I have some things to use up that I bought at the start of the pandemic. One
is that powdered Parmesan cheese. I also have a lot of Parmesan/Romano
combo. For awhile, someone was eating about a pound a day, putting it on
anything and everything. Then consumption stopped unless I made something
with it in there.

I also had a tube of Polenta. I had two tubes but didn't check the
expiration dates and the one expired some time ago. Can't remember if I
picked that up off the shelf or had it delivered.

Also had some chicken nuggets from Dollar Tree. They were actually pretty
good for chicken nuggets. I don't normally like chicken nuggets.

I did the Polenta in the air fryer. Worked very well but it did take some
time to cook as I could only do 4 slices at a time. I coated each slice in
olive oil and air fried until brown and crisp.

I overlapped the slices around the edge of a pie pan, then did the same in
the middle with the nuggets. I had three bags of nuggets. They were small.
Had to overlap a few of them onto the Polenta.

I put a small amount of red sauce in the bottom of the dish and then
smothered it all with Parmesan.

I figured that wouldn't be enough food given that I made almost two quarts
of chili and two quarts of rice yesterday. I woke up to no rice left and
just enough chili for two meals for me. So...

I cooked more rice.

I also cooked a small box of Penne and mixed it with red sauce and Parmesan.

Need to find more uses for the Parmesan. Maybe I can put it in crackers or
something. Neither of us are overly fond of pasta with red sauce. We both
like it with butter and Parmesan but we can only eat so much of that!

The "us" and "we" isn't you and the tutued offspring. You and Justin are *sharin'
the red sauce*. You're lucky that you have your own yard, so that you could have
the pretense of having a gardener. Jill doesn't have that. Her gardener works for
the condo assn. I'm sure that the extensive, communal lawn is far better kempt
than your back yard, but she isn't getting licked and dicked.

There you go again, assuming she's having sex with her gardener. I
think Julie is silly for constantly bringing up "Justin" or thinking
she's being sly when she says "someone" ate whatever, as if we don't
know who else is in the house. She always struck me as an asexual being
who managed to reproduce.

The man I pay to maintain the yard is an *employee*. He is happily
married, owns his own house and we are friendly but not "friends". I've
met his wife (who is a working RN and a charming woman). Julie's
gardener is a moocher. Totally different scenario.

I am surprised that they was even one. I didn't think there was enough
beer that she could get lucky.
Reminds me of a joke about twins that I won't bother telling.

I've always assumed that almost no one is asexual. Heck, even my oldest
sister, who is the biggest prude I've ever known, I assume has a decent sex
life within her marriage. My BIL has always seemed happy enough.

I wasn't actually suggesting that you had a thing with your yard guy.
The joke was about Julie, and I do think it's likely that "Justin" is having
sex with her, but maybe it is just companionship, or maybe there's no
goatherd gardener at all. Maybe it's all a fiction.

(List snipped but all sounds reasonable).

You don't mention it often but you do bake bread. Parmesan works there
in several ways.

If you have a favorite dough that also likes up to 1/2c cheese, try
parmesan for it. It's apt to be a little dense but in the right
applications, this is a good thing. Makes some very nice garlic bread
for example. Can be baked in the machine if you like (paddle removed
if it bugs you).

Do you like bread sticks? Make a fairly firm dough (not too sticky)and
pat or roll it out to about 1/2inch thick. Cut to strips then roll
strips in Parmesan and other spices you like (parsley and a little
black pepper plus a sea or coarse salt work nicely). I like kosher
flaked salt here. Bake as normal, preferably not touching.

A lot of people like to add Parmesan to meatloaf as a portion of the
filler. 1/4c to 1lb meat (or meat mix if combining beef and pork)
seems to be the normal proportions. Adds a bit of healthy calcium.

