Home made egg noodles? Most folks don't bother, but it's not that much
extra work, and it's so much better. If I ordered chicken soup at a >restaurant, and it came with noodles from a bag, I'd never eat there again.

You never go to a restaurant anyway. That's way too expensive for a
redneck. (No, McDonalds, Popeye's, Zippy's, Muffy's and Dickie's
aren't restaurants, Bryan.)

I made some chicken soup with a Costco roast chicken. I just used a
thigh/leg piece in the slow cooker. I wanted some tomato in there but
there was no tomato so I used some Korean chili pepper for some
coloring. My daughter made some bread so there you go - dinner.

Ingredients and Authenticity
Clean labels: The standard round and square artisan sourdough

No commercial yeast: Authentic fermentation relies entirely on wild

All nice, but a 6"-high fresh hamburger tops all. With meat, bacon,
lettuce, onion, beetroot, sauce, garlic, tomato, pepper,
capsicum,lottsa salt, with buns properly toasted, and beer to wash it
down.
After work long ago at 1am we would get this at "Hamburger Max" a
sleazy joint with Max making the burgers from a huge pile of ground
beef. Lottsa low life in the joint, hazy with cigarette smoke. Then
repair to the car, with a CB radio and proceed to insult all truck
drivers within range. Ahhh them were the nights!

Does anyone else besides me find some of the food labels a bit goofy?
It's bread and bread is generally made of wheat. The labels states >ingredients: wheat flour and then goes on to state contains wheat.
Awfully glad they didn't leave us guessing what's in the bag. 😦

Does anyone else besides me find some of the food labels a bit goofy?
It's bread and bread is generally made of wheat. The labels states ingredients: wheat flour and then goes on to state contains wheat.
Awfully glad they didn't leave us guessing what's in the bag. 😦

Federal law requires packaged foods regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug >Administration (FDA) to clearly disclose the presence of the "Big 9"
major food allergens.

When they came out with their taco, I thought it was some pretty
awful food. Greasy shell that was mostly not crispy but soggy with a
weird filling that wasn't really identifiable. OTOH, I thought it was
a brilliant idea where you could get a new alternate kind of food
that could be prepared quickly from frozen using the available
equipment and materials. My wife and I will still eat one each
occasionally, we had some last night. Why? I don't know.
Dinner tonight was some kind of chicken pasta dish made by my
daughter. She also roasted some grapes and served it on bread with
goat cheese and honey.

Nope.
everything on the home shopping channels tends to be silver/gold

I don't think I've seen anything gold unless really expensive in a

Some of the companies have closed their doors or added non-jewelry
