Whole Foods now has Just Mayo in stock for shipping. At least I hope they
do. It's the kind that must be refrigerated. They did have brown rice syrup
but when I tried to place the order, it said it was out of stock. The order
will arrive tomorrow, so I'll see what I will get.

What I couldn't find was normal Ricotta cheese. The only stuff I found was
at PCC and I physically had to go there. None was visible so I had to ask.
The guy dug way to the back of the case. There were a few containers of
organic stuff. Small, overpriced or really small and super overpriced. I
opted for two of the small, overpriced. I don't care for cottage cheese in
lasagna.

I am annoyed with Safeway. I had placed an order for delivery. They had the
Best Foods vegan mayo on sale. They have recently changed the recipe and
online reviews are horrible but I actually like it as it doesn't separate
out. The old recipe did. Anyway... I got no mayo, no ricotta, and no
tamales. They don't normally sell the Texas Tamales but they were listed for
sale and for about$4 less per pkg. than Central Market. I was able to get
the tamales and the overpriced Ricotta there. I totally forgot to look for
the mayo, hence the Whole Foods order, but if they did have it, it would
likely be very overpriced.

Maybe a lot of people here make lasagna for Christmas. I dunno. Safeway and
Albertsons almost always seem to be out of it no matter what time of year.

Since I'll be home cat sitting, my wife left yesterday to visit her
two sons and three grands, I will just need to cook for me and feed
the cats, and give Miche his two insulin injections each day (he's
doing much better), my wife will return on the 28th. I'll cook the
half ham for me, my wife doesn't eat ham anyway. I've no plan to make
anything to go with the ham... probably I'll have ham sandwiches with
Guldens spicy brown. I need to go into town this morning for my 11 AM
haircut appointment, so I'll stop at Tops and find semolina bread and
onion rolls at their bakery.

Julie is much too fussy an eater for someone who hardly cooks... and
has to have her food delivered because she's too lazy to go to the
store.

Some things - mostly meat and beef in particular - are pricey , but
the only thing we've seen here that's not fully stocked is TP . Go
figure , but since we've got enough for a couple of months I'm not going
to worry about it . We don't get stocked up we stay stocked up . Livin'
out here in the wilderness (yeah yeah) encourages that .

This is the recipe I used:

Thank you, Doris. A good recipe to save. There's always a few brands
of ricitta in the markets here but one day I will use your recipe to
make my own. There's always whole milk and lots of fresh lemons here,
and I can always buy cream.
I hope you had a Merry Christmas and have a
very Happy and Healthy New Year.

They will fit on the spindle but they will barely turn until some has been

I like the 24 packs of single roll tp (Angel Soft). Nice and 'fluffy'
but hard to find now. Now it's all double rolls. Same tp but compressed
more to fit. Not as good.

Now I see some companies selling "triple rolls." That's probably what
is too thick to turn for awhile on a holder.

This is just companies trying to save money and telling us it's "new and
improved."

New? yes. Improved? not really.

I haven't noticed them being compressed. I have noticed them
narrowing over the years. Eventually we'll have butt floss.

I don't mind the triple rolls. I picked a TP holder that would
accommodate them.

What's a TP storage container? We store about fifty rolls of TP on
the top shelf of the linen closet in the hallway just outside the
bathroom... inside the bathroom we have a plastic wastepaper container
next to the toilet that can hold up to three rolls of Scott TP. The
other bathroom also contains the clothes washer and dryer and there's
a large closet that contains a pull down ironing board. The top shelf
in that closet can hold 50 rolls of TP. We store a vacuum cleaner in
that closet, a broom, and some other items like a large box of Tide.
An extra roll of TP sits on the toilet tank lid. We always buy scott
in jumbo bales, the kind of rolls with the paper over wrap. We have
steel shelving units in the basement for storing extra bales of TP and
paper towels. We have an entire basement wall of steel shelving
units, 11 units, the 24" deep ones, for storing all kinds of things
like canned foods... each has five shelves that are adjustable.
I've no idea what you mean by a TP storage container. We have a TP
dispenser in each bathroom, holds one roll of TP on a spindle... but
thats not a storage container, it's a single roll dispenser... I've
never encountered a brand of TP that wouldn't fit the dispenser, and
the dispensers are very adjustable, can be mounted shimmed out from
the wall and the sides can be mounted however far apart as one wants,
plus the spindle is spring loaded so gives a 1/2" width adjustment.

Most anything can be used as a TP storage container, a large
corrogated cardboard carton would suffice, or a wooden crate from the
produce department. We like to store TP so it's readily accessable.
Some of yoose gals probably store TP in your bra. ;) I know for a
fact that nursing moms store TP in their bra to absorb leakage.

