A reverse grocery list

he does use the oven quite a bit, and many of the recipes i create are oven
types... i have refrained from asking him about that egg in the lasagna
thing as i fear his grandfather will roll over in his grave if i do...
lol... and speaking of ovens, what does everyone think of the self cleaning
function and of that timer function where you put something in and it turns
on and cooks when you set it to, the oven we had actually had it but we
never used it because we were both a little creeped out by the idea of food
sitting in there and not being cooked,

I use a shopping list program the iPhone. I've got 4 shopping lists.
ACME market, Produce market, Tradee Joer's and BJ Wholesale club. For
each list I draw from a master list I made. I can enter how many of what
item or just the item.

Where the lists really shine is when I put an item in the cart, I swipe
my finger across that item and it gets redlined and drops to the bottom
of the list. So I have What I Need at the top and a What I Have at the
bottom. Effectivvely both a forward and reverse shopping list. When
everything in a list is redlned, I'm done. It perfectly mimics written
lists in a much more convenient way, imho.

Next time I prepare to go to the ACME I call up that list and "un-
redline" those items I need and they float back up to the top. It sure
beats writing lists all the time.

The program is called ShopShop and is free at the App Store.

since i collect it i can answer, some peices have a ridg e around the
outside and an inset bottom, some have ribbed bottoms that go straight
across and some have a circular ribbed bottom and some as she said have the
feet, usually three or four, lots of these are special purpose things for
fires, fire places or slow simmers,

Lee, aka Stormee, is vision afflicted. I don't know if that is blind,
partially blind, whatever. She uses software that helps her post on
usenet and it's not always rfc (or any other group) compliant. She
top posts. Regardless, she's a sweethart and deserves a pass.

Lee, I apologize for speaking out of place, but I know you from other
groups and jes wanted the good folks here on rfc to know. If I
haven't said it before, I say it now. Welcome aboard. ;)

exactly they only became totally flat as time passed, please look up the
value of your peices so they don't get thrown away as unwanted, i don't have
my book anymore but you might be shocked at their value, as i KNOW what you
have is well maintained, and since you know the history and can sell that
with the peice, it will add to their value to a real collector,

lee, saying this knowing you won't ever get rid of them

I make a list 1 out of 20 times I go to thew store. And I know
everything I have in the kitchen so buying more of something I already
have is not a problem.

There is no way I could stick only to a list I made beforehand. I
take advantage of sales and deals, and what looks or sounds good.

If you're forgetful, sure - make a list of the items you know you
need. Otherwise I consider it pretty anal to make a list and stick to
ONLY those items.

Meanwhile, back to the OP



I really do have a serious thorough grocery list. Gone are the days
when Moma could send Junior down the block to get a fresh can of baking
power, at least for us. Grocery shopping here involves a long trip and is
not that much fun so we try to shop only every week or ten days.
We have a list on the computer that covers everything we might
need/want. I print it and circle what's missing as I look around in the
pantry, freezer and all. Sometimes I miss something on the list, usually I
pick up a few things that call to me. I'd rather be cooking than driving
down the highway. I'd rather be taking a nap. Polly (great-grandmother
and living way out in the Black Creek Swamp.)

I have two non-perishable items that I intend to return sitting on the

receipt away.

Mine is a Frigidaire and I use cast iron. The instructions did not say
anything about cooking with cast iron. This is my 2nd one with a glass

house.

I have a pad stuck to the refrigerator and write down staples as needed and
take it with me each time I shop. Fresh fruit, vegetables and meat are
bought based upon what looks best while in the store. I'll do some meal
planning based upon the fresh items I pick-up; if the green beans are
especially fresh, I might pickup ground pork to make Sichuan string beans
with pork or if skirt steak is available I will pickup everything I need to
make fajitas, etc.

I also take advantage of sales/specials to keep the pantry and freezer well
stocked.

cook on the glass top, I have no problem at all.

Making a weekly list of things I don't need would prevent me from
living, that list would be so long I'd not have time to pee... imagine
a list of every item Walmart, Lowe's and several other large shopping
emporiums stock except for a handful of items from each store stock
that I do need... wouldn't it make more sense to keep a list of just
those few items you do need? Normal folks make a list of what they DO
need, not what they DON'T need. Are you sure you haven't been
diagnosed with OCD (Obssessive Compulsive Disorder). You gotta be so
anal retentive that you only shit once a decade.

Ah, I lost track fast on the 'dream kitchen' thread you had. Too many
didn't trim posts at all and it was unreadable to my view within a day or
so.

They have some very nice double ovens with range top combined. Have you
selected one yet? I was looking at one when we replaced our old gas range
at last this past spring but it was more based on the range part which we
use. It's not a joke that I have to almost dust out the oven even today
(and literally had to in Japan as we used it so seldom). Boron would be
horrified (grin). I'd be equally horrified at someone having to dust off a
crockpot of course!

On the griswold, NICE stuff! Mine is all no name because it's so old, no
one tracks names of it anymore. There are 2 newer pieces though. One I
bought new about 25 years ago and one I got at a 'swapmeet' from a fellow
who said he'd gotten it for his wife 10 years earlier making it a baby of 40
years now. The other pieces, one is known to be at least 1850's and may be
earlier. The others, probably closer to circa 1900 or so is a guess. Some
of them were made to be used over a fireplace but work fine on my gas range
and can sit in the ashes of a fireplace as well (or out camping).
