Out? In?
Comments (25)Thanks plllog and prill:) Confession time...My canisters are from TJ Maxx Home Goods! I snapped up these for myself and mocha colored ones for my mom. They are airtight with rubber seals, and the canister lifts off the metal base for easy cleaning. Not to get off topic, but I love TJ! I have found so many good steals there. They sell this same style canister through Horchow in a cream color for WAY too much money. About 5 months ago I bought 6 french black distressed dining chairs from TJ for $99 a piece...just received Horchow in the mail and my EXACT chairs are in there (saw them online too), plus a matching table and buffet stand. The chairs are $1,000 for a set of 2!!!!! I also bought a Ralph Lauren mahogany coffee table for a fraction of the retail cost. Makes you realize the mark-up on furniture and accessories....See MoreStaples you really DO want to eat every week?
Comments (22)Adding in: coffee and tea, vinegar, mustard. Umm, wine. I seldom eat mayo or ketchup. grainlady, thanks for the seven survival foods -- I'd have to test the dried egg things to see if I react badly to them or not. One reason I plan to have chickens when I move! I know I am fine with whole eggs, and I go through about ten a week. I do keep coconut milk here, and will occasionally want milk-milk (as milk or as yogurt). I use butter or ghee, but it takes me about three or four months to go through a pound package. Fats - yes, to coconut oil, or to having some sort of healthy oil around -- I do use various types regularly. And there is plenty of coconut oil here. Citrus juice - I use a lot of lemon, lime and grapefruit, at the moment all fresh. Potatoes - I have a load of them from the farmer's markets I went to shortly before my accident. They are dwindling, but very good. I'll check out Golden Grill Hashbrown potatoes. Sound good to me! I have canned beef and pork (a friend and I put up); I have several packages of sardines (bought), I have canned cheese. I'm not really jonesing for the canned cheese, however. Not something that falls into the category of want to have every week/frequently. (Actually, the milk doesn't fall into that category, either...) Will have to check out freeze dried cheese. Maybe that tastes better. I still mean to order the tomato powder. Haven't really had any real urge for grains, beans/legumes or seeds. (And I have them here - grains being rice, wild rice, quinoa, and oatmeal) Seeds for sprouting micro-greens or just plain sprouts - great idea!!! Sweeteners -- Haven't touched either my honey, the maple syrup, or the palm sugar I have here. Yes, I did eat some dessert things people dropped off, but just out of obligation, not out of desire. Not a "staple" I really do want to eat every week!...See MoreMore Food Floof! The Must-Haves....
Comments (39)I second the request for the Chocolate Bread Pudding. There's not really any "must have"s here but I miss a few things: My godmother always made lefse and dinner rolls. They were both excellent. That poor sweet lady made them every year up until maybe a year or two before she died, and she was mid-90s when she died. And making homemade yeast rolls was plenty of work for people who have ever done it the old-fashioned way, and no, she didn't use a "Kitchen-Aid"! She got weaker in her old age and less able to stand for the long time. But she knew how popular they were and she always wanted to do it. And most of the time until her latter years, she'd walk to the grocery store (I'd guess maybe 1/2 mile away!) What a trooper! RIP my dear, you're missed in SO many ways! Making lefse is not easy either, especially by yourself! In the later years she couldn't roll it as thin as she used to but still gave it her best shot and it still was a treat. I've made lefse a few times. Should give it a try again but my limitations probably would affect it. And I can buy decent stuff from a couple places so I can still have a memory and a treat. Also my cousin used to (probably still does) make excellent iced sugar cookies. But the local "produce" store makes some that are pretty much identical so that fix is taken care of and even Lofthouse cookies are an adequate substitute. As far as other dishes, I can be pretty flexible but I have, in the past few years, been making a BBQ bacon ranch corn that I really enjoy and I'm getting back to really enjoying turkey again so I usually get a smoked turkey breast. Probably 20-30 years ago I started my own semi-tradition of having a "themed" holiday. Guess I got a little tired of the always-turkey or always-ham meals. One year it could be "comfort" foods, another "Italian", another was "diner" food, etc. And I always tried to add a new dish that I wanted to try that I hadn't made before. Keep some staples in there in case it didn't turn out. But it became quite popular with guests. And when the GFs didn't have to cook they always appreciated it no matter what I made! Could be 99¢ TV dinners and they probably wouldn't complain... too much. Uh, strike that. Yeah, they could complain. :)...See Moreamylou321
