I could not have said it better, April! Thank you! I shudder to think what the outcome would have been if a no-nothing comedian had put a rope and noose around a caricature of Pres. Obama's neck. God help us all.

"Are you coming on to me? ;)" Sorry, over this dumb blonde's head! LOL!
The freezer pads are for the little freezer which isn't frost-free. I didn't want the mess of having to defrost especially with it atop the little refrigerator. The pads prevent the frost from forming.

Before putting this dust up into the file marked 🙈🙉🙊, isn't it odd her first vile reply to you was not deleted? I had to log out to confirm as I have her on ignore.
Now back to your wish of writing about food...wonderful, glorious food! The ways to purchase, store and/or prepare when one has a smaller refrigerator. As stated before, I order from Schwann's and Omaha due to the inferior quality of foodstuffs here in south MS (oh, how I miss my beloved Publix!). Also, by shopping online from these company sites, I don't do impulse buying. I plan meals from my comfort chair.
By so doing presented a problem. All items arrive frozen, Omaha's in boxes, Schwann's mostly in bags. I have a 26 cu ft French door bottom freezer refrigerator. The huge freezer would normally accommodate weekly and beyond shopping. My first order from Omaha had me scrambling. Those beautiful well packaged boxes of meats would never fit in my freezer due to other items currently taking up space. While the Omaha items remained in the accompanying cooler containing dry ice, I proceeded with a clean out and re-arrangement of the items in my freezer. I then removed the contents from each box, saved the label and used freezer zip bags for easier freezer storage.
When I ordered from Schwann's, also frozen, mostly complete meals in bags, veggies, fruits, etc., I knew I needed extra freezer space. Since I had an extra little refrigerator only (4.5 cu ft) in my laundry room, I decided to purchase a similar size freezer which I stacked onto the little refrigerator. This would store the smaller items. Since it's not frost free I ordered two of the pads which prevent frost. How they work idk, but they do. One of these little freezers could be a solution for you dealing with a small refrigerator and the need for more freezer space.

Did I miss something? Why were your replies deleted? From what I read they were just retorts chastising a person who was being vicious with vile, profane attacks toward others, me included. Posters who post with vicious ad hominem attacks should be censored and their posts deleted. We, as other posters, should be permitted without further profanity or vile insults call to task those who spew their venom. I saw neither from you. IDK, maybe the Mod's reasoning is we shouldn't be part of a back and forth with such posters. Analogous to a bartender continuing to serve a drunk....egging it on, so to speak. Thoughts?
Re:The storing of mushrooms. Place a damp paper towel over them before putting them into the brown (lunch) bag. They need the dampness. I have stored mushrooms for as long as two weeks or longer. The paper towel needs to be kept damp during the storage time, if not they will dry out. I remove the shrink wrap and leave them in the container.
Just located this info on Reddit:"in Canada, you can install the Hola add-on, then go to the Xfinity site and click the Hola icon on the top right of your browser to make it think you're browsing from the U.S"
Also, how could I forget "The Fall" on Netflix? Edge of your seat thriller crime series.
"Justified"on Amazon Video
"Hell On Wheels" on Netflix not a crime series but we couldn't wait until the next episode
"Longmire" on Netflix
All great for mature audiences, but surprise, surprise NO F-Bombs! It is possible to have adult oriented programming without the cringe word. There is plenty of action, violence and sexual situations if that is your choice.
Also, "The Killing" on Netflix, but it's full of profanity. Chilling storyline.
Hmm? I don't know. All I do know is no one deserves the vile, vicious, profane attack levied at me. So...s/he doesn't exist...s/he is on Ignore. I do hope there will be a censure or whatever.
Why do you suppose some posters have to be so damn snarky? Your snide remarks add nothing, na da, to such a lightly generic, but interesting topic Catbookss posted. The symptoms of the turbulent world we are experiencing are coming through loud and clear with your remarks. Are you one of those who find it impossible to be civil?
Could you please, please with sugar on top, watch your language? You also seem bored with the topic at hand, so "turn the channel" to something more interesting to you.
I deleted my reply to the above as it was too much off topic.
Great! I'm curious as to what you produce and how many acres to sustain your lifestyle. It must be a 24/7 way of life. We had 5 acres where we planted a small vegetable garden. It was constant work, too much rain, too little rain, insects to battle, etc. Speaking of vegetables, the only item we can never acquire at the grocery which satisfies our taste buds are home grown tomatoes! (In reality a fruit) There's nothing like them. If a good farmer's market is available we may find them there.
Hmm, do you recall the film producer/director on IMDB? Could it be? Nah! I wonder what Elvis is thinking about this. Just thinking out loud....
Hi Cat,
Been out of service...Granddaughter visiting from FL Anyhow, I can't begin to tell you how many half loaves of bread I've pitched. I've attempted to be thrifty by making croutons, but husband doesn't like them. I suppose I could dry, pulse for dry crumbs then use for breading. But, I'm dilatory and the bread molds! We've been empty nesters for years and I still cook for four! Several weeks ago, I made homemade mac-n-cheese. Yep! A full 9 x 13 pan! It kept growing as I had to pour it out of a smaller casserole dish into a larger one!
I still continue to prepare a huge meal for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter. Tell me please where I can locate a 4 lb turkey, a ham smaller than a half, etc. I do a formal table, set ALL the many foods on the table, pour the wine, then we two sit down, look at the food (while I'm looking at the mess in the kitchen) say grace, serve the food....then sigh. By this time I'm not hungry! And...what to do with the leftovers? When we lived around the kids I could dole out the extras. I never gained from the BOGO deals as they always got the freebies. Since moving out of state I donate to Salvation Army.
But, to get to your point, I purchase most of my food these days from Schwan's home delivery. The food is better, meats are proportioned and the packaged meals feed less than what is stated, so little is leftover. By not going to the grocery I don't have the problem of impulse buying. I write a list of what is necessary and send my husband. I still have to toss food such as celery, lettuce, potatoes in the bag, mainly produce. My large dairy drawer seems to acquire OOD dairy products...got lost...and also moldy cheese at times. He purchased too much when on sale. Maybe that's why the mac-n-cheese dish kept growing! We purchase the Bob Evans and other like side dishes. Cuts down on throwaways. When thinking about it who makes the small amount of homemade mashed potatoes which are in the Bob Evans container? Not me, it's 5 lbs!
Don't you just detest nasty trolls? Such as the one who crawled out from under the bridge and interjected itself into this conversation. It has no common sense...nothing, zilch to offer in order to reply with substance! Good riddance!
"get better friends" Say what? Please explain? Are you now saying due to my friends, etc. being overweight they are not "better" in the friend department? You know...I've come to the conclusion that you are a jerk! No common sense, no rationale, a zero! Me thinks you is a nasty troll! Good bye!
Very true! In times past, not so long ago, women would not allow themselves to become the "porkers" they are. We have become fast food junkies, gamers, couch potatoes, etc. You know something is wrong when airlines are having to widen seats or sell two for one body to use!
We are dying out...and at an abnormality faster rate due to obesity. Why won't you accept that fact? Why do you not see the major health problems in this country are due to being overweight? You seem to defend those who are. Have you checked your BMI lately? I have. I'm not happy, so therefore I intend to do something about it. Everyone I know who is overweight has major health problems. Look at the people on the motorized carts at Walmart, the groceries, etc. They're overflowing the darn seat! Maybe if they lost some of that tonnage they could walk. Good Grief! Wise up!
