Hello I am a 40ish single male, disabled and love to cook. There is a
specific way that I cook that suits me best. It is all about bulk
cooking. The bulk cooking is precooking most of the foods and freezing
them so when I want something I just take it out of the freezer and
cook it. The way that I cook, using an air fryer uses a lot less fat
an estimated 75% less fat and it makes it easier to cook my foods
gluten free.
Heres an example, I like french fries, but deep frying frencfh fries
comes with a lot of excess fat that the fries absorb as they sit in
the oil while cooking. With an air fryer a few tablespoons are used
and the food comes out just as good in most cases, better in some, and
not as good in a very few. Anyway back to the fries. I use a mandolin
to slice my potatoes a uniform thickness then use a sharp knife to cut
the individual fries. I spray some oil onto the fries, shake it up a
bit and then air fry them at a low temp so that the center of the fry
cooks. Then I take them out and let them cool, then freeze them and
when I am ready for fries I take out my order and air fry them at a
high temp to crisp them up. When I do this I start with about three
large potatoes or about three pounds, I do not skin the potatoes cause
that would just be dumb.
So I have about three pounds of frozen half cooked french fries just
ready to have that last few minutes of cooking so they can be gobbled
up.
Since they are frozen cut and precooked I can use them for other
things as well. Such as hash browns or chili cheese fries or I posted
the recipe for in and out burgers animal fries which are outstanding.
I also do this with the chicken, that I use with several different
recipes.
Anyway thats all I have to say about that.....
as samwise gamgee says.... boil them, mash them, stick 'm in a stew

all. I very much dislike taking stuff out of the freezer to eat with some
exceptions. If I get a large amount of ground beef for a good price, I will
cook it and stow it in individual portions for the freezer. Either with just
salt and pepper or taco seasonings. I will do the same if I get a good price
on a large package of chicken breasts but I season only with salt and
pepper, and cut into bite sized pieces. I'm not a chicken lover but it is
available for my gardener or daughter if they want it. I also freeze
individual meatloaves only because I add a ton of veggies to mine and wind
up making a lot of them. I only do this maybe once a year. If I could find a
good hominy croquette recipe with no egg in it, I would do the same. Unless
perhaps I could come up with a way to make less at one time. My old recipe
with egg made a ton at once. That's the only reason I froze them.
I used to have extreme trouble standing. Used to have to get someone to buy
groceries for me as I couldn't walk at all. Could only scoot or crawl. I
bought a barstool. I sat on it and prepped veggies for the week. We eat a
lot of raw veggies here.
When I made the pot roast earlier, I cut the veggies up and had them ready
to go in all at once. I do the same when making Pad Thai. Also get the sauce
ready ahead of times. I would never cut up things like onions or potatoes
too far in advance though but an hour or two ahead of time seems fine.
I usually keep several cups of cooked beans and brown rice in the fridge. I
cook for my gardener. Those and tossed salad are the staples of his meals. I
do keep frozen veggies for him and also some cooked meat like ham steaks and
turkey breast. He can add this stuff, cheese and whatever else he wants and
have a suitable meal if I'm not here or if I don't cook that night. I also
buy corn tortillas for him.
Tonight I made a large, one pot meal. It should be enough for two days or
more. He can add beans and rice to it as he sees fit. He seems to be less
concerned with taste and more concerned with nutrition. I dunno. This sort
of thing does seem to work for us.
I often don't have an appetite. On these occasions, I might cook some white
rice and chicken broth or slap some refried beans on a tortilla and call it
good.