Next is a little wierd and I've not tried it, but I've seen it and it
was always gone by the time I got to it. It's a variation on panko
crusted fried chicken but it's rolled in mayo and Parmesan for the
coating. This can be baked or fried in a pan. I'd try baked first
myself. Most had bits of greenery (assume dried chives?) sprinkled
about.

https://www.hellmanns.com/us/en/reci...en-recipe.html

Lots of other hits on it. That one is simpler than many others. I
like the idea of baking potato wedges along side and would be tempted
to add a Delicata Squash or Acorn squash along side.

Humm.... I may try it today with some bone in chicken thighs...

we use it in meatballs, lasagna filling, stuffings,
on top of salads with the croutons, on top of croutons
on soups, it's pretty flexible.

We don't eat croutons or meatballs unless I happen to find meatballs on sale
for cheap. I do use it in lasagna. Just don't have the rest of the
ingredients. I have to be flexible with food now as I depend on what I can
get delivered. I hate to plan to make something then find that key
ingredients were out of stock and can't be delivered.

I don't understand why anyone would buy meatballs. So easy to make and
the taste is so much better. Never order them in a restaurant either
because they are usually some pre-made crap in canned sauce.

Costco will be selling meatballs that you can't make yourself. Beats me how it tastes.

I tried making them twice. One was with ground turkey. Yuck. The other was
with coconut flour. Those tasted fine but were more like lumps. Meatballs
are low on our list of foods that we like so I won't bother to make them. I
can sometimes get a bag of them for around $1.88. Normally I use them with
polenta. I pile them in the middle of the polenta. I might eat one, just to
remind myself that I don't really like them. Justin will eat them, but he's
not fond of them so I don't buy them often. To me they're like boxed mac and
cheese. Something you eat once in a while to save money.

I used to buy a big bag of some kind at the military commissary in Brooklyn.
I can't remember the brand. They were labeled as "Regular", Italian" and
"Swedish", but they all tasted the same to me. I brought them to my in-laws
house and made them either as the Swedish style or Italian with red sauce
and pasta. They all raved about them and people asked me for the recipe.
That being said, I was never served meatballs by of my ex's family. Maybe
they didn't eat meatballs very often.

One of the few good food things about St. Louis is Italian restaurants. There
are no pre-made meatballs. We seldom eat at Italian restaurants here because
they are pricey. Our favorite Italian restaurant is in an unlikely locale, Eureka
Springs, Arkansas. https://ermilios.com/ It's easier to justify expensive meals
when one is on vacation. Eureka Springs is touristy, but not cheesy like
Branson, MO, more like a toy town, and they have a neat old hotel.
https://www.crescent-hotel.com/
There are trolleys, little overpriced boutique shops, and it's all very laid back.

yes, we make our own, those pre-made meatballs are
really icky. using cheese in them is one of the reasons
they taste so good.

Can be any grated, crumbled, shredded cheese, small diced Swiss is
good, that's what's on my salad now. We rarely have croutons, most
often crispy Chinese noodles.

In other words you dumpster dive.
Normal people make their own meat-a-ballas... only wierdos eat mystery
meat-a-balles. And when cheap they are a big meat-a-mystery. You'd
do better and safer to buy meat-a-balles from a decent Italian
restaurant or pizzaria.
Meat grinders for home use ain't expensive. Right now is hunting
season and for the holidays sporting goods stores have big sales on
meat grinders.

seafood... frozen is never fresh.

Dumpster dive? No. As I said, things like frozen meatballs and boxed mac an
cheese are for cheap meals. Not for pleasure. I don't meatballs very much so
would never bother to eat them.

If I have ground beef, it is usually made into patties or hamburger gravy.
Once in a while, I'll do a casserole. Never meatballs.

I can bake bread. I just haven't in some time. I don't personally like it

I made a cheese and jalapeno bread many years ago, but didn't care for it
enough to finish it beyond the first bite. Don't like garlic bread at all.
Don't have a bread machine any more. Had one and hated it. Gave it away.

Ah... I could try that. Haven't made meatloaf in some time. We don't eat
pork aside from bacon. My meatloaf has a lot of veggies in it, tomato juice
or V8 and some oats. Will have to wait until I have more room in the
freezer. We haven't been eating the frozen food. I'm trying to do so now but
I don't eat a lot so I'm barely making a dent in it. I always make a lot of
small loaves asnd freeze them.

