All this speculation on preservatives and stabilizers is just that:
Unfound speculation. The cheapest, most inappropriate ingredient I've
seen in mustard is flour in honey mustard.

Cottage cheese.

Would you believe I used to think yogurt was merely a topping for cottage
cheese? That's because when my parents were on the Weight Watcher's diet,
that's what they ate. A scoop of cottage cheese with a small amount of
fruit flavored yogurt over the top like a sundae. Maybe that's still what
they do. I know I always find a partially eaten cup in their fridge.

I think if you saw the shows you'd have a better idea what we're
thinking. From your perspective, in your situation, all of this
compulsive purchasing makes more sense than it does to most
people. But when you see someone scooping up 37 bottles of
(what was that, Maalox or something?) and filling up their husband's
last place to sit and watch tv with boxes and boxes of pasta, you
get that these people have gone over the edge.


I don't think that's weird. I buy a year's worth of toothpaste online
as it's a kind you don't find in the store any longer, but it doesn't
take up a ton of room, I don't have to store it under the bed or
anything. Toothpaste is one of those things I don't like always
watching to be on sale, either. I would stock up anyway.

No. No room in the freezer. And I don't bake any more. I can't imagine
veggies in baked goods. We simply do not like the fruits that were coming
in the boxes. Like papayas.

We do eat a lot of cheese. I don't eat bananas at all. Once in a while
daughter will eat one. Four pounds of chicken would last us probably at
least 6 months. We eat very little meat.

I sometimes do turkey with gravy and mashed potatoes. But I just buy a
turkey breast and we can't ever finish it. We just don't like it all that
well.

It's not a problem. It's an open kitchen. The dining room light is usually
enough for me to see with. If I have to cook something at the stove, of
course I will turn the lights on. However there was a time where we had to
make do with battery operated lights. All of the lights in the ceiling had
burned out and I had no way to replace them. Until I called the electrician
and that was very expensive.

I don't like the taste or the texture. To me it's just awful. I don't like
ice cream either. Never did. Daughter will not eat any yogurt with fruit
in it.

Well that I could see.

The bread store here always gives you free stuff. But the free stuff is
always bread. The problem? We don't go there to buy bread. We buy beef
jerky because the brand they sell is gluten free. Sometimes we buy a few
other things. I have no use for the free bread. So most of the time I
don't take it. If I know I am going to visit someone who could use it, I
take it to them.

Well I couldn't. It all tastes bad to me! But my husband and daughter
usually won't eat anything past its pull date. Once in a while I can
convince them to try something that is a day or two past, but they always
complain and say the quality just isn't there any more.
