If they aren't absolutely fresh, just picked, or if they are even slightly
overcooked, they can turn "cabbagey" tasting. Brussel sprouts can either
be absolutely delicious or absolutely disgusting.

My husband and I both cook, as the spirit moves us, and we both try to
eat a lot of vegetables and limit carbs, especially refined carbs
(rice, pasta, etc.) We find that limiting carbs helps with weight
loss/weight maintainance. He sometimes makes pasta for himself only.
For guests, we cook what we think they would enjoy and I just eat what
I feel okay about eating of it.

When we lived in England in "75" my neighbor grew Brussels sprouts and
always shared...She would come over with a stalk of them...they were really
good, fresh off the stalk steamed and smothered with butter and a bit of
salt...that was a meal for me...since no one else liked them

She doesn't eat much. Just about a teaspoon at a time. Her main diet is
grainless.

That's the way I like them, too, Jacquie. I also like to cut them in half,
smear the cut side with butter, then pan-fry, cut side down, 'til they get
brown on the bottom. My daughter buys them on the stalk.

I buy them at a local market that has VERY fresh produce. I peel off any
bruised leaves on the outside, and cut them in half, lengthwise. I simmer
them in a small amount of water, so they steam, rather than boil.... then I
add salt, pepper, butter and squeeze about a half a lemon over them. Toss
and serve. They are delicious that way.

Overcooking ruins them. They turn cabbagey tasting. This is why I cut
them in half, so they cook quickly and evenly and I can shut off the flame
when they are just right. Also if they are not really fresh, I will pass
on them. A good clue is to notice if there ARE very many bruised or dry
looking leaves on the outside, or also if the color is off at all. Any
yellowing, or bruises, or dry looking leaves, don't bother buying them.

I tried cooking plain chicken for Maui when we went to NY. She was very
sick to her stomach at the time. I had been feeding her Meow Mix and the
flavor they had in NY wasn't the same. I finally figured out it was a
combination of that and the different water there. She had been getting
bottled water for the move across county. I gave her bottled water for a
while, the gradually added in the tap water and switched her to a premium
food. No more problems!

Now for some reason she loves cooked chicken and turkey. I brought her home
a piece of turkey on Thanksgiving and she wolfed it right down. She also
follows Angela around when she is having chicken or turkey for a snack. She
also loves bacon, but I know that isn't good for her.

Maui is very picky as to the canned she will eat. I can't tell you how many
cans we just donated to the food bank. I just hope they can use them! In
the winter there are pet food donation stations all around here but none
this time of the year. My SIL said she always gives pet food to the food
bank. We have a different one here than the one she gives to, so I hope
they take it too or will get it to some place that can use it.

I can not buy the large cans, even though they are cheaper. She will only
eat room temperature food, no matter the temperature of the room. She can
tell if it has been in the fridge, even if we try to warm it up. She just
won't eat it.

ahh, yes, the diet wars at home

well............ hubby has figured out what the 'free veggies' are and
what foods i limit

personally, Kraft Dinner is NOT my carb choice favourite, but i have a
couple tablespoons of it

i focus on the 'free veggies' and teenlet focuses on the carbs

hubby and i are both old enough that 'portion control' is an issue

My cats were the same on room temp foods. When I worked at a large Pet
Hospital in AK , we sometimes had to Microwave canned dog or cat food...the
smell was horrific...but some of the sicker patients would eat at all unless
their food was warm.

I tried the microwave. She wouldn't eat it. When she was eating the
pouches of food, I would sometimes run them under hot water. I was keeping
the extras in the garage and it could make them cold in the winter. That
trick seemed to work. Until she stopped eating the pouches altogether.

if they don't want the food find a petsmart or similar, they are usually
affiliated with a no kill shelter and have a donation bin somewhere in or in
front of the store, Lee

cats eat based a lot on smell so the smellier the better, but they also eat
on texture and nuking might screw up the texture... i have enough cats if i
were to feed canned, a large can wouldn't be an issue, Lee

Ours works with the Humane Society(which is not a No Kill Shelter) and other
rescue groups. They have 6 stores in Tucson and I believe they all work with
rescue groups.
Humane Societies may not take just any food some like their rescues on the

any pet food offered to us. We were Non Profit so freebies were a Blessing

One of them has a cat adoption room. I have not seen anything posted. The
other has a bus that comes around on Saturdays with cat adoptions. There is
also Paddywack. I did ask there via e-mail but got no response. In the
past they had a donation bin around Christmas time. Angela and I have been
visiting a nice cat there. But the last time we went, we couldn't visit
her. She was on antibiotics. We noticed the time prior that she was
sneezing. I guess I could ask them next time I go in.

The donation bins I have seen mainly give the food to the elderly and/or
poor people who have pets but can't afford proper food for them. I would
doubt that a shelter would have much use for the tiny cans of food I have.

Not necessarily. The ones I have seen all seem to feed dry food.

They take canned food for the sick ones or the kittens. At least the
shelters around here do.

I would think they would want kitten food and this was stuff for elderly
cats.

didn't know they worked with any non no kill shelters, interesting to know,

works to me to give it to the elderly for their pets, but the no kill
shelter i donate to is happy to take anything, they don't descriminate on
size or type, they use everything, and they even purchase special foods for
their diabetic cats and dogs, so anything is welcome to assist to save
money, Lee

they use canned when trying to get a cts weigh up or when sneaking in meds,
this is a subject close to me, and trust me, if they are a non profit they

that is welcome trust me, I don't even feed mine canned except for a treat,
when there is cat food on sale, or sometimes baby food with no onions i buy
it and donate, not one time has either of the two shelters i give to turned
away a food donation, sometimes i think they mix canned food on some dry dog
foods to get the dogs to eat, Lee

There are no more shelters around in this area. Used to be a really nice
one. Now there are just a few stores that take in some of the shelter cats.
But AFAIK they don't take food.

I have nothing to donate right now. I took all that she wouldn't eat to the
food bank donation bin.

Julie do look around and ask your vet. Maybe they know someplace. It is
a shame to waste perfectly good pet food especially during this time of need
when so many animals are being abandoned and shelters are so hard pressed.

That's good. There are poor people who have pets and they may be glad to
get it.

As I said... I have no more pet food that she won't eat. I have already
given it all away. We donate money to shelters regularly. But there are
none around here.

Moot point as there are no shelters around here.

Unfortunately some shelters...the ones that gets funds from the state cannot
turn animals away, so when they get full , the oldest are the first to go. I
have seen our Humane Society have 4 dogs per run to try not have to put them
down, but because of health and fire regs they are allowed so many animals.
The rescue group I helped start at Eglin AFB could turn animals away if we
were full...we were a no kill shelter. Petsmart has been a big help towards
getting the Humane Society's pets adopted. I was one of the first to do
adoptions when they started them here in Tucson.
Here is a little History about PetSmart.:
