This isn't shelf stable though. It's refrigerated. I've seen it with the
Egg Beaters.

No recipe. I mean we are leaving the house for an extended time, at some
place where we are unable to get food or there is that possibility and we
need to bring something with us.

Why not just use a "complete" mix and add local water? When I did
camping, I made my own with Sunnyfield pancake mix and added powdered
milk. Shelf stable, and on most trips, there's no need to carry the
water on your back. Does anyone vote for dehydrated water?

Dunno. I don't use the stuff. But I do know people that simply do not cook
so they might use the stuff. Or not. I haven't actually heard anyone
talking about it.

"Pop" to me is one of those suckers on a stick. Good thing they don't
call it "coke." That would be disorienting and confusing. :-)

Example. The dance convention. No fridge and limited amount of time to eat
or get food.

Obviously not...



I've always felt life is too short to give a hairy rat's butt what complete
strangers think of me. They'll assume the worst ayway because they hate
themselves and like to spread the misery so who cares?

Indeed! As a child and younger teen my best friend had some real issues and
always felt like people were staring at her or didn't like her. She took
great pains to blend into the background. She had determined that the best
color to wear was a blue/gray. She mostly wore that color all time. If not
that then navy blue. I wound up doing most of the talking for her when it
came to strangers because she was too fearful to do it.

We parted ways when we were older teens. She wasn't bringing anything into
my life and I certainly didn't need to be living hers for her. Which is
what it felt like at times.

I was raised to be an individual. And that is what I've always tried to be.

I live in the Seattle area,. Squealing the grocery store will result
in a LOT of stares. Screaming in a restaurant will also. If you and
your daughter really behave the way you say you do,. then no, your
behavior is not acceptable in public, even in Seattle.

People may not say anything to you, but the are thinking it.

Yes, there are a lot of other people who do what you mentioned, but
just because other people are doing strange and disrespectful things
in public, doesn't mean that it is acceptable. I see people yelling in
the grocery store, not washing their hands after using the bathroom,
rewarding their screaming kids with candy bars, etc. They may be doing
it, but it doesn't mean that most people consider it normal.

I grew up in Seattle, and we always called it pop. Then we moved to
Iowa, and everybody calls it soda. We are back in Seattle. A few
people around here call it soda, but most say pop.

When I went to Mexico, they called all pop - coke. That really puzzled
me.

Portable coolers work great. I have an electric cooler as well since I
go to cat shows on a regular basis. I can take it there on Friday
during the setup with lunch food, snacks, and drinks for the whole
weekend. If I know I won't have power,. then I use several blue packs
and some regular ice. I have several items that I rotate through at
various shows that work well me. Several salads that I like, some
casseroles that I can heat up in a crock pot (depending on the show),
sandwich materials, etc.

I have one too, but...

The problem was we were not anywhere near the room all day and couldn't get
there even if we wanted to. Plus I didn't bring it because we had been
promised a fridge which we didn't get.

I did bring an insulated lunch bag. But I couldn't bring a cooler into the
ballroom. There simply wasn't enough room.

And there was no way we could have done a crockpot or anything like that.
We were in one of the ballrooms from early in the morning until late at
night.

I'd go with a small cooler then and plan ahead with the food. I do
that at outdoor dog or horse shows. No way to prepare food. So, I may
have a bagel and cream cheese, a piece of fruit, and a sandwich.
Another thing I like is BBQ pork. There is one brand already prepared
that I like. And sometimes I make my own in advance. Or I may just
have pieces of chicken that I grill on a george foreman grill. If I am
going to be limited on food selection, I try to do mostly protein.
That keeps my energy up and helps if I get behind on eating.

I did plan ahead with the food. I didn't plan to bring much that needed to
be refrigerated because I had a feeling we would not get the fridge. And I
was right. If I go again, I will for sure bring the plug in cooler and
probably a small one I can put ice in. But we will have no way of cooking
anything. We don't get back to the room till midnight and have to be in the
ballroom at 7.

Growing up in the NYC area, it was the same thing, you'd just ask
for a coke. Even if they only carried Pepsi.

In my area of Scotland, all fizzy drinks are called 'ginger'! So, you would
need to specify orange ginger, or lemon ginger.. not sure about if you
wanted ginger pop Maybe ginger ginger

Oh, how funny! I like that, ginger. Is that what you call
Coca Cola type drinks, too?

"Things We Lost in the Fire" is a pretty good flick. Sorry to hear of
your fire.

There's nothing quite so happy, I think, as a guy making waffles. :-)

we buy specific things there. some for price, some for quality, but we only
go about once a month because its a very long way from our house, but since
its near where we buy our cigs its worth it, we also get some things for
work there,

I really like how clean it is

Why not just use a "complete" mix and add local water? When I did
camping, I made my own with Sunnyfield pancake mix and added powdered
milk. Shelf stable, and on most trips, there's no need to carry the
water on your back. Does anyone vote for dehydrated water?

Must have been Trinity County -- NorCal is "soda" country otherwise.
Or you lived in a pocket of Southerners.

Weird. My wife and I moved to Sonoma County in the late 70's and have
been here ever since. The only reference to calling a non-cola beverage
"coke" I've ever heard was from this group, and not from anybody local
to me. My wife says she's never heard it either. Now, it's true that
Sonoma County is pretty big, but that's strange.

I've moved around the US over the years.

Buffalo/Naigra Falls. Usually pop.

LA metro. Usually soda.

Raleigh. Usually coke.

Seattle/Tacoma. Usually soda.

Chicago. Close to a tie between soda and pop.

It seems to be regional and it seems pretty random.

I like velveeta sometimes. I just made some mac and cheese with
velveeta. Big pot because it freezes well. Each individual serving can
have some additional ingredients added as desired, so I don't add them
to the whole thing. I like to add ham or tuna; broccoli or peas works,
too.

Me too. I'm too guarded in what I say (note, I didn't say "write") in
my life, though I wear my emotions on my sleeve, as they say. I just
don't always say what I'm thinking if I think it is silly. Those who do
are always the ones who everyone gravitates to, IME. I tend to think
Julie is very real and how she acts in write is how she acts in person.

Around here, if you ask for coke and they only have pepsi, they make it
a point to tell you.
