====================
->  RH> That's the only way I buy yogurt, on sale with coupon.  I love
->  RH> Fage/Total, but it's not cheap.  Siggi is seriously good too; it's
->  RH> Icelandic stule, and rather expensive.
-> 
-> We get the Fage on sale--on the 5/$5 or 10/$10 type sales. Never heard
-> of Siggi tho.
-> 
It might not be down there.  

->  RH> We got a color set the next year.  The old B&W set was for us kids; 
we
->  RH> didn't get rid of it until some time in the 1990s.  It still
worked.
-> 
-> I'm not sure when my folks got rid of their b&w set; I was in college,
-> then married so not there too often. I know they'd put it in their
-> bedroom & at some point got rid of it from there but not sure when that
-> was.

Probably when they couldn't hook it to a cable box, if they broke down and 
got cable.
 
-> -> Operating one, probably not. Shows--on Nickelodeon or TV Land, 
probably.
-> 
->  RH> Old Mickey Mouse Club and Lucy reruns, probably.
-> 
-> And some of the old Andy Griffith, Red Skelton, Jacie Gleason, Addams
-> Family, Munsters, etc, etc.

Lost In Space?

->  RH> My nose didn't mind; my taste buds on the other hand said NO.  I 
tried
->  RH> eating a raw tomato tonight with similar results.  I can get them 
down
-> 
-> OTOH, I can scarf down raw tomatoes with no problem. We've got one
-> outside that's almost ripe enough to pick & eat.
-> 
Just make sure your friendly local woodchuck doesn't come along and scarf
it 
first.  We had one who did just that.  Raccoons will do it too.
 
->  RH> but will never like them.  We had prefab frozen chicken too; it 
wasn't
->  RH> horrible.
-> 
-> Sounds like what my folks get from their "meat guy"--easy do stuff
-> that's not horrible, not good either. Easy for Mom to (over) cook tho.
-> 
It had that advantage.  Not something I'd buy twice, but it was three bucks 
for a bag instead of $8.99 so I gave it a try.

-> -> Can't do that with the strawberry pie I made last week or the one I 
did
-> -> today. They don't last long enough to get marked down.
-> 
->  RH> That's why you buy them on sale.
-> 
-> I do the strawberry pies just for us; it would cost too much to do for a
-> crowd.
-> 
Heard that.  If you grow your own that's another matter, but if you have to 
buy them it gets a little pricey. 
 
-> -> salad, pie later. Too sick to care much about cooking or eating; made
-> -> the pie because the berries weren't going to keep.
-> 
->  RH> Sounds OK to me.  We had sweet potato fries, salad, brussels
sprouts
->  RH> (frozen) and that baked prefab chicken stuff.  The chicken was
-> 
-> I'd eat the sprouts, Steve would go for the fries. (G)

I ate both.  
 
-> -> I'm not sure how the wiring runs in this place, just don't want 
critters
-> -> to munch on it.
-> 
->  RH> In that case you need a barely civilized former feral kitty.  He or
->  RH> she will clean house.  Provided she doesn't land you in the ER 
first.
-> 
-> Or out on the street for breaking our lease by having pets.
-> 
There is that.  But it wouldn't be a pet; it would be a mousetrap.  
We nailed two in the basement this week.