shittier cook and better at bullshitting than Julie AND Sheldon
combined. Now there is only one hurdle left, and that hurdle was
erected, faster, higher, stronger than any hurdle in RFC history and
costs 10X the price. While you're showed up carrying a literal 100lb
bag of krypotonite on your back (you call it gluten) while did all
it with just an impressive pocketfull of mixed nuts but at least
self-diagnosed himself fairly accurately.
So while I didn't get to congratulate you for using the "I'm so
misunderstood because I should be dead according to all the doctors,
who don't know anything anyway". That's practically the oldest
"trick" in the book (second one in the chapter "When You're Not
Feeling The Love" circa 1981. Even *I* tried a lesser version of
that and it took me 27 years to feel as if I'd redeemed myself
before the last two holdouts croaked suddenly within the last year.
So instead of telling you to "go suck a dick" as somebody here
recently said and then died, I wish best of the luck and keep up the
godo work! Which buys at least 24 more hours.

in the 1970's. I still have the books on my bookshelf. Amazing
story but the only thing I hated was how several separate events
happened all through that trilogy. You would just get into and
enjoy one story then next chapter is....meanwhile...and an
entirely different story started or continued. Kind of like a tv
soap opera. Make you wait. At least at the end, all stories come
together.
Anyway...I've never bothered to watch the movies. They always
change things from the books.
Same thing with any movie made from any book.

Next time you want to describe things going in and coming out of your

all, and I mean that literally NOTHING at all to do with being tested
for a gluten sensitivity or celiac for that matter then I knew at

talking smack and living their life as though they were gods gift to
the entire earth. There is a name for your affliction and in is called
compulsive lying. Some of my friends have it, my mother has it, and by
golly you are a confirmed case.....
Now whether or not you are ready and able to accept that you are no
superman and you do not have the knowledge of Zeus, but are in fact
quite ordinary possibly even below average means nothing and I mean
that literally IT MEANS NOTHING that has anything to do with anything
because quite frankly you are just not that important to anyone or
anything. I do realize that someone with your affliction can not fully
comprehend the things they do not know or understand so what they do
is make up lies and bullshit and them act as though they have been
certified an expert and then packaged it and slapped their stamp on it
as though they are the end all be all repository of knowledge about
it. But then some one comes along (which is me) who actually knows a
good deal about it, and has done proper research and experimentation
on it. It is in fact someone like me that can fully say with complete

'Lord of the Rings' trilogy. I still have those books on my shelves.
At least teens were reading books back then! What do they do now, tap
on smart phones?
I heard (and it's probably a Tolkien legend) J.R.R. wrote the books for
his son. Sent the trilogy off in chapters while he was away at war.
The timing in the 1940's works. <shrug> Likely a legend. :)
Did you know 'The Hobbit' was originally written as a children's book?
And I agree, most movies made from books suck. :)

But what I fail to realize is that if you are offended by my position
and the things that I know to be true then why are you still reading

You'll have to get used to the fact that people here cook differently
from you and aren't interested in buying additional gear to cook things
they either don't cook or already cook by some other means. Nor are
they interested in recipes for foods that are to your taste, but
not theirs.
It's a tough sell telling someone who's been cooking for longer than
you've been alive that you know better than they do.

really encouraged them to read. Thankfully, both have shown a love of books
although the youngest one was a bit of a challenge. He didn't see the need
for it as he has YouTube and really had a tantrum. My brother pretty much
told him when he gets through pissing and moaning to get over here and we're
going to read this book and he might as well accept it. Of course they are
just children's books but he read 2 or 3 per week now.

I'm sure the Thatcher bios make clear she was visionary in predicting

Not actual beliefs, a belief requires faith, faith requires a fairy to
believe in. Since I know that fairies are not real I need no faith and

society had banned, regardless of theory or content, and they elevated
cruelty to a major virtue because it contradicted society's humanitarian
and liberal hypocrisy." A horrified reaction to such expressions of
cruelty merely affirms the importance of being cruel. "Vulgarity,
with its cynical dismissal of respected standards and accepted theories,
carried with it a frank admission of the worst and a disregard for all
pretenses which were easily mistaken for courage and a new style of
life," she wrote.

often more than that if i can't get out in a storm
and want something to read. each time i find a
different perspective on something that i hadn't
noticed before.
i read them first in the early 70s too, along with
Dune they were books that stuck with me that i've
often gone back to for more re-reads than any other.

