That would be 3 separate meals for me, thankyou.

In her original post, Ophelia didn't mention that she was cooking for
company. That would make a difference.

I was cooking the lasagne for the freezer, but unexpected company took care
of that. I didn't realise I had to be so specific.

It's _true_. Every wine drinking culture throughout history is wrong.

Nice list. Here it was hot, a lot, so on Saturday I made a simple onion +
tomato + EVO oil sauce for penne rigate at lunch and in the evening we had
aperitif in a pub and then went to a local pizzeria so not much cooking.
Sunday at lunch we had focaccia and cold cuts (salami, mortadella) and
cheeses (fresh caciotta, romano and parmigiano reggiano) then in the evening
I put together a dish of spinach stewed and then dressed with butter and
parmigiano reggiano.
Today it's rainy and cool, I'll probably be onto something for tonite.

My fave way to serve brussel sprouts, steamed w/ butter and parm.

Unfortunately, our only true Italian deli jes closed. Bad location.
I don't know how they survived as long as they did. No more imported
aged pecorino or parm for me.

Maybe because roasted red peppers are too frilly... I see them at most
stupidmarkets, look in the pickles/olives aisle. But this looks like
the best deal around:

I bought two jars today at The Dollar Store, Breckenridge Farms Label.
Haven't tasted them, and had not seen them there before. I like to roast my
own, but was curious after Dave said he buys jarred.

Costco has had them. I've also gotten huge jars of them in the ethnic
aisle of my food co-op. They are addictive.

12/17/2012 First to Review
I went in to buy cigarettes as I do twice a week for the last 6 months
and was given "short" cigarettes instead of the longer 100's style. I
was halfway out the door when I realized the mistake. The door hadn't
even had time to close behind me when I went back in to get the right
cigarettes. Had to wait behind a few other people at the cash
register but when I got there he said they have a policy that once you
leave the store you cannot return or exchange anything. I told him
the door never even closed behind me so technically I never left the
store. And more importantly you gave me the wrong cigarettes. It was
a simple exchange.

He said "No, you asked for 'Short' cigarettes", which was total BS as
I told him, "I do this twice a week, and you give me the correct
cigarettes every other time. The word "shorts" is not even in my
vocabulary." He still insisted those are what I asked for. Rather
than providing the simplest customer service he chose to argue with me
and insist I said something that I didn't. He refused to exchange the
cigarettes for the ones I originally asked for.

This is the same Shell station where a woman accused the store clerk
(Amirali Noorji Maknojia, age 44) of sexually assaulting her in the
bathroom back on March 4th, 2008 (story available in
http://Statesmen.com archives, author Tony Plohetski). While I didn't
exactly get raped in the sexual sense, I'm still amazed at the
treatment. It's clear that their pig-headed customer service still
has a quite a ways to go if hey can't even provide the most basic
customer service for regular customers.

Only raping and pillaging? No groupkilling on Saturdays?

Now we're going to be even more agonizingly slow.

Good job.
