high value foods

AS, dear, you are what we commonly refer to as "a hoot an' a holler" lol

Thank you. I'll take that as a compliment.

As babies, their brains are still developing and they need the extra fat source, but after that, it's all just gravy.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no! Brains don't full develop until you are 10-12 years of age and even then, myelination continues until the early twenties and perhaps later.

Now, do you really want your kid driving your car?

remy,your list contains the ingredients for some nice comfort food,if someone so desires.

[mountain mama]

nell67, that is exactly what I was thinking....I could make some good comfort food with those ingredients.

[Rick]

Uh...he did list dog food.

[mountain mama]

Rick, you never know what the hubby is getting for dinner if he pisses off mama bad enough...

(scribbling note about being kinder to wife).

[Rick]

Remy, do you ever just sit around and, like, pick your nose or scratch? Do you even analyze when in the bathroom? Do you sometimes find yourself engaged in conversations with the mirror? Do you sometimes loose those conversations? Have you ever contemplated cloning your self for spare parts but decided not too, because the clone might keep YOU around for the parts? Does your wife keep you on a leash? I just gotta know!!

[Rick]

All good answers. I sort of thought you might loose one or two of those conversations. Personally, I've been known to scratch on occasion but that's just between us.

[mountain mama]

Do you even analyze when in the bathroom?
Depends on the task at hand.

no comments, PLEASE!!!! Really, it's just TOO easy.

[mountain mama]

no, of course not, but you do seem to open yourself up for some off-hand remarks

[Alpine_Sapper]

I thought you would have picked this one : "Do you sometimes find yourself engaged in conversations with the mirror?
Depends on the task at hand."

But i guess you are more of the "#1/#2" kind...
lol

I thought the comment was more of an adult stroke than simple exrement humor, but that's just me being mentally entrenched firmly in the gutter....

[mountain mama]

But i guess you are more of the "#1/#2" kind...

that wasn't the task I assumed you had "at hand"

[Alpine_Sapper]

that wasn'tthe task I assumed you had "in hand"

ha! I was right! unf unf unf. Take THAT! Gues it's true what they say MM, great minds think alike.

[mountain mama]

or in this case, warped minds lol

[Rick]

Uh, hello? Remember me? It was my question. I can make it anything I want? Let's see. Bathroom. A place of solitude. A place to be alone. I place to go and think or sit and stink. Naw! #1 or #2 works for me.

[Alpine_Sapper]

Did you hear something?

If anyone is looking for powdered milk that tastes very close to regular milk, you might try Nido by Nestle. I've seen it in Wal-Mart in the latin section. It's commonly sold in Latin countries. It is whole milk rather than fat free. You can probably find it in the internet too. I seldom use powdered milk of any kind, but it's ok for those who will.

Serve cold with a little vanilla - tastes fine.

I can’t really say we have any priority foods. We eat what tastes good to us. Our pantry is rotated through use. We stock-up on what we like and eat that. Beans and rice are a part of our diet, just as much as leftovers out of the fridge are. That is to say, a few times a week. We do have “luxury” items in the freezer, such as prepared foods and ice cream. I look at the freezer as storage for good times, not really for an emergency. I might be able to smoke/dry some of the meat if needed, but much will be cooked and gorged upon when the power goes out long term. We have a few months of food in the house and most any given time, and the MIL has even more at her place. We also have a garden and can much of what we produce from it (as well as some of the cheaper stuff from the local pick-your-own farm). I also get a cow or two a year from helping out at on friend’s farm.
I can’t really say that we “stock-up” really. Just save stuff from when it is season, and/or on sale. I guess it is just the way we were both raised.