As per the recipe, the cream is not necessary. In Canada, one liter of
milk is about $2.00. A lemon is about $0.50. This makes about 250
grams of ricotta. The price of ricotta cheese at WalMart is $4.97 for
475 grams.

So it's about the same to make it as it is to buy it.

I have no clue what cream costs here. I bought some in NY to make ice cream.
The only milk I ever have is the powdered kind. It's non-fat. Lemons are
expensive here. They were cheap in NY. I don't know grams. Just far easier
for me to buy it because I'd have to order the ingredients to make it.

Doesn't seem expensive at all. Here milk by the 1/2 gallon costs
about $2. Heavy cream is sold in pint containers at about $2. Fresh
lemons cost very little here. a two pound bag (7-8 lemons) cost about
$3.50... the bag of lemons lasts me over a month... one lemon lasts me
a week. I keep one in the fridge in a zip-loc and each evening I
slice off a wedge for my drinkipoo... I get 7-8 wedges from a lemon...
I slice the wedges one at a time, hold to the light so I can find any
seeds and pick them out with the point of a paring knife... all part
of my daily ritual. When I want lemon on my salad I'll squeeze a
wedge over and put the squeezed rind into my Crystal Palace glass and
leave it in the fridge for later. At the end of the night before bed
time I empty the glass with the rind and any remining ice out my
window, by morning the rind is gone, if cold out the ice is still
there. In winter deer aren't too fussy, they'll eat any vegetation
they find, even lemon rinds. Wild birds peck at citrus rinds all
year. I'm not sure if it's only deer that eat the vegetation I toss
outside, could be possoms, racoons, skunks, even chipmonks. Nothing
edible ever goes into the trash, critters love apple cores and
especially melon rinds... deer like banana peels. I cut up two small
pumpkins that we grew and used for decor, yesterday I tossed those
out, seeds too, all gone by morning. Sometimes a squirrel will tunnel
into a pumpkin and eat all the seeds, they'll eat squash seeds too.
When I scoop out seeds I see no point in putting them in the trash
when the critters will happily eat them. We grow more squash and
pumpkin than we can eat or give away. Even though critters won't eat
onion trimmings those go in the composter.

I've had it when we lived in Malta. Whether it was the real stuff or

Can't say we were thrilled with it.

It is still a light flavor but much better than the bland stuff. I had
it in Italy and was able to get it at a store in Providence but have not
seen it here.

Your friend, like you, is an idiot. Milk, citric acid, rennet. That's
it.

Fresh cheeses all have an underlying similarity. Paneer is very easy
to make. Well, it is if you're not an idiot, Droolie. That leaves you

Were I selling "traditional" buffalo milk mozzarella and Joe Blow was
selling "cow´s milk" mozzarella, I would do my best to bemoan, belittle
and besmirch Joe's product, even if "I" was a whole country. That´s
just good business.

This "everything" you speak of is a flawed concept. I've always wanted to
try a pizza crust with cream cheese, lox and capers. What´s not to like? I
think I could make that! I would have to make gravlax, because I can´t
afford the amount of lox it would take, but gravlax is easy.

And thatâEURTMs exactly what I would tell potential customers. The other
stuff may be terrific and tastier than mine, but itâEURTMs not the real
thing. This ersatz item, way better and cheaper than mine, is not the real
thing.
We have Holland tulips and neighborhood tulips that look and last better, but
theyâEURTMre not the real thing.

You´d think, but many families were ruined by Dutch tulips. You should
care.

By the way, that´s a citation. When politics aren´t involved, Wikipedia

I never thought that any European countries were communist after about 1990.
I used to think that most European countries were more socialist than we
were. I don´t think that anymore.

It's not just about business.

Europe in general and Italy in particular are very fussy about their
products. If it's not made the traditional way from the traditional
ingredients, it's generally not permitted to carry the traditional name.
Even if it tastes really good.

My son used to run a brew pub for a French based franchise. One of
their big menu items used to be called flam but now seems to be called
flammehusche. It is basically a thin crust pizza with various toppings.
Not being pizza, they were not limited to the usual tomato sauce and
standard toppings.

I have posted before about the best pizza slice I ever had. It was from
a pizzeria in town and was just goat cheese and eggplant. It was
delicious. We frequently make vegetarian pizza and like to put slices
of eggplant on them.The idea of eggplant may scare some people, but it
is very good.

Called a "tarte flambée" in French, it's a specaility of Alsace. In its
basic form it is a thin crust spread with crème fraiche or sour cream,
thinly sliced onions and bacon.

It's not about the sheer quantity. It's about the cacophony of

Old farts will find this new food concept too overwhelming for them. The kids just love this stuff. I'm not sure how this stuff is baked. The crust is super thin and not pre-baked so how they're able to transfer it to the oven is a mystery. The crust comes out crisp and the top comes out relatively unscathed. This thing is done in a few minutes. That's a very good thing.