you do what you have to do to keep them entertained. If that means

others besides.
i don't watch tv and haven't for many years. if
it weren't for books i'd have been in sad shape
(before the age of the internet came along)...
Xanth was fun for a while, i liked a lot of Piers
Anthony's books and collected most of them and then
i thought i was going to move so i got rid of a lot
of my book collection and then a few weeks later it
turned out i didn't move so i had to try to get a
decent book collection built up again. a few of
those books i never have found again.
for hard science fiction i like Robert Forward's
books, but in recent times there've not been too
many author's i've followed much. Alistair Reynolds
is one i do like a lot.
in the elder days i like Saberhagen's Berzerker
series and, Gordon Dickson's books and ...

to the stuff she watches as i'm reading/or doing things on
the computer here. though recently i did get sucked into
the series Billions. that is done for now until the next

for vets/hospice or doing other things and then watches
t.v. and naps until she wakes up to go to bed... once
spring/summer kicks in we're outside more in the gardens

grade.
I no longer go to the library. I did go as a child and young adult but I
quit going when I felt I had read everything of interest. It was not
uncommon for me to get 10-12 books at a time. We could check them out for
two weeks at a time. I could easily read them all by then. I'm a very fast
reader and unless the book is unusually long, can finish it in two ours or
less.

We grew up with books all around; we had an elderly second cousin who was a librarian at the Oak
Park, Illinois, library, and we always got books for birthday and Christmas gifts. I remember
that all us kids complained about getting books as gifts, but apparently, it rubbed off on us. I
think every one of us four would read a cereal box if that was all there was to read. ;-))
We did have one rule, though: no books at the dinner table....until dessert. LOL.

one person can take out. I had pointed out the case of a woman taking
our more than 20 DVDs, and the family where the kids each had 20 or more
books. They have limits on loan periods, so it is perfectly reasonable
to have limits on items borrowed.

resource that buys books and other media to be shared by the members of
the community. We do have inter library loans, but it takes time to get
the books from the other libraries.

Each year we donate $10,000 to the library to be used for special projects.

Our town library is certainly buying lots of new books. The first row
of shelves is the new material and there is a constant turnover there.
they seem to have slowed down a bit on DVD acquisitions. Maybe they are
concerned about a change of format. It wasn't that long ago they were
buying VHS. Sadly, they stopped buying CDs and disposed of those they had.

I started out with them and loved my weekly comic book or two

100 copies. Another has over 400 waiting on 40 copies. When interest
flags, they'll send most of them to a re-seller for cents on the dollar.

Of course not. I've been homeless since shortly after you arrived
here. I tore my house down and am still trying to source a
gluten-free builder to build me a gluten-free house from 100%
certified gluten-free materials inside a big gluten-free bubble on
top of gluten-free dirt using gluten-free labor. The old house had
microscopic gluten particles in it.
Didn't you hear? Somebody killed Jesus and Gluten is The Devil.

intolerant person in the world that thinks he needs to avoid
microscopic gluten and any possibility of cross-contamination(*).

even worse than a bible thumper, all while not believing in

I did not know that Calgary had such a robust public library system, nice to know...
When I visited Prague in the late 70's (I was there both times for some weeks), I visited the lovely reading room/library in the Canadian Embassy, in those days when you were "behind the Iron Curtain" normal news from the West was thin on the ground, so I'd visit the reading rooms of the UK, US and Canadian Embasssies to catch up...

is way too much crap for them to put up with. Its little wonder that
books are so expensive these days. First of all there is the cost of
paper, ink and the presses. There are hefty shipping costs, mainly a
function on their weight. The real killer is the return cost. They have
to take back books that don't sell, and that some of those are in bad
shape. People browsing in book shops get their slimy fingers all over
the books. Then there are places like Chapters that have coffee shops
attached and cheap bastards "borrow" books and magazines from the store
and read then in the coffee shop. Then the marked up books are sent back
to the publisher.
