She didn't want to hear her BF praising my cooking. She was Italian and a
lousy cook. She started every meal by frying dried spices in oil. She
couldn't read so she went by smell. Another thing she did was try to cobble
all the leftovers into a meal and in her eyes, nothing should ever be thrown
out. Mold? Scrape if off. Funny taste? Drown it in Worcestershire sauce. Her
BF told me she once did that to leftover cooked carrots.

Whenever she invited him to dinner, he'd call me to see if I was cooking. He
would only eat my cooking. I only ever tried something of hers once.
Spaghetti. I watched her cook it so I knew there was nothing old in there.
It was a combination of far too many spices, fried in Wesson oil, with the
addition of a can of tomato sauce. I can't remember now if the pasta was
cooked to the correct doneness or not. The finished dish had such an awful
taste to it, we had to spit it out. Another woman was dining with us as
well, All three of us spit it out at the same time.

I would have made another batch but she didn't have any more ingredients
except for the oil and spices.She was not my roommate at the time of this
incident. So it wasn't my kitchen.

I watch no TV. I do take surveys and know about the air fresheners and
laundry products. I hate taking those surveys because I have no use for
those products. They seem to be trying to find an excited audience for new
potential products. I'm not it,

I grew up in a house with cheap, spray air fresheners and solid ones
everywhere. I know from experience, if a person makes a bad poop smell, then
sprays that stuff, it doesn't cover up the poop smell. You just smell the
poop AND the spray.

It was a requirement in our house to spray, every time we used the bathroom.
As my brother or I walked out, one parent or the other would holler,
"Spray!" We always said we did but it got to the point where we'd just lie
and not use it. The stuff smelled sooo bad!

I contacted Walmart last night about an order that has been sitting in Kent
WA since the 27th. It was cereal, tea and green beans. The woman said they
considered the package to be lost so she would reship what they had and
refund what they were out of. No beans, no tea, and out of one kind of
cereal.

Because Walmart offered free shipping on any size order yesterday, I tried
to order those items again. Now the beans were in store only. Had to order
another brand for twice the price. The tea came in either one box, three
boxes, or five boxes. I had ordered the three. It appeared to be in stock,
but just in case, I went with the five boxes. I didn't bother checking on
the cereal. Because the order was so delayed, I got some cereal elsewhere.
We will probably run out of tea by the time I get the new order. Won't come
until the 9th now.

You take the damn surveys, but you HATE doing it? Is this something
the governor has mandated?

The ultimate convenience would be to take a dump(*) at the gas
station, use the provided toilet paper (assuming there is some), and
take a few squares for at home.

A friend of mine with 2 daughters and a wife are into that JIT
(Just-In-Time) restocking method, especially with toilet paper. I
used to stop at the gas station on the way over to their house to
get beer and a 4-roll pack of cheap gas station TP (*)
(unrequested). That's where they got all their TP and beer several
times a day, too.

ObFood: I'm eating an awesome meatball, provolone, romano, and Jimmy
John's pickled cherry pepper sandwich after getting my last 28-day
round of rabies shots and then shopping at Walmart. I find the
rabies shots help before shopping at Walmart. They have the best
hogie rolls (as odd as that may seem).

(*) if you haven't seen a "single roll" of TP in decades, they've
gotten 66% smaller and lighter than the single rolls of the 1980's.
And they're 1" narrower and the core cardboard is much bigger in
diameter.

Marvin 8:12-17

And it came to pass that jesus lifted up his robes and pounded the
holy sausage before the multitude. They all marveled when it
squirted. And they knelt to prey.

This I give unto ye, that ye may become wise unto mens.
And ye shall go forth and make thy sausage.

But ye shall never use mystery meat.

And ye shall never eat thy neighbor's sausage. Yeah, Ye may eat his
wife's squirting pussy, but not his sausage which he hath pounded.

Yeah, verily, I say unto ye that whosoever blasphemes the holy
sausage law shall be put to death.

