Not a VSTD meal (pic)

[jmcquown]

Eggs cooked in butter, bacon on the side and buttered sourdough toast.

https://i.postimg.cc/G9nLQn9G/notVSTD.jpg

Dinner tonight will petite (Patagonian) scallops in scallop shells.
Sauteed onion, garlic and diced bell pepper in a little butter then add
the scallops and seasonings and toss with dried breadcrumbs. The
mixture will be spooned onto scallop shells and topped with a sprinkling
of Parmesan cheese. Under the broiler for a few minutes to finish it
off. Vegetable sides will be lightly steamed broccoli. Again, not STD
or remotely VSTD. Definitely not B O R I N G. :) It's my birthday dinner.

Maybe when you can get a job and keep it you can afford to buy meat again
and not eat just overcooked vegetables piled on a plate and pretend they
are awesome.

Did I say it was? John is not a true vegetarian, he's just a broke and
out of work nurse who is getting by as cheaply as he can but praising
the vegetarian lifestyle to deflect his lack of funds. Thus the
elimination of meat from his diet.

He'll be along shortly to hotly deny this.

I figured you were tired of my e-bike adventures so no more reports,
you can rest easy. But if you're wanting some bicycle adventures I
heartily recommend '1 Bike 1 World' on YouTube. It's a Scottish guy
traveling throughout Europe on his bike with a cat he picked up in
Albania, I believe. He's just come out of a 3-month quarantine from
Hungary (Covid-19) and is in Slovakia but has badly sprained his ankle.

Me neither. He does. And boy does he get a lot of feedback, thus
encouraging him to continue posting every time he scratches his head.

Uh-huh. Don't say it's ethical and then say you wouldn't refuse a serving
if offered to you because it's rude. Plenty of true vegetarians refuse any
offerings of meat and it's not rude to refuse.

I can afford to buy meat but don't like the idea of paying $30 to $40 for a hunk of meat. The last meat I bought was $6 for some ground pork. Mostly, we've been eating fish but sometimes I could kill for a burger. I'll have to go to this place when "all this" is over.

I've not seen any meat here that is $30 to $40 per pound but then again I
don't look for meat priced that high. I did buy pork for carnitas this
past week and it certainly was nowhere near that per pound.

"All this" will probably have a lasting impact on American society. Hopefully it will change the US for the better.

[dsi1]

My wife said that eggs on the mainland were going for $1.49/18. I bought some eggs the other day. They were $3.45/18. That was a major score because usually they're $5.49/18. I was quite pleased with myself.

Really? Can you or she name these stores where eggs are going for this
price? Grade A large eggs this week at Kroger are selling for 79¢ per
dozen while jumbo eggs were selling for $1.00 per dozen at Walmart.

[dsi1]

No, I cannot nor would I bother to find out. The eggs were on sale in Washington state. Do the research if you're interested. If jumbo eggs were selling for $1.00 per dozen at Walmart, what's so unbelievable about eggs selling for $1.49 per 18 i.e., exactly the same price?

Disgusting animal torture eggs.

[U.S. Janet B.]

yes, the price you state is about right. I'm paying probably $1.89
for 18 extra large at Walmart.

We have locally produced eggs and milk here that cost about 30% more than eggs and milk from the mainland. Of course, I only get mainland eggs and milk. My guess is that in the near future, we won't have any milk or eggs produced locally.

Meat seems to have remained regular price here lately...just not on sale
so often.

Saw a McDonald's commercial last night. A double cheeseburger, a small
fries and 6 chicken nuggets for $3.00. Not too bad.

[Gary]

At my local store here (Harris Teeter) a 30-count tray of eggs is only
$1.99. Same price it's always been and always available.

Someone here told me that Walmart sells them even cheaper but I've never
shopped at Walmart for groceries. Just for their other stuff.

[Gary]

Yet, you eat live eggs with no problem. Live baby chicken embryos killed
and eaten every morning. How does that make you so special?