I forgot about the potatoes! I just need to get potatoes. I cut up Russets,
soak in ice water, then dry off, coat in Parmesan, salt, pepper, garlic and
whatever other seasonings sound good. I'm out of garlic right now too. I
think my order is supposed to come today. I forgot the oil. I coat the cubes

Just another whine. "I have some things to use up that I bought at the
start of the pandemic. One is that powdered Parmesan cheese. I also have
a lot of Parmesan/Romano combo. For awhile, someone was eating about a
pound a day, putting it on anything and everything. Then consumption

I get the mooch part. Who the heck told her to hoard powdered cheese?!

Don't get me started on two tubes of polenta. And bags of chicken
nuggets. Seems to me she always had things like that in the freezer.
Sorry, but gack.

Oh, she's the gourmet pandemic cook. Doesn't like red sauce yet they
eat it even if they aren't "overly fond". The pandemic does not explain
stocking up on food she doesn't like and has to use up.

I don't know about the rest of you but I never buy food I know I don't
like. 3 lbs. of chicken nuggets and don't like red sauce so why not dip
the disliked chicken nuggets with red sauce and some of that stupid
canned parmesan? Oh dear, had problems with the rice and the polenta
expired and so-and-so wouldn't eat anymore. Sheesh.

It's a very odd life.

Nobody told me to. At one point, he was eating it faster than I could buy
it. her stopped. Personally, I can live without the stuff. I used to buy one
small container and by the time I'd go to use it a second time it long since
had expired. He does the same with canned vegetables. First it was peas,
then green beans, now pickled beets. Vegetables are not a problem as they
keep for a couple of years and I will eat those. I also have a ton of
cheddar cheese. Both of us were eating a lot of that and then we stopped. I
think I got burned out on it. Am making an effort to make things with cheese
in them now.

I bought chicken nuggets when Angela was here. She and her friends ate them.
At the start of the pandemic, I had to get my groceries at Dollar Tree. I
can get in and out of there fairly quickly. But at grocery stores, I had to
wait outside, shopping too far longer because of the one way aisles and
social distancing, then wait in a long line. My legs couldn't bear it. And
nobody in this area was delivering perishables. Thankfully they have worked
the bugs out of that now. I do have to wait several days to get the food but
I can get it. Dollar Tree doesn't have much in the way of meat. I bought
what I could, just so we had some meat.

I didn't say that I don't like it. I said we're not ovely fond of it. I was
married to an Italian for 22 years and lived in a part of NY that was mostly
Italian. I quickly got burned out on that kind of food. But right now (at
least in this area), food is less a matter of what I want, and more a matter
of what I can get.

Frankly, I am getting burned out on life right now. I've mostly stayed home
for the better part of 9 months and now we are not allowed to socialize at
all. I've seen one friend once in 9 months, my mom twice, Angela maybe a
dozen times, my BF a handful of times. Businesses are shu. Restaurants are
closed except for takeout. 40% of the restaurants in the area are
permanently closed now. I am really sick of staying home with little or
nothing to do. Food is less of an interest. I can't bake things for friends
and can't leave the house except to go to the Dr. Maybe you think I'm
whining, and I know I'm not alone in my feelings. We can't celebrate
Christmas so I didn't evrn decorate except to slap a $5 wreath on the wall.
I can't get the surgery I need. I'm just fed up and don't care much about
anything any more. <End rant>

I did *not* say I don't like red sauce. I said I'm not overly fond of it. I
will not buy broccoli or asparagus. I will not eat either one. Justin
*might* eat the broccoli. Or he might not. He will not eat asparagus. If we
only ate what we wanted, he would likely eat nothing but big steaks and
cereal and I'd eat bean burritos and raw veggies. I couldn't get bean
burritos for some time or the tortillas to make them. Not the good tortillas
to make them. I can *only* buy what the store has available for sale. At the
time, the chicken nuggets were the only available meat that we'd eat. They
had sausage, ham and bologna. Maybe hot dogs. We don't eat that stuff at
all. I would prefer other things over chicken nuggets but if that's all I
have, I will at them. If I only have ham, I'll starve.

