I've seen that show several times. Agree, 'Too Cute' is an apt name.
The thing I don't like about Animal Planet these days is shows have
degenerated into redneck crap. Gator Boys? Finding Bigfoot? Uh, no

No Super Bowl party here, hoping the game won't even be turned on.
Your method sounds fine, but I've never made super nachos, mainly
because I don't like all that stuff on my nachos -- however, I've
never been enamored with "stuffed" potatoes, so it figures.

I have some chicken that needs to be used for something and was
thinking about making tortilla soup.

The problem with the internet is there is no real tone of voice except
the words you've written and no facial cues... when someone deadpans,
they can always throw a wink if no one "gets it".

That's why emoticons were created. :-D

I notice Gary sometimes includes a wink or something. When he's
deadpan, it's sometimes hard to tell if he's kidding.

I don't know what the first part refers to as you snipped what I was
replying to. But the football package was paper plates shaped like
footballs that came with napkins that had pics of footballs on them.

Damn. With all this talk about Super Bowl parties - I thought it was
yesterday. You can only imagine how disappointed I was when hubby
told me it's not for another two weeks. How much planning does
someone have to do for these things??? It sounds like people never
entertain unless it's a stupid bowl.

Now I have to set up a kill filter for super bowl titles. Bah.

Actually, it's this coming Sunday, Feb. 2. Apparently it's only second to
Thanksgiving in food prepared and eaten so it takes planning if you're
having a crowd. I love Super Bowl, but we watch by ourselves now so we can
actually follow the game and we just have finger foods.

usually do anything special for those "occasions", either.

We don't usually either. Once in a while there will be a dessert. And I
try to make a meatless meal for husband on Christmas Eve. That's about it.

It's called TRIMMING POSTS so others don't have to wade through a bunch of shit. It's ETIQUETTE. I know that's a foreign concept to you, but do try it sometime.

Oh, mmmkay. So what was the point in buying that? You said you are going to be reading a book, and that you hope the old man will be gone during the game, so why did you buy theme garbage?

Yet again, the fatass is wrong. It's this Sunday, numb-nuts. I'm sure your husband was trying to get rid of you for another weekend by telling you it's two weeks from now LMAO

Uh... What? I said I would be reading a book? I don't think so. I rarely
read books at home. I reserve those for when I am out and have to wait
somewhere.

I don't have an old man. I have a husband who loves football and anything
about football. He also likes it when we use the goal post picks on his
sandwiches. Paper plates are not garbage. We like them! I got some with
hearts for Valentine's day.

I'm just curious... How can you justify the cost of paper plates
(especially the "themed" plates that are always more expensive) when
you've repeatedly claimed you need a new roof and other things around
your home? One package of "designer" plates isn't going to break
anyone's budget, but you seem to buy this stuff all the time.

What in the hell is your problem? I don't have to justify anything I buy to
you or anyone else here!

Have you factored in the cost of dish soap and hot water? In many cases,
paper plates are cheaper. And these were from Costco so hella cheap.

So our house needs a new roof! Unless you have a metal one on your house,
then I presume at some point, you will need one too. So? And things do
break! Are you saying that nothing ever breaks in *your* house?

This house was poorly constructed. We did not know this when we bought it
and although it would have affected *my* decision to buy, nothing could have
swayed my husband at the time. I did not want to buy a house at all and
would still prefer not to own one. But that's neither here nor there, is
it.

Things that have happened in the past.... Husband was unemployed after
retiring from the military. And the VA owed us money. The monthly payments
have been coming now since Sept. But they still owe us a big chunk
o'change. Again that's neither here nor there and I have given up holding
my breath on that. If we get it, fine. If we don't, no skin off my nose.
It's not *my* money and not my fight to fight.

Bottom line? Husband is employed now and has a very good job with lots of
perks.

So whatever was in the past, was in the past. That was then, this is now.

