Pork

[penm...@aol.com]

Went to the market in town this morning while my wife went to her
watercolor painting class and then to her hair dresser, she wanted a
color touch up. I bought some nice salad fixings, two half gallons of
2% milk, two loaves of Jewish rye,, two heads of garlic, and a familu
pack of beautiful thick cut pork chops, six gorgeous zoftig center cut
loin chops, Froze four and got two beauties all seasoned and ready to
pan fry. But at early afternoon we both decided to have a small salad
and have the chops tomorrow. After the salad we crawled into bed for
dessert, it was pouring rain outside and dripping wet inside. Often
the best of times are unplanned. We are both quite satieated, we can
gorge on pork tomorrow. My wife caught me off guard so I never did
plan on what to prepare with the chops, I haven't a clue, I'm thinking
I'd desire a repeat performance.

Why did you not just buy a gallon of milk? Half gallons were all they had in
stock?

I don't drink milk unless it's on tap and my wife only uses it in
tea... bought in gallon containers it usually goes off before she can
finish it. She tells be to buy two half gallons and then she'll
freeze one. At our age milk on tap is non existant but its still
enjoyable to pretend.

I buy those because they fit in my little fridge. Gallons don't. I can put
two gallons in the big one but they take up most of the top shelf. We go
through a lot of milk so I try to keep extra.

I always buy a half gallon of whole milk at a time as I don't use
much. Just bought one a few days ago and 3 pints are now in the
freezer. As I use up one, I take another out the night before
I'll need it. No more milk going bad ever. If I ever need more,
like for some recipe, it's very easy to quick thaw another pint.

If I had more freezer space, I would buy a gallon at a time (and
freeze pints) as it is more cost effective.

[Dave Smith]

I buy milk in 4 liter bags.... actually a bag of three 1.3 liter bags.
Each of those bags will keep me going for at least a week. I get lactose
free milk and it has a long shelf life.

I buy, usually a gallon of milk per week. Sometimes I will have a bit less
than a half gallon left then I will buy a half gallon and pour it into the
gallon container. Needless to say, I drink a lot of milk; always have.

[Cindy Hamilton]

We're at about three gallons per week. I suppose if my husband's
shoulders get much worse I'll have to buy it by the half gallon. That'll
be annoying.

A gallon of milk at Kroger is $2.49 while a half gallon is $1.79. A quart of
cream is cheaper than 2 pints. Any of the name brand dairies that also have
their milk in the coolers is $3.99 - $4.99 per gallon. Organic milk is even
higher.

Around here, the greater the quantity of milk the cheaper is. One liter
(quart) runs about $2.79 most places, a two litre carton is about $3.50
and 4 liters is $4.49. I find it much cheaper to buy the 4 liter bags
and risk one going sour. I have been getting lactose free milk lately
and it is a lot more expensive that regular. It is still cheaper per
liter to get it 4 liters at a time, but I don't save as much. However,
there is less risk of it going bad, so no need to use it up for the sake
of using it up before it turns.

[A Moose in Love]

I don't drink much milk. About a quart per week. Actually a liter. A liter of milk here is about $2.79 or so. CDN.

DAMN, here, a good half gallon is $5 or ever $6.

He can lift a gallon now, although if the gallon is full he sets it
on the counter to pour. He's basically got no rotator cuff on the
right side, and the left is badly compromised.

I don't decant milk for storage. I believe it will make the milk
spoil quicker due to airborne contaminants in the receiving container.

You drink it enough that it is not likely to go sour on you. I get the
4 litre bags ( one bag containing three 1.3 litre bags) If if buy
regular milk, each one of those 1.3l bags will be opened for more than a
week before there are gone. The gallon might be open for close to a
month, so there is a good chance it will go sour before I use it. I
have to sort through the store's supply to get the one with the latest
use by date.

That is less of a problem with the lactose free milk that I buy. Its
shelf life is so much longer that it is not really an issue. They start
putting that stuff on sale when it gets closer to the use by date. Given
that it is twice the price of regular milk, I'll take my chances.

