Well, wrong on one count. :)

Your works have made you beautiful and if your success has allowed
you to get portly, then so be it.

Thanks, John!

But I do need to shed about 20# and get back to my high school weight
;-)

Sounds good! That's the kind of "soul food" I like to do. I make a
really nice meat loaf. When we had kids at home they would request it
at least once a week.

...Jim Thompson

Mac-Chee-Tuna-Pea With real grated cheese added, and bread crumbs
on top to be browned.

Cheap, easy, and very good.

Singles food, but brushing one's teeth is required if going out. :-]

When are you retards going to STOP fucking adding groups?

I'm here to stay little man. You leave and I leave, until then this group
is at my command. Thanks to you.

First, you'd have nothing, by way of "social skills" to teach
anyone...except maybe a New Orleans sewer rat....

Is that what those things were that were looting the stores? :-]
Second, what makes you think that either a soc.men poster OR a fat ugly
chip designer would be willing to lower himself to date you ?
But don't despair, Parg or catfish would probably have you...

Or Rosie O'Donnell.

My point was to shop around. Some items are cheaper in some stores,
and other items at other stores. For instance: I keep some canned meat
on hand for emergencies. I can pay over $3.00 a can for SPAM at the
higher priced stores, or $1.99 at Save-A-Lot. I can go even cheaper and
buy the Armour knockoff for $1.39 the same size can. At the end of
hurricane season it is usually given to a food bank, and replaced the
following year. A dozen cans, along with some canned vegetables will
get you through almost two weeks with no electricity. The stock varies
between 50 and 200 cans, depending on the time of year, or month.


I can't eat canned soup because of the excessive sodium. A single
can has more than a whole day's sodium. For tomato soup I use diced
tomato, onions and some spices. About the same calories, with a similar
taste and very little sodium.

Don't run all over town, but when you're already near a store that has
some bargains, stop in on your way home.

As far as bulk items, some things are stored in the bottom of a
closet. Others are stuffed in the kitchen cabinets, or linen closet.
If you are just feeding yourself, you can be creative. Fix a half dozen
meals at once and freeze or refrigerate the rest. A loaf of french
bread will make four sub sandwiches each, for under a buck each. Ham,
turkey, chicken, or even roast beef with cheese and a little pepperoni
or salami. Wrap it up and stick it in the freezer. 30 seconds in the
microwave and its ready to eat. Homemade soup or chili can be made in a
crock pot, and frozen, or refrigerated for about a week. Being
disabled, I can't always prepare a complete meal when I'm hungry, so i
do it when I can.

Thanks Michael, I do many of the things you suggest. For instance, I like
the multigrain bread such as Earthgrains produces. When I go to a client
in the downtown area, I go 2 blocks off the path and stock up on several
loaves of various breads directly from the bakery. Price is $1.19 per loaf
while at the store it is about $3.79.

I stock up on canned and frozen veggies. I get the bags of skinless boneless
chicken breast and if I make spaghetti sauce, I portion it into serving
sizes,
zip lock those and freeze them in a bowl to shape the food into a pot
friendly form. I groove my ground meats so I can snap off a serving
size and I usually cook all the bacon at one time. I have yet to make a
good
soup but I'm getting close. Beans are hard for me too...usually not much
flavor.

I keep powdered drinks and bottled water on hand.

I found that a frozen chicken breast on a white plate, covered by a large
salad
bowl will cook in the microwave oven in 6 to 8 minutes. The food can be
seasoned
while it is still frozen as well.

I never stored much canned meat except tuna & a manual can opener if needed!

I definitely won't go out of my way to get groceries but I do stop when I'm
already
in the area.

Save-A-Lot has a house brand bag of frozen sliced peppers and onions
for stir fry. A one pound bag of red, green and yellow peppers, with
thick slices of onion for 99 cents. I love to use it in my chili. I
make the chili in one of those new large oval crock pots, and cook it on
the lowest heat all day to get the best flavor.


I also buy frozen peas, corn, green beans, mixed vegetables and lima
beans for my homemade vegetable soup. i cheat when it comes to the
potatoes. I either use a bag of frozen shoestring cut fries, or instant
mashed potatoes. Carpal tunnel has made it too painful to slice
potatoes into tiny chunks. I also buy a restaurant supply bottle of
chopped, dried onions for the same reason.

If you mean soup beans, you need onions. Sweet onions, or if you can
get them Vadillia onions, when they are in season. There are no burning
eyes or strong odor with Vidallia onions. They are so sweet that I've
seen people slice and eat them.

