
choke, with other granchildren calling her to laugh about it. LOL

I can't view that video. Says it's restricted. Might have to do with
my ad blocker and other software.

I still can't imagine anyone purposefully wanting to trick a child to
eat flour and choke and cough just so they won't get into the sugar.
Just tell the child not to! I sound like an old fogey, but hey, when I
was a kid we learned respect and if Grandma (or Mom or Dad) said "Don't
do that" we didn't. <shrug>

When I don't use it all and it become rusty, I feed it to the worms in
compost pile.

Yes, that is where ours ends up )

BTW is the lettuce you buy wrapped in cellophane/clear plastic? I found
that if I take it off and wrap it myself in paper towels, it lasts a lot
longer in the fridge!

Sounds like a plan ... but then I realized all the paper towels would
cost as much as the lettuce

There is no end to the dysfunction in Julie's family, or maybe there is
just no end to Julie's stories. File this one away and remind her about
it. She will probably deny having posted it.

Paper product here are expensive. 6 rolls for $9. There are cheaper
brands like sparkle, but not very good for general use (they dissolve
when wet).

Lettuce here is generally only about $1 per head. I don't know what it
costs there in old blighty though.

Sometimes the heads are small and light, but many times they are tightly
packed and very good.

Foxy Brand iceberg is usually 99¢ a head, I feel them all for the most
zoftic one I can find. The ladies enjoy watching me feel, heft, and
sniff the produce while wishing it was them.

He might have thought it was powdered sugar. I don't know. I knew the
difference even at that age. I think I was 3 or 4.

Paper towels aren't cheap any more. You can get store brands for around $1 a
roll but they're small and not always good quality.

You don't know what it is, you don't know what it looks like, or
even know where to find it. BUT YOU DON'T LIKE IT?!?!?!?!

Do you ever listen to yourself whine?

I repeat. I don't like curry. I have tried it. I don't like the smell or the
taste. So why would I look for curry paste?
