I discovered that I had doubles and triples of a lot of certain things
on hand, mainly cuz I'd bought extras in error or took advantage of
sales.
Now on my fridge I keep a running list of things I DON'T need, such as
EVO, oatmeal, peppercorns, oregano, ( have enuf for 20 years) etc.
Keeps me from buying even more of the same.

Saves tying up more money and space. HTH.

I forget who has what in my family. My DIL's mother works for Apple,
so they have a lot of Apple products in their house, but I don't
remember if DIL uses an iPhone or a smart phone. DD's workplace
switched over to Apple computers last year. She used to have a
Blackberry (aka: Crackberry) as her work phone when they were PC, but
I don't remember if they switched over to iPhones or not. Husband
loves gadgets, so if one of them has an iPhone - he would have it.
So, I took the easy way out and sent everyone a blanket email about
the app. Thanks!

I like cranberry jelly better than the canned whole cranberry sauce.
Sauce it just way too sweet. I've never taken the time to melt it and
maybe add some lemon or lime to it to tart it up a bit. Some day,
I'll think about doing that before it's time to sit down to dinner and
eat.

Your experience is one reason I keep a grocery list and when I go to
the store I don't buy anything that is not on the list. ...unless I
come across a really unbeatable deal on meat or wine or such.

I have learned to check when my husband says, "We are out of...". We never
are.

No 1/16th inch or more rim? Odd but my stuff isn't 'new' at all. Some of
it is 100 years or so old now (I've had it 30 myself and wasn't new then).
I got 3 of the pieces off a lady who was 70 who got them from her
grandmother and had used them 50 years herself. They have a little 'bottom
lip' that would make contact first and a 1/4 to 1/16th rise (depending on
pan) above the rest of the flat surface before it touched the rest of the
bottom.

I don't have any that do not have this.

When the responsibility of buying the family's groceries fell to me, I
typed a list of everything we typically shopped for, arranged by the
aisles in the National. Then, before I went shopping, I made a pencil
mark by everything we were close to running out of. I could get in and
out in no time, and we never had to worry about where to store stuff
or when to eat it.

It is the first stove top of the sort that I have had, so I can make
no comparisons, but hence my dread.

I have lot of different cast iron pots and pans, from pre-seasoned
Lodge to Le Creuset in cost, from 60+years old to newly purchased.
Obviously, anything new I buy has a flat bottom, unless I plan on
using it only for baking.

Now, I didn't say I prefer glass top or recommend it to anyone else,
but the kitchen isn't piped for gas, and recommendations along these
lines are not my style, for the reason you state...you buy what you
prefer for your own kitchen.

I have an over-the-range- microwave, too, which Lee ruled out because
of large pots. My stove and micro are situated so that large pots -
the ones I call "baby boilers," fit quite comfortably. I also have an
under-micro exhaust that vents to the outside, too.

my posting style please email me privately as i do not discuss it on groups,
thanks,

we haven't definitely decided on gas or el. dh used to prefer gas but we
have used el for so long he doesn't want to change in a big way, el would be
easier for me but when i do cook its usually slow cooker or nuker, so
whatever he wants is what we will get, also because we will have gas heat i
think we will get lines run to the stove and dryer areas just in case we
want to change later.

he really is leaning towards the sleep number, which is kinda exciting for
me as it means i will be able to change the sheets on my own, i am too short
and my arms are too short to change the water bed sheets, but i will miss
those sewn on top sheets, Lee

"Oregano" just caught my eye. I learned that dried herbs have a shelf
life by accidentally buying some more when we still had some. I like
to replace them every year to get the fullest flavor.
 
we had a regular stove before but i originally wanted a built in double oven
as my mom has one and loves it... however the cheapo model at home depot is
almost 3k, and as we discussed replacement that went out the window. you
are right, the cast iron was one of the few things we were able to save, i
have a rather extensive collection of griswald that is an in use
collectable,

i had an inventory of what was in the freezer and when we got it or made it,
same for kitchen freezer everything else was right in the kitchen so when we
did the list it was easy for dh to check and it went even faster once i
discovered the on line ads, so he could just take my printed list and check
with everything else and mark something off if we shouldn't buy it, Lee
