Was that a picture of "Din Din" for 10/10/2007? Or an old picture? The
steak packaging that is displayed has a "Sell By" date of Aug. 22.

Are you kidding, with six cats I was lucky to get some... they can eat
faster than I can slice... I think they ate more than half.

My cauliflower and cabbage were small this year but still very good.

But my first attempt at growing celery surprised me, what a difference
from store bought, a rich aroma, remarkable flavor, and it's the
crunchiest! And I have five more still in the ground. Now I need to
perfect my celery growing, I need to plant them much closer together,
I found out that they grow more compact if they touch and they will
also self blanch... the one necessity however is a long growing season
(5 months) and plenty of water. I think anyone can grow celery, needs
very little space, a square foot will easily grow four bunches. So
now we know what to plant in that wet spot.

You'd think after that nice dinner I shouldn't be hungry, but I'm
starving. Why, because I get my flu shot tomorrow and at the same
time I'll get my yearly routine fasting blood test, no eating/drinking
from 9PM.

Geez, my cat just stares until I share a teensy taste of my pot roast.
Or turkey.

I guess that's what I read, that celery has a long growing season.
Interesting about growing them close together.

Heh. The minute I can't eat, I get hungry, too. Good luck with your
medical stuff.

An old steak. I usually don't freeze tender steak but this was one of
those I mentioned a while ago that were too good a price to forego.

Great looking garden stuff! That's the kind of stuff I can't grow because
my shady yard makes for a really short season. Are you going to be able to
eat everything before it over-matures in the garden or do you have a method
to avoid that?

One of mine does, and one doesn't. And I had a cat for 20 years
who never touched it.

Decent porterhouse here abouts is typically $9-$10lb, so I thought
these a bargain.

I can't see the point in name dropping top shelf booze when I'm gonna
use it to spike a blend of Fresca and orange soda.

Good observation, it was still about half frozen.

This time Fresca and orange soda... I've been known to use black
cherry soda with a wedge of lime.

Wish I could do that. But, the Italian woman across the street made a face
when I offered tomatoes. Said she hates them. Offered basil, and she asked
what you're supposed to use it for. House to the right: While devouring some
snow peas back in June, her son asked "Are these vegetables?" His parents
seem to eat nothing but meat and bread, and have politely refused offers of
lettuce & various other things. The kids still come over, though, to
self-medicate. :-)

Price Chopper - this explains some of your comments about your local stores.
Any others nearby? Grand Union?

I guess just saying No thanks wasn't an option.

I wish my neighbors would offer me tomatoes, no one has
vegetable gardens, though. I didn't grow tomatoes this year,
far too busy last spring. Next year. And I'm planting that
lettuce leaf basil people talked about, too.

When I read this, the first thing I thought about was that whole area
being "out of business".

I just saw a Price Choppers in Troy last week. Route 9, I think.
I'd heard of it and wondered if it was a regular grocery store or
what it was.

Thanks to the McDonald's right nearby that let me use
their men's room. Heh.

For a couple of years, I patronized a Price Chopper in Binghamton NY (a
strange little town). It reminded me of some Tops stores here in Rochester,
best described by my son and a friend of his when they were 15. Tops used to
have an ad jingle that went something like "Tops never stops...giving you
more". Occasionally, I'd end up at a Tops with the kid and his friend, and
at the time, it was their job to shock adults, smell bad and laugh at pretty
much anything. In the store, they'd follow me around, singing "Tops never
mops...look at the floor!"

It was true.

There's something very....wrong in that town. Half the old folks have faces
that are indistinguishable from potatoes. People drive down Main St going 6
mph, 24x7, for no apparent reason. It's like the living dead. And, I haven't
seen so much big hair on women since moving away from Queens.

I'm sure you've read this before and your other celery is still in the
ground but I'll post it again for anyone who might not know and it be
useful to them- Wrapping heads of celery in aluminum foil and storing in
the fridge has kept my celery crisp a lot longer than in the past when I
just kept in the plastic bag it comes in when purchased at the market.

Cauliflower was $3.00 at one market I went to yesterday. It was a lovely
head but a trifle small so I opted for the convenience of frozen instead.

You CAN'T tell the diff, that's why for home use I buy the very cheapest
vodka I can, one of my faves is the big plastic 1.75 litre bottle at a local
stupormarket chain, the label simply sez "Vodka", suits me fine for
$9.99...I like Fresca or Diet 7 - Up and a splash of OJ with mine. If I
have guests I'll cave and get Smirnoff...which in a _New York Times_ taste
test a few years beat out all the foofier brands...

When I'm out I drink vodka rocks, so I order a premium brand and there IS a
taste difference. Still, I laff at the dummies who order an Absolut or
Stoly Bloody Mary or whatever mixed drink, the well vodka will do just fine
for a mixed drink...

I grew two huge pots of tomatoes on the deck this year. One has since
died and is already in the composter but the other is still producing
and has a batch of green tomatoes on it as well as many new buds. Cool
weather has arrived today (80s) and I'm not sure how long until it gets
too cold? My fall back plan is a fried green tomato meal if nothing else?

When cold weather threatens the last of my tomatoes, I pick them
and sit them somewhere and use them as they ripen.

If I remember, next year I will try making fried green tomatoes
because when I did make them, I didn't care for them. Weird
because I *adore* fried pepper rings.

Have you tried wrapping green tomatoes in newspaper? They do
turn red tho' I don't think the flavor is the greatest.

I have absolutely no idea. But, it makes me appreciate my son even more.
He'll try absolutely anything, except raw tomatoes. I don't think he'd go
this far, either, but you never know:

A woman gets stung by a bee while playing golf. She heads for the pro shop
and asks if they have anything for bee stings. The guy says "We don't sell
anything like that, but maybe there's something in the first aid kid." While
rummaging through it, he asks "So, where did you get stung?" She says
"Between the first & second holes." He says "Well, I don't have anything
here that'll help, but I think your stance is too wide."

Heh. There was a man in the temporarily (during renovation)
unisex room. The nice guy tiling the men's room let me use
it. I didn't ask him to and I had the place to myself, of course.

Every now and then you read what goes on in the men's room.
No wonder you don't want anyone going in with you.

Of course, I couldn't resist the opportunity to make a bad pun based
on archaic slang.

I've never actually seen any of that, so it's couldn't be very common.

That's why guys give gals crap about going to the restroom together.
They have this inkling of a suspicion that something interesting might
be happening in there