At those prices you should be able to enjoy a good piece of Ukelele
ass.

[dsi1]

My first trip to the mainland was to the San Francisco Bay Area. I was quite impressed at how cheap food was. Milk seemed dirt cheap to me, it was half price. I suppose that prices were about 30% cheaper than Hawaii. My guess is that the price difference isn't so large these days.

The Japanese tourists that come here must be amazed at how they can buy a steak or burger for dirt cheap so I suppose we should be grateful for what we got.

[dsi1]

It's 3 in the morning and I'm eating a burrito filled with beans, cheese, quinoa, and a spicy sauce. It's rolled up and fried and I'm as happy as a clam.

When? During the '60s Frisco was the least expensive place to live...

Oh my, are you actually sticking up for Bruce?
He has chickens and a rooster or more. That's how it usually
works.

Beats me, I haven't lived there in decades. We flew in and went to a market to get some supplies. Just before we got out of the car there was a news report that Keith Moon had died. My mind was pondering heavily on his death and then how milk was ridiculously priced. That was certainly a milestone day for me.

Uh... the "gold rush" in San Fransisco you speak of ended in 1855.
There have been a few upgrades to the city since then, not to mention an
earthquake that destroyed quite a lot. I guess you haven't priced real
estate in the Bay area lately. I watched an episode of 'House Hunters'
a few days ago. $1.5 million might get you a one bedroom/1 bath condo
in the Bay area these days. You'd need a budget of closer to $1.7
million to get 2 bedrooms. (When I say "condo" I'm talking about row
houses - maybe you can relate better if you imagine a row of Brooklyn
brownstones.)

The last time I was in San Francisco (yep, it was 1969) Dad had been
transferred to Thailand. We ate at a Chinese restaurant the night
before we had to catch the flight. I'm pretty sure the food was dirt cheap.

In 1961 the least expensive CA cities to live in were Frisco and

worked for Lockheed my take home pay was $444.00 per week. We rented
half a very nice 2 bedroom duplex in Monterey Park for $55/month. The
following year in Diego we rented a lovely 3 bedroom stand alone house
just north of the zoo for $60/month + $5 to rent a gas stove... at the
time rentals didn't include a stove, could rent one from the landlord
or use your own. At that time San Diego was the filthiest Navy town
I've ever seen, wall to wall gin mills, tattoo parlors, and whore
houses. I took the job at Hughs because the take home pay was $100 a
week more than from Lockheed in Burbank so we rented way out of town

The point is that a lot of folks think CA was always expensive for
living. The cost of living in CA was once dirt cheap nut then suddely
rose steeply during the fuel shortage during the '70s. During the
'60s I paid 10｢/gallon for premium in CA and got double Plaid stamps.
A lot of people think certain restaurants were first to employ Hooters
girls... not true... the most bodacious Hooters girls were pumping
gas, checking oil, and cleaning windshields in skimpy bikinis in
SoCal.

[GM]

Yup, some of these gals were providing curbside service at the many California drive - in eateries...it was a good way to make a living, and if a gal was lucky she just *might* be "discovered" by a movie studio talent agent...

Income stratification in CA is now the worst in the US, if this trend continues CA will become a "feudal" type of society, a few rich at the top, most everyone else a low - wage peon...CA now leads the nation in poverty...peeps are fleeing the state like rats from a sinking ship...

CA housing prices are stratospheric, one of the reasons are zoning laws that prevent multi - family dwellings from being built...meanwhile those who bought a home years ago are now real estate "millionaires"...

sense.

I was replying to Joan who asked about dsi1's price of eggs. Hawaii has
*always* been more expensive in terms of cost of living than anywhere on
the mainlaind... even in San Francisco, which is quite pricy.

That photo shows conclusively that Hawaiians are more sophisticated than

Alternatively, we'll roll down our car windows and stick our heads out to
