Yeah, make eggs then throw them out. Makes a lot of sense. Why do
you not use plastic eggs? Oh wait, one of you nutters is probably
allergic to plastic, too. *eyeroll*

As I said before... How can you dye plastic eggs?

We do that at some places. But most appetizers are things we can't or won't
eat. Bob's Burgers and Brew does raw veggies with your choice of dressing
for dip. We get Italian but I don't eat the dressing.

Most restaurants do not make their soup from scratch and it almost always
has wheat in it so daughter can't have it. And I can't have quite a lot of
it because of my allergies. If there is any pasta it is out because there's
almost always egg. And it is usually too high in carbs for me. I do eat
black bean soup though, as I said.

I have to watch out for garlic. I am not allergic but it gives me horrid

I almost always have leftovers as the meals are just too much for me
to eat at one time. If some of the meal reheats better than some of
it, I will make sure to eat the part that doesn't reheat as well while
at the restaurant. At the Chinese restaurant, I will order another
side of fried rice to take home as I really like theirs.

I really like my toaster oven, which is a bit larger than the normal
little ones. I rarely use the large oven anymore. I got it at a yard
sale for a whole $15.

I don't eat enough hard boiled eggs to make it worthwhile, so what I
did when my kids were little was dye unboiled eggs. We did it for a
couple of weeks before Easter. It was always nice to open the door
and pick up a pretty egg to use.

--
I love cooking with wine.
Sometimes I even put it in the food.

this is one of my pet peeves, there is no shame in asking for a take away
box when dining out, often as soon as i see what has been served i ask for
the cotntainer, deplate what i will not eat and set it aside, not only do
people waste money in eateries, they are wasting money, if the food is worth
eating at the eatery, its most likeyly good enough to eat for another
meal...

as to the eggs, i think planned dying and discard of julie's eggs is not a
big deal, and when i suggested feeding the eggs to the kittys i actually
didn't think about her allergy... so the new suggestion is...

have angela mash them up and put them outside for the wildlife that is
lurking... even birds will eat them.

I'm just disgusted by the amount of food I see PIG Americans waste.
It's shameful. Pig Americans order food in a restaurant, foul it with
their saliva, then leave it on their plates, half uneaten. Pig
Americans are privileged to do so. Perhaps God loves us more than
starving Ethiopians. A canine will overeat, the vomit up the excess,
as it is perfectly willing to eat its own vomit, while other dogs are
repelled by another dog's vomit. At least they are planning on eating
their ruined discard, whereas pig Americans just have the bussers toss
it into the garbage.

It's not a huge deal that you wasted that small amount of food, but
that you failed to think ahead of time about your daughter really only
using the eggs she is willing to eat, and explaining to her that the
reason for that is a respect for food, and sympathy for the hungry.
Both the Pagan and Christian traditions behind the Easter Egg thing
are tied up with moral teachings. I just spent the day reading a book
that espoused very bad morals, but that pointed out that we Americans
have become so dependent on convenience and creature comfort that we
seldom concern ourselves with the ethics of our actions.

This isn't a personal attack on you, but upon the schizo love for
food, coupled with disrespect for food that I see nearly every time I
dine out. Every time I waste food, I feel some shame.

--Bryan

i think its because it was/is seen as a sign of prosperity to dine out, and
getting the box is against that... personally i paid for it, its mine, i am
expected to tip on the amount of the bill not on the percentage of food i
ate... and the portions really are so large we can usually get one or two
adittional meals if we eat in a nicer place... there is a casino eatery we
go to on occasion their lobster bisque is heavenly and pricey enough to
hurt, but if we each get a bowl of it, we can share one entree and usually
have at least another single lunch to take out, these portions are just
huge...

for bryan and john... the italian place at ameristar... entrees are mid
range in price but just huge in portions... except that bisque which i think
i could founder myself on,

Probably more about their texture... maybe in hot and sour soup.

That's exactly what restaurants in the US say, but in 99.9% of cases
it's doctored canned and I'm sure it's no different at your
restaurants... soup du jour is based on previous days entrees, soup is
how they use up LOs, no different than from-scratch home cooking.

I have a very difficult time imagining how Julie ever had a
daughter... can you imagine someone so picky and afflicted with
dislikes ever swaping spit let alone becoming impregnated and then
going through child birth... daughter has to be adopted... or at the
very least a product of a turkey baster. hehe

There are many restaurants in NYC that the Yuppies patronize because
they serve large enough portions that's there's enough for a brown bag
lunch or dinner the next day... some eateries actually specialize in
that service, they wrap up the LOs very nicely too. For a lot of
people who live and/or work in NYC money is not a big issue, time is.

We were invited to an overnighter. The hostess had dyed hard cooked
eggs and somehow put on a design. They were her centerpiece for
Easter night's dinner.
She served em with biscuits on Monday morning. Said it was
tradition for two ppl to crack their respective eggs before eating.
No waste in THAT house.

She also had choc. covered marshmallow eggs and I let myself go and
ate about 5 of em. Hadn't tasted those in 50 years.