I have certainly had my share of injuries. I can't forget the first
time I had a rotator cuff injury when I was about 24. That was, by far,
the most painful injury I had ever had in my life. That held the painful
injury record for almost 30 years when I broke my collar bone.

Same here. They know that 99% of the shopper that come in for milk will most
likely walk out with more items. Draw them in with a good price for moo
juice and they'll spend bigger bucks in other areas of the store.

[Cindy Hamilton]

The joke's on them. I shop there for the quality of the vegetables. The
rock-bottom price on milk is just the icing on the cake.

Cindy Hamilton

[Dave Smith]

It must be an important factor for a lot of choppers because around here
the price of milk is just about the same everywhere. The various grocery
chains, independents and convenience stores all sell it for the same
price. I guess they don't want people going to other stores to take
advantage of their milk prices and doing the rest of their chopping
there too. I presume that they are also hoping for some customer
loyalty. They all want to be the go to store for the people who come for
milk. It is similar to the use of express checkouts. They get more bang
for the buck from the shoppers with a cartful of groceries than they do
from the 8 items or less, but what they are aiming for is insuring that
those people will come back instead of discovering the competition.

The convenience-store price here is about double what I pay at the
grocery store. I don't comparison shop grocery stores, so I don't
know if everybody charges the same. ISTR my previous store charged
more than $1.99/gallon, but it was a much smaller chain than the
place I shop now (which has its own brand of milk).

I am pretty sure that convenience store milk used to be a lot more
expensive than grocery stores. Not being a milk drinker, I was never in
the habit of buying it there. I was surprised a year or two ago when we
actually needed to get some milk and found they charged the same as the
grocery stores. Eggs are competitive too.

The one time I bought lactose free milk (can't remember why since I
don't have lactose issues, maybe it was on sale) it lasted much longer
beyond the sell by date than regular milk would have. Turns out it's
the pasturization process that makes the difference. I've not seen

No, you do not decant the milk into the pitcher. There is a large bag
that contains three smaller bags. The small bags are set insider the
pitcher and then you snip off the corner of that bag and pour the milk.

before she could finish it so she keeps one 1/2 gallon in the freezer.
We tried buying the one gallon size because it costs less but more
often than not it sours before it's finished so tossing some out there
is no savings.

Still seems like an unnecessary step and not very convenient.

FWIW, I only buy thick cut pork chops when I plan to stuff them. For
pan frying thinner cuts work better.

Help me understand how your having been married four times is supposed
to be some sort of testimonial.

I didn't divorce my husband because of sexual incompatibility. There
is, or at least there should be, much more involved in a successful
relationship.

Sorry, I seem to have forgotten what you believe you explained to me in
long ago emails.

I freely admit marrying my ex- was a mistake. He had this odd idea that
once we got married I became his property. Let me state for the record:
I never cheated on him. He accused *me* often enough. Guilt from the
Gander?

I got a call one morning on my way out the door to work: his boss wanted
to know how he was doing. What? He said he'd been sick. Boss just
calling to check on him. He'd been getting up and leaving the house
dressed for work every morning but he hadn't been there for two weeks.
I have *no* idea where he'd been going.

After the divorce he harrassed and stalked me for *two years*. I was
working as a secretary and had to get permission from my manager to tape
the incoming phone calls. He stalked me. He showed up in the parking
lot at work and just sat there next to my car.

Later, he vandalized my car while it was sitting in my parents'
driveway. I took pictures of that. He left me cards in my mail box.
Thanks to the tapes and photographic evidence I pressed charges and had
him thrown in prison.

It was difficult to do. Initially I was told it was not a matter for
the police, it was a "civil" matter. A "domestic dispute". Uh... we're
not domestic, we're divorced. There were no stalking laws on the books
in TN in the 1980's. So the phone calls and following me around weren't
considered criminal. Vandalizing my car was. I was allowed to present
the stalking/harrassment tapes and such into the proceedings at that
point. He was convicted on "malicious mischief" charges. The judge and
the prosecutor threw the book at him. Too bad the book only allowed 11/29.

He never bothered me again. LOL Don't mess with Jill.

Congrats! Really. You do know living alone doesn't mean "lonely", right?

