Easter Eggs

i think its because it was/is seen as a sign of prosperity to dine out, and
getting the box is against that... personally i paid for it, its mine, i am
expected to tip on the amount of the bill not on the percentage of food i
ate... and the portions really are so large we can usually get one or two
adittional meals if we eat in a nicer place... there is a casino eatery we
go to on occasion their lobster bisque is heavenly and pricey enough to
hurt, but if we each get a bowl of it, we can share one entree and usually
have at least another single lunch to take out, these portions are just
huge...

for bryan and john... the italian place at ameristar... entrees are mid
range in price but just huge in portions... except that bisque which i think
i could founder myself on,

The chicken eggs are dyed or are not dyed. The goose eggs are dyed,
spray-painted (the blues and the red and one of the black), or not
colored at all. The designs are melted crayon wax applied with the head
of a common pin.

I am easily amused. :-)

Later on you say you have all electric. Have you got a hob for
that wok? The biggest burner on my gas stove will 'run' my wok,
and I can stir fry with some success-- but the 55K BTU burner I got
last summer brings it to a whole 'nother level.

No. I have an emu egg and an ostrich egg; neither has a smooth shell.

we most often have a cooler in the van with water and ice so temp isn't an
issue, but when i could see even buffetts were overwhelming and talk about
freaking out on waste, Lee

Heh, that's the *only* time I make soup. Not a big soup fan although
I've made some decent soups in the past.

Chicken Sunday is on my coffee table right now.
I am familiar with Rechenka's Eggs.

Hey Jim, it's an electric Wok. It has settings from 1 to 10 and
mostly, for stir-fry, its always set on 10. It took a little getting
used to after using a traditional Wok over a flame, but I've adjusted
to it and can cook everything in it now that I ever could in the flame
one.

The closest one is Chehalis. I go to cat shows in Chehalis, Longview,
Portland, and a few other places in Oregon. So, we stop at Burgerville
for a group dinner after the show is over. One of my cat show friends
got us hooked.

I've heard they may open new restaurants up this way. They do cost
more, but the food is great, and we only get to go there once or
twice a month, so not a real biggie.

I wish other places would use the yukon gold potatoes. I make my
mashed potatoes with them, and they are the best.
 
i don't know about the cobra, but rattle snake has venom only in a sac in
its head, the meat is venom free, non venomous snakes are not ok to eat...

non bug eater.

ps. i have to veiw food as an adventure, i have several lists of stuff i
can't eat, list for migraines, lists for allergic reactions of differing
symptoms/degrees, list for killing the stomach... but what is left is still
fun... and even the NO lists with practice and care can mostly be enjoyed on
rare occasions... just a few i can never eat, lol

I rarely eat leftovers. I usually make only enough for the number of
people eating the meal, and if there is a little left it usually gets
pitched. We occasionally buy a roast and plan to use leftover meat, but
not the vegetables.

A few years ago my wife took my mother to a restaurant that is well
known for large portions. My mother had a hot roast beef sandwich. She
took the leftovers home and had warmed up roast beef for dinner that
night and the next two nights. Then the next day my wife, my brother and
I were theree for lunch and my mother served roast beef sdandwiches made
from the last of the leftovers.... seven meals made from the leftovers
from one restaurant meal.

I'm just disgusted by the amount of food I see PIG Americans waste.
It's shameful. Pig Americans order food in a restaurant, foul it with
their saliva, then leave it on their plates, half uneaten. Pig
Americans are privileged to do so. Perhaps God loves us more than
starving Ethiopians. A canine will overeat, the vomit up the excess,
as it is perfectly willing to eat its own vomit, while other dogs are
repelled by another dog's vomit. At least they are planning on eating
their ruined discard, whereas pig Americans just have the bussers toss
it into the garbage.

It's not a huge deal that you wasted that small amount of food, but
that you failed to think ahead of time about your daughter really only
using the eggs she is willing to eat, and explaining to her that the
reason for that is a respect for food, and sympathy for the hungry.
Both the Pagan and Christian traditions behind the Easter Egg thing
are tied up with moral teachings. I just spent the day reading a book
that espoused very bad morals, but that pointed out that we Americans
have become so dependent on convenience and creature comfort that we
seldom concern ourselves with the ethics of our actions.

This isn't a personal attack on you, but upon the schizo love for
food, coupled with disrespect for food that I see nearly every time I
dine out. Every time I waste food, I feel some shame.

I've never understood the mindset of adults who order an adult sized
portion for their small child or put an adult sized portion of food on
their plate at home. Agreed, it's wasteful because the people I'm
thinking of just toss out the leftovers.
