 CS> Umm, no thanks....

Same here, and I'm sure, if Steve has read this, he now agrees.

 CS> I had a sprayer once, it worked fine with olive oil then we put

 CS> out.  I dont use aerosol cans though either.  I use a kitchen rag and
 CS> a dab of oil.  One less extra thing to have to buy when cycling home
 CS> with all I could carry.

I understand. We had separate bottles for olive and canola oils & still
had trouble.

 CS> Sideline:  Today's shopping garnered me another set of odd looks.  The
 CS> cart had no boxed 'goodies' other than ice cream, one premix blueberry
 CS> muffin bag, and umm.  umm.  Oh yeah, 2 small boxes of mini egg rolls

 CS> and a new to us frozen oriental entree in a square box (garlic shrimp

I've had it; it's good and garlicy.

 CS> leftovers over rice).  The guy at the cash register just grinned.  Oh,
 CS> I did get some premade progresso soups and stuff like that.  And 2
 CS> loaves of a local bread type we love.

Watch the sodium levels with progesso; healthy choice are better.


 CS> Vast majority of what I got was meat, fresh veggies, and fruits.  I do
 CS> not understand how folks make ends meet with all the prepared stuff.

I know what you mean; I do a lot of stuff without prepared stuff. Don't
see how some folks (really junior enlisted) can make a go of it with a
kid, a baby in disposable diapers being formula fed, prepackaged this,
that and the other......................Military should have a program
of how to live on the salary you make and eat well.

 CS> For me though, this was lower than usual but I had to 'find money' to
 CS> replace the washing machine that just died and this worked.  175$
 CS> 'new' quality washing machine with some minor chips in the paint (wont
 CS> notice those in our out of the way back garage laundry area).  Nice
 CS> machine, sells for 750$ new.  Tgis one is a little less than 5 years

High efficiency like my Calypso? I had to get it new when my old washer
(regular type) blew the tub seal (almost) 5 years ago in HI.  But then,
it was only about 19 years old. (G)

 CS> old.  Lady has a laundry area right visible in her hall and the front
 CS> is a little dented and chipped from the kids.  In her case, the looks
 CS> were sufficient to replace it I guess.

Her choice, good deal for you.

 CS> Hehe he doesnt delete stuff from his base.  Thats good for the rest of
 CS> us as we can get odd things he doesnt like, from him on request.  For
 CS> me, chances are if i know I'll never want to make it, I delete it.
 CS> I'm also big on shifting the catagories to suit my own style of
 CS> lookups.  I split 'poultry' for example to chicken, cornish hen,
 CS> turkey, duck, and 'poultry' for anything else NOT otherwise listed.

That's the fun of this echo and the different recipe storage systems.