All I can say is I have not run out of food, haven't even thought about
"expiration dates" on things like dried cheese. Somehow, I always
manage to have a pantry full of food, even if it might not be exactly
what I feel like eating.

"someone" (we all know you're hinting about 'Justin') was eating about a
pound a of powdered parmesan/Romano cheese a day. Sorry, I don't
believe it. You need a scapegoat for throwing out food.

If he wasn't eating it, then I don't know what he was doing with it. It was
going somewhere!

My pantry is full too. I just went through it and straightened it up. I
wouldn't have to do that if I lived alone. Nor would I have to keep nearly
as much food as I do now. I am down to my last can of black beans. Had no
luck getting them delivered. Have a Walmart order coming any time now but
they subbed a name brand for the Great Value. All of the subs were fine
except for the lentils. They wanted to sub dried for canned. Don't need
dried.

Why not dried lentils for a sub, Julie?
So quick and easy to cook and they don't need to be pre-soaked either.

Exactly, Gary. Dried lentils don't require soaking. They cook up in 20
minutes. It's another "poor pitiful me" couldn't get what I wanted

I don't eat them. Justin does. I have dried ones. He has never used them. He
eats canned.

There you go again, hinting he's maybe stealing food. I have no idea
why you ever put up with it, other than the fact that you are simply
incapable being comfortable in your own skin living alone.

Really? If you lived alone you'd never have to go through the pantry?
I live alone. I frequently go through my pantry (and the freezer) and
adjust things make note of what I have on hand and what I might need to
be replenished. Living alone is no reason not to keep things organized
and be aware of what you have to eat.

> Nor would I have to keep nearly as much food as I do now.

DUH! If you made the mooch pay for his own food... good lord, you'll
never figure out you created and encouraged this situation.

Canned lentils? Dried lentils only take about 20 minutes to cook. They
aren't the same as dried beans. Your excuses are specious.

"Proverbs 6:16-19 ESV

There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers..."

Amen! That's why parson Popeye rarely visits us these days. And
even rarer do we get a big raunchy sex story from his holiness.

And we don't get many wimmens with enormous titties and wet
squirting pussies post here anymore.

I do believe the damn devil has taken this place.

Nonsense! You are doubting that he ate It've seen how much he can eat at one
time. I will say that he doesn't generally eat three meals a day. Sometimes
it\s one meal.

I am perfectly comfortable here but there's a big storm rolling in. We coul
lose power and then I might be cold. I have electric heat.

I have decided, there is nothing I can say. You or someone else will twist
it into something else because you love drama.

I am in the process of transistioning over to my new computer. I doubt that
I'll put the news server on it. I'm only on two newsgroups now and the other
is essentially dead, save for one poster.

Where I am not comfortable is here, on this nerwgroup. It has become a most
unpleasant place.

I didn't say that. I said I wouldn't have to straighten it out. You took
what I said and turned the opposite way again. When I live alone, my pantry
is always organized. There is also far less food in it. Yes, I will have to
check dates on things. But I will never have to take all the cans of beans
out and put the kidney beans in one row because they would have stayed in
that row. And if I accidentally drop something, I will pick it up and put it
back where it goes.

He buys food. We share some food. Again, I don't generally pay him cash. I
do for some larger jobs. But our agreement was that he takes care of the day
to day things in exchange for room and board. Doesn't matter if you like it
or not, that's the agreement we made.

I don't eat lentils. He does. I have dried. He eats the canned. Again, ****
off.

Don't be mean. She's probably just jealous because she doesn't have
a gardener to caress her bush.

Have you tried Red lentils? I have some recipes I wanted to try but am
having trouble sourcing them. I don't know if they taste different.
If not, might try the recipes with what I have.