And I suspect by the time we do get the new roof (after the weather warms up
because that's the best time to put on a roof), we will have even more money
not only from saving it but also getting our income tax back which I presume
will be less than last year because we will have to pay to NY for 2013. He
was not living there long enough to have to pay for 2012.

Not that any of this is any of your business. It's not.

As for buying this stuff all the time, yeah! I do. I also buy it when it
is marked down to something like 90% off. And not just paper goods. But
soap and other things too. I have some liquid soap in the garage with an
Easter design on the bottle. I paid 30 cents for it. Some people might not
want an Easter design when it's not Easter but I don't care. I also don't
care if we are using Halloween or Christmas napkins and paper towels off
season. Granted I don't always find these bargains but I often do. That's
what I do! Look for bargains. And I know where to find them. I also have
seasonal nail files and lip balms.

You can do what you want to with your money. And I can do what I want to.
You might choose to take a vacation. That's one thing you won't ever see me
spending *my* money on. Not in the near future anyway because those things
are torture to me and I'd just rather not go places like that. A day trip
perhaps. But hope never ever to go on a plane again and wouldn't take a
cruise if I was paid to do so. Unless it was just a local little cruise.

I will spend my money on dance shows/concerts/recitals/whatever you want to
call them. That to me is a pleasant time.

Of course I do! I prefer the Watkins Grapefruit soap. Can't find it for a
good price and don't want to get it shipped any more so am looking for an
alternative. found some sort of green brand at Central Market but haven't
tried it yet. Do have a dishwasher but just prefer to wash by hand as I go.
Now if I were ever to prepare some sort of huge meal and dirty a lot of
dishes at once, I would likely use it. Seems I do use it perhaps 2-3 times
a year.

My breakfast is almost always toast. Seems perfectly silly to dirty a plate
for that so I use those little, super thin, uncoated paper plates. I try to
buy them when I find them on sale.

We also rarely all eat at one time. Often, the other two are getting their
own meal or snack and if they use a regular plate or bowl, chances of it
getting put back in the kitchen and rinsed by them is nil. I'll then find
the thing sometime later with crusty food on it. Unacceptable to me! So
for that reason alone, paper is better. Also, husband was cooking eggs in
the microwave with no fat. I didn't know this would happen but if you do
this in Corelle, the eggs weld onto the dish and it takes forever to scrub
them off. That is when I insisted he use paper bowls to cook them it.

We didn't used to use paper all the time but... We would have lot after
having to use it on cross country moves and once we got our housing and
until our household goods arrived. I know some people who make such moves
with a complete set of kitchen items just for the move. I don't know how
they do this as we barely had enough room in the van for the possessions we
did take with us.

So eating off of paper did not bother us. I also don't have a place to
store all sorts of seasonal dishes. I know people who have their
Valentine's dishes, Easter dishes, Christmas dishes, etc. We like festive
things so paper works well then too.

Really? With the dishwasher? How do you keep it from smelling bad in between
times? I'm curious.

Why would the dishwasher smell bad between uses? I've never had a
dishwasher smell bad. This one is fairly new. Can't remember exactly when
I got it. Perhaps 4-6 years ago? It's not like anything is getting in
there between uses and it's all clean in there. So... ?

If you don't use a dishwasher and you keep the door closed, it WILL
smell. There will always be food particles in the drain. Also, because
the gaskets tend to dry out if the dishwasher isn't used, you can
have a problem with leaking.

We make sure we run ours at least 3 times a week.

Because my manual (GE) says there should be a small amount of water left
after the cycle completes, and if I didn't run it for a long time, it would
smell. I was wondering how yours doesn't.

Weird. I have a GE and so long as I use the heated dry which I always do,
it's dry as a bone in there after it runs. I just checked mine a few nights
ago to make sure there weren't any dishes in there. There was a butter
knife. But it smelled just fine!

I do short wash, air dry. That's probably the difference.

Ah. I do regular wash and always hot dry.

Why did you spend hundreds of dollars for an appliance that only gets used 2-3 times a year? You sure are a wasteful person.