Well gee, I guess most folks around here forgot to be part of the
"shitloads" who buy TP at the gas station back in March. LOL All I know
is the big stores and the dollar stores were sold out yet this little
Exxon station had many four roll packs. It was cheap, but surprisingly
soft. Not a brand I'd ever heard of. Not tons of sheets per roll but
hey, it was better than none. Point being, not many people around here
thought to look for TP at the gas station.

Give than man a Blue Ribbon! "She couldn't read so she went by smell."
So, she allegedly had an illiterate Italian roommate who liked to cook
but the roommate's boyfriend would call Julie to ask who is cooking
before coming over. This roommate also drowned things in Worcestershire
sauce to cover up mold. LOL You're right, this is one of the funniest
tales ever.

Don't forget "She was not my roommate at the time of this incident. So
it wasn't my kitchen." Gotta wonder why she *went back* so the three of
them could spit out this awful spaghetti meal together.

Can't wait for the next episode.

it is rather sickening, i can taste it in foods
cooked in homes that use them, the scents stick to
various surfaces.

we've had to take containers to some places if
there is enough for leftovers. when we've used
anything they have in the cupboards it tastes like
it was coated with soap. you go to have some
turkey and stuffing the next day and find out
you're eating soapy tasting food that used to be
excellent.

things like dryer sheets and fabric softeners are
really bad, but also a lot of dish detergents can be
pretty bad if someone doesn't rinse well enough or
their dishwasher doesn't rinse well. *gack*

Top Market has never been out of anything.

You'll notice the parking lot is filled with parked tractors.

The cashiers have enormous bosoms, and squirting pussies, so yoose
know yoose in the right grocery store.

Our motto is FOOD and ****!

Smile, I used a lot of scents but for a very different reason. Blind
Dog. It helped her orient and no, they were not 'strong levels' at
all. Each room had it's own 'scent' (except none needed on kitchen or
bathrooms).

I did the same with the yard fences and she could tell where she was
from the faint scents (to us, if we could smell them at all) of
Sandlewood vs Frankinscense vs Lavendar vs Myrrhah. The porch door to
the kitchen? Grin, kept a bacon grease jar near it that we used to
grease the bird feeder pole (keeps squirrels endlessly amused to try
then slide back down and lick their paws).

I'm waiting for her to tell about her squirting pussy and massive

I had a friend say that his clothes smelled like shit if he farted
when putting them in the dryer.

Some people have noses like bloodhounds I guess.

It's hilarious to watch! They jump up, slide down and make a soft
'plumphf' as they slide back down, then lick their paws and try again.
Ok, I find fun in simple things like that. ;-)

I use only food safe fats obviously as I don't want to hurt them.

The TP situation can be easily fixed, same as the did with gas back in
the 70's. If your birthday is an even number day you only poop on even
days. If your birthday is an odd number you only poop on odd number
days. Usage cut in half, no more shortage.

I sent off three hundred or so bucks to China for a guitar. That was months ago. Will I ever get it? Beats the heck out of me. That would be real nice.. Those pakes can sent a package to the dark side of the moon but getting a guitar six thousand miles away is a problem. That's so weird.

I bought soap at Big Lots years ago and had to toss it for that reason. No
matter how long I rinsed, the soap taste remained.

I haven't been to gas station in years. Not one that sells stuff anyway. I
almost always get my gas at Costco. If not there, then a gas place connoted
to a store like Fred Meyer, QFC or Safeway.

Typical man. You forgot that women use toilet paper 20-30 times a
day. Makeup removal, painting their toenails, stuffing their
bras... and lord knows what all else they do with it other than
peeing.

We should all go back to using xylospongiums - save the planet and
all.

Uh.... those are - get this - "gas stations". And as you note, they
are often connected to "stores".

Are you redefining them as "gas places"? Because that would be
silly, silly.

I've never met a woman who used toilet paper to remove makeup (or when
painting their toenails). Haven't had to stuff my bra since I was 12.

I'm frugal. I reuse the TP from peeing for makeup removal,
painting my toenails, and stuffing my bra.