Knock yourself out. I have not the interest, time, or equipment to do

There is a park across the street. I do have a tree allergy and I'm not
going to pay a fine for littering which is what would happen if I put food
on the ground there.

Seriously, no! I have to pay an exterminator. His advice was to take down
all bird feeders and to feed no wildlife. The rat problem here is extreme!

Bringing home doggie bags from restaurnats is nothing, look at how
many won't eat left overs from food prepared at home... I bet if
Chatty Cathy took a poll more than half (if honest) will admit that
they won't eat the same food two days in a row... and those who whine
the most about the prices at the grocery toss their LOs directly in
the trash, and most left overs that do make it to the fridge
eventually end up in the trash anyway. I don't think it has anything
to do with "ashamed", has all to do with being raised as an
irresponsible spoiled brat that never becomes a mature adult... shame
is not an emotion such infantile folks ever experience.

Yes. I used to live on Staten Island. Many places served huge food.
But... They also delivered. I'd get a delivery and we'd have food for 3 or
4 days.

Sadly if the gastroparesis gets much worse, that is what would happen.

i would rather waste a couple bucks on tossing the eggs than having the

For me I'm wheat intolerant and the only serious issue other than that I
know of is those yellow colored wild mushrooms. I think they are called
chanterelles. I remember they are delicious but I also remember chills
and halucinations. I've never touched one since just in case.

But trying new foods is also a goal for me. Probably I'll like it,
maybe not. The up side is much larger than the down side.

One of my strongest dislikes is parsnips. At the annual camp out last
weekend one dish was a lentil soup I liked. It had parsnips as an
ingredient. Someone managed to cook them in a way that did not bother
me. Nice.

It works at regular grocery stores if they have a good grocer section.
Meat sections with critter I have not yet tried is pretty challenging
these days.

In theory I might eventually try eating bugs from the land. I'm in no
hurry to end up in a situation where it's on the table there for me. ;^)

Egg war is a common tradition. First to crack loses.

Bwrrryan is obviously grossly exaggerating... the only portions of
restaurant meals I've ever seen that are too large are their checks.
Any restuarant that serves steak will have it on their menu in various
sizes, it will even indicate weight... only an imbecile exaggerator
such as Bwrrryan will order the 22 ounce porterhouse instead of the 12
ounce ny strip and then complain about excessively sized portions...
and no one said you had to order appetizer and dessert either... and
in more than fifty years I've never seen any restaurant that serves a
portion of french fries that's *too* large, I've not seen any
restaurant serve two baked potatoes either... maybe rug rats at the
fast food joints don't finish their food, but then blame the
irresponsible parents for ordering more than THAT brat could consume,
not the eatery.. if you are served too much food it's becaue you're
THAT brat who ordered too much. I've honestly never witnessed those
restaurants that serve portions larger than normal folks could eat...
there are only two reasons people leave uneaten food at restaurants,
they ordered too much (eyes bigger than stomach) or they simply
weren't hungry to begin with... I know people who purposely eat at
home before going out to eat with friends just so they won't have a
big bill, Bwrrrryan, but then complain to the other diners at the
table about how they can't eat such huge portions so just order a
salad and soup so the miserly *******s don't have to pay for a full
dinner, meanwhile they scarf up all the bread and butter they can
grab.... lots of folks do the same with booze to keep their bar bill
low, you'd be surprised at how many arrive already legally drunk on
box wine and then order one pricy bottle to impress their friends, you
know who you are, Bwrrrryan.

That's a wonderful way to look at it! I think exactly the same way.
People who are just picky eaters, (not based on any medical reasons),
bore me. "I don't like this" or "I hate that" are the two most common
things to hear one of them say about food.

>I do, however, draw the line at insects with the exception of aquatic
>crustaceans. <g>

I've tried insects. They taste like whatever they were cooked with or
in. Mostly it seems; garlic and oil or in the case of chocolate
covered ones, they taste like nothing but chocolate covered crunch.

Insects are eaten in most places as a substitute for the protein they
have no other way of acquiring. Its a survival thing, not a taste
thing.

I draw my own line at critters with venom still in them. Like
scorpions, spiders and snakes. No thanks. I don't care how safe it is
to eat, I'm not eating a King Cobra or any of its relatives.

All BS... if they were any good at all to begin with they'd have all
been eaten at the eatery... I've never been to a restaurant that
serves so large a portion of fries that a normal person couldn't
consume it all... even the fast food joints offer sm n' lg... and lg
is not very much. If the fries are too much it's only because you
ordered too much of everything else... probably saving room for that
slab of cheesecake you ordered for dessert... restaurants do NOT serve
excessively large portions, it's the exaggerators who order too much,
more likey they exaggerate their attempt to impress folks how they
don't over eat... nonsense... you cannot be fat from not over eating.

Difficult for me to believe that anyone heats up a whole oven just for
a few left over fries... I'd believe you brought home the fries to
feed critters, not to eat yourself.