I don't care for the texture of onions but I sure as heck do cook with
them. A fine mince and they must be cooked until tender. When I say
"saute" I mean "soft".

Jill

[jmcquown]

That's true of course. It also depends on what he's calling "thick cut"
pork chops. The thick cuts I find are at least 2 inches. Those, I
split and stuff and cook (roast) them totally in the oven.

Simply my opinion, I prefer 1/2" loin chops when pan frying. We can
forget all about the zoftig comment. ;)

I live alone and I'm not lonely. I like it.

Sheldon gave up onions for his wife. I wouldn't do that.
I would just cook 2 versions of a meal.

He sounds mentally ill. With my first three after we split I never
saw or spoke to them again, I've no idea if they're still alive.

I tried living alone, I hated it. I think living alone is easier for
women because single women are more accepting of other single women.
Most men are too competitive, constantly having to outdo each other
and boasting/exaggerating about everything. Even as adults they
behave like kids playing sports. I never enjoyed male company and
still don't... sometimes I just tolerate them. I find that most men
are all mouth and no ears, there's never any conversation, it's all
about their boring minutia, they are still like children constantly
showing off their toy box.

My living alone days were when I was much younger and I really didn't
like all the alone time, nor was I ever one to hang at a bar, which
was what most single guys did and still do. Now that I'm a lot older
I don't mind stints of being alone for a day or two. However I know I
wouldn't like being alone all the time.

She likes plain white rice so that's what we had with the sausages,
and I know to make extra so she can freeze some to have later.

I enjoy onions well cooked or raw. I like raw onions in all kinds of
salads and in some sandwiches. I get my share of onions when my wife
is not home, like today she will be playing in a golf tournament all
afternoon. I'm welcome to attend but I don't play golf and I find it
boring to watch. I'll be pruning three trees, two crab apple and one
maple... their lower growth has gotten too much for the tractor to mow
underneath, so we've been using a push mower, only they are in
different directions making it a long walk pushing a mower.
The golf club puts out lunch before the tournament starts, typically
burgers. I'll likely have a tuna sald sandwich with raw onion. I've
switched to sweet onions, I like them more than the sharp tasting
onions.

[penm...@aol.com]

That's why you live alone... loners never learned to get along with
others... you would never make it in the military. I don't mind at
all cooking for my wife and making what she likes... she gave up lamb
chops for me. I didn't give up onions, truth is I wouldn't eat onions
all that often anyway, and I still cook with onions because I know how
to sneak some in, for stews I add a couple whole that I can easily
fish out for me, for pasta sauce I'll add some onion but mince it so
fine it dissolves and don't use too much, plus I use enough garlic to
cover up the onion. When she visits her sons and grands they can eat
lamb, nothing can cover up that stench, maybe a skunk. Cooking for
400 aboard ship I learned to prepare foods so that everyone would eat
it. I don't mind catering to others, in fact I enjoy that, I get a
lot of satisfaction from pleasing others. I get along well with most
people because I'm good at compromising, it certainly appears that you
prefer living selfishly, I never think about giving up things for
others, to me compromising means sharing.

males either, they tolerate each other when needed.

I've had very few male friends, most of my friends were/are female.
And as I've gotten older most people I knew are now gone. I only keep
in touch with one person who served on the same ship with me and he
says most from that time are gone. He Lives in Brooklyn and used to
visit me here because his brother lived here but his brother passed on
so he no longer visits other than by phone. Kids I grew up with and
classmates who were friends are all gone. Of all the people I knew
from work most are gone except for two who are in nursing homes on the
other coast and are unable to hold a phone conversation. I recently
checked the Yellowbook phone directory for a neighbor women in
Shoreham NY, Long Island who I knew well because no one answers her
phone anymore, says Anna Mae Snyder; deceased.... she was a year
younger than me.

That's the only negative I've found about getting older is that most
everyone from the past is gone and its near impossible for older males
to become friends as they share no history. I joined organizations
and went to some meetings but then stopped going because there was no
comraderie, a two hour meeting once a month with no one speaking to
each other afterwards did nothing for me.

The irony is that you described yourself and your behaviour here to a
T, but have absolutely no awareness of it.
