Thanks! I've had worse in restaurants & paid more, so I don't feel too bad.

Looking forward to using those baked-off yams for a substitute for pumpkin in bread & seeing how it goes. Luckily, exactly 16 oz.

We are primates, after all.

White & grey hair looks awesome.

I understand. Especially if you grow up around ppl who aren't equally hirsute.

We had a heavy It-Am pop where I grew up. They were also the ones with dark, glossy hair, huge eyes, & who tanned in the summer. I had envy. Why was I not Sophia Loren-eqsue?

I've been fighting a goatee for years. I might actually be Khazâd? I use a tiny electric on it every morning bc there are far too many to tweeze. The white ones are the most insulting bc it hasn't moved into my head hair in that color! I didn't know "mostly British Isles" ppl had this problem.

Thinking that if I had kids, pb & j might be fun on pretzel buns? Like pb filled pretzels? My head is spinning. Apple coffee cake in the oven, though. Trying to keep the oven constant, not on & off.

Will get a chance for a break before actual dinner prep, now. Whew.

I'm sure! Random things.

Once got frozen fish filets I'd never heard of. Me & fish. Ew. Black bean sauced it. That fixed it. LOL.

It is a good thing I look at it all as a game & a challenge.

"Chopped" was a favorite show of mine. A random basket of items? Cool.

Though, (and you will love this) I look at recipes for things like Zuppa alla Pavese & adore the simplicity of them.

thinking I would use them as a base for stuffing or that tomato pudding I mentioned last night.

I also got a papaya. I have tried eating papaya a few times over the years. Not really a fan. But you know I will wear out my thumb looking for a way to use it.

Little yams baking to freeze flesh, now.

logical cooking/eating pairing, especially for people with previous sensory issues & foods, it compounds dietary issues.

I got a couple packs of pretzel buns. Something I have never bought or eaten, & having a loaf of bread, I cubed them, dried them in the oven, put them in a zip top in the freezer

sometimes a scarcity of food, then suddenly, an abundance. It messes with the body's ability to regulate how it processes calories. It hoards calories when there are too few, then, suddenly, there too many, & it is still hoarding them.

When food gotten doesn't match up with health needs or even a

was in the hospital after the birth of one of his siblings, the only two things his dad could make. He also has a hard time eating these as an adult.

In the late 70s, one of the things we did on custodial weekends when my dad was still dating my stepmom was sit around the kitchen table with one of those little hamburger presses, a stack of wax paper squares, zip top bags, & ground beef he got at the commissary. They split it up. Fun times. 😂

Whenever you say "local specialty," you set my bells off. I know you don't like pork, but I bet they were incredible!

I would. Absolutely. But I haven't gotten a blender of any kind, yet, bc of lack of storage space & ability to compromise my sense of "it has to be quality" with the prices I have seen for immersion blenders. I have been stalking sale prices, though. The minute the sweet spot hits. My cart.

All the billboards for "Christmas on the Comstock" I have seen have been in Spanish & just, really?

Love the matching matchstick presentation of the ingredients.

I was lounging in bed like a lazy girl & Fred answered the door. I was surprised when I came out & saw the box! Super-nice! I had bread, eggs, milk, & butter on my grocery list.
