    What's for Dinner?

    PB&J; didn't feel like cooking dinner because I was so hungry.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Cheap tchotchkes that will end up in a landfill. You know how some stores have dollar bins? People will buy anything from those. Target's "dollar" bins are full of $3-$10 items and I'm tempted to buy it, but I tell myself no a lot. I don't need it.

    What's for Dinner?

    I had to look up rutabagas and found they're turnips. I like those, including the slightly bitter flavor. (Why do I like bitter foods?) They're a good sub for potatoes (less starchy) but I'm sad that they cost so much more.

    It annoys me too because if there's nothing they need to buy they're teaching their kids materialism. There I work in a retail store and we get those moms. I understand some moms might need some stuff they're buying, but I'm not talking about them. I'm referring to the ones who are in there...

    Lunch, Anybody?

    Browned hamburger (all things beef are the veggie versions in my case), beef stock, onions, a bit of garlic, tomato paste, carrots, peas, green beans. I suppose bay leaf might be nice, too.

    Speaking of Sheeplady's quote, she said This applies to sufferers of many chronic illnesses. My boss does that to me: tells me why I shouldn't feel the way I do or to act like I'm not in pain because that's how she deals with medical issues (to the point of being chastised by her doctor...

    Hamburger soup.

    Boost mobile, $30 a month, last phone I bought was $25. Oustide of a paper-saving notepad app, I only have one other: it is a coupon thing. I chose to have a mobile over a landline (no way I'm paying for both) because I'm sometimes gone 10 hours a day and payphones are virtually non-existent...

    Here's a profound explanation that makes sense to me (sorry, possible language):

    Lunch, Anybody?

    Rice pudding is good with rose water and pistachios.

    Lunch, Anybody?

    Do you have any rose water? That's good on rice pudding.

    No, but there should be. It's obvious you're blocking a bunch of stuff if you do it. Anyone with a sense of courtesy and an awareness of other people parks his cart in the more open area and takes valuables with him. Besides, I learned a long time ago that many customers don't read signs...

    Our store has a perpendicular set of hallways at the bathrooms. If you park a cart there, you can simultaneously block the exit to the kitchen, the door to the men's room, the door to the ladies', and the hallway that leads to the fire exit. People are good at that. I will move it for you...

    I just had a fakon sandwhich and a mixed berry yogurt smoothie: total summer food.

    I used to grocery shop at 10:30 pm, after work. That's when retail people go. We like it; no customers bothering us.

    Lunch, Anybody?

    That's one of my favorite shows. The main ingredients are lemon juice, yogurt, onion, garlic, ginger, garam masala, and cayenne pepper. it's tangy and sunny-warm and not spicy, despite the cayenne.

    Used to love that. There's nothing like it.

    My online acquaintance has had to deal with that as well as field questions like "What's wrong with you?" I shouldn't be surprised; she lives in my state. :rolleyes:

    In my book kids get a pass because they don't understand privacy yet.