It sounds like you're on the right track. I just thawed and cooked a
couple pieces of Tyson Boneless Skinless chicken breasts for supper. Its
about $2.05 a pound at Sam's Club in a 6.5 pound bag. ten minutes on
defrost, and ten minutes to cook. I have to take a lab sample in two
days so I can't have red meat or almost anything else I normally eat for
a few days, so its just chicken and potatoes for a few days. :(

Mmmm... grits. Yum!

Mix 'em with honey and they taste just like Cream of Wheat

And why, pray tell, would you want your grits to taste like cream of
wheat?

Leftover grits can be refrigerated to make it congeal, then sliced and
fried. Serve with butter and warm maple syrup, like pancakes. High
yumfactor. I wonder if blueberry fried grits would work?

And please note: "grits" is always singular.

I'd say you're lucky to be at home all day to do that but we know it's not
fun being injured / ill.

The beans are pinto and you must pick out the small rocks that are often
with them. I intend to made refritos (re fried) beans out of them. I
usually
put in yellow onions and garlic with chicken broth or buillion cubes.

I had a friend in Piqua, OH near Dayton and we used to go to the Hamvention
in April / May. His Mom made us vidallia sandwiches. This was my first
exposure to that great variety. There is a somewhat weaker similar onion
here
in Texas but I only have the produce sticker, no name.

On another subject, I recently received a letter indicating I was only 63
questions
away from an extra class license as the FCC has dropped all morse code
requirements.
That reminds me that I need to chase down the reason my audio amp in the
radio
has no volume. I'll bet an electro has gone bad. Until then, I'm on the
HT.

I used to live an hour south of Harra Arena, and probably hit the
dayton Hamfest 20+ times before moving south. Now its a 2000 mile round
trip. :(

One of my projects is a complete rebuild of a National NC-183R HF
bands amateur receiver. One EE tried to "Fix" it, and gave it to
another. He took a good look at it and gave it to me after he decided
not to tackle it.

Oh the memories! The ham babes (choke)!
I was on the committee through most of the 90's but if you didn't need
a press pass, you'd only have seen me carting one of the reporters in
a golf cart. Though it was I that located Clif Stoll in the flea market one
year. We asked him to be the guest speaker at the banquet for the next
year,
which he did. It was the same year that Shoemaker Levy 9 hit Jupiter.
Since Clif was then an astronomer specilizing in planetary atmospheres,
it was quite interesting speaking with him as we drove him from the airport
to his hotel. He is as animated in real life as we saw on Nova!

In reference to the people that mount a mobile antenna on a hard hat,
I wanted a 'This is your brain' followed by pic of fried bacon, 'This is
your brain on 440 MHz' T-Shirt.

What do you typically find wrong with the older receivers?

If they are untouched, its usually just a good cleaning, and a bunch
of bypass and coupling capacitors. If they are paper capacitors,
replace them. If some heavy handed "know it all" has been into it, it
can be almost anything. There are some bad pots, dirty switches and
variable capacitors, along with an occasional open coil. The worst is a
bad power transformer where some hack continued to use the equipment,
even though it had problems.

Bypass and coupling capacitors were usually paper, and even worse,
high acid paper. It breaks down with age and the capacitors become
leaky. The mica and silver mica caps are USUALLY ok, so they are only
changed, as needed.

Some carbon comp resistors may be out of tolerance enough to require
replacement, but most are 10% or 20% tolerance. Very early radios may
have been built with 50% tolerance resistors, and they have the same
markings as 20%

Follow up with a careful alignment and its ready to go.

I love parsley but worry that what is added as a garnish at
restaurants is not clean, because they didn't expect anybody
to eat it. But I eat it, anyway. I just added some seed to
pots I will grow tomatoes in.

Basil is the better companion plant, it repels insects attracted to
tomatoes, plus provides an excellent groundcover stemming weeds and
moisture loss.

[I've also noticed turtles and birds don't care for it much]

Also fresh (basil, tomatoes and mozarella) and balsamic vinegar make a GREAT
summer salad.

Another plant worth growing is Lavender
It's a natural bug repellent

I love outdoor plants. Black Thumbs of Death for anything potted, but
Goddess of the Green Thumb for everything in actual dirt.

Every thread you join is contaminated for the foreseeable future.

But you carry on with the Social Leper Pride March,

Pasta with a little butter and garlic, parsley from the back yard,
maybe 20 cents per serving. Grits and eggs, about the same. Potatoes
are, maybe, a few cents a serving. It's incredible how cheap food is.

When things are hopping... as they are now... 12-16 hour days preclude
cooking at home. And, given my rate, it's not economic to use the
time.

A worm's life. When things are "hopping" it means the poor and working
classes are getting screwed again.
When things are slow we use the outdoor kitchen extensively.

By the way, when my business is hopping, historically this has meant
that the general economy takes a dump... means the DEMONcRATS are
coming ;-)
