So I'm emptying out my fridge...

Um, last I heard everyone gets the same 24 hours a day... how many
hours do you cook a fish? And with folks I know and who know me we
know each others likes and dislikes, we are not going to spitefully
serve food that we know the other won't eat... everyone who invites me
for dinner knows I don't eat lamb so they either serve something else
or for that meal invite someone who likes lamb, and they'll catch me
next time. I'm certainly not going to invite someone for dinner who I
know doesn't eat fish and then serve that trout. I really don't buy
into your excuses... first you couldn't afford the money, and now it
sounds like you're anti-social. What excuses will you dredge up
next... I can hardly wait.

I don't spend much time in the grocery near the fish, either. I pass
by and grab salmon or steelhead fillets, depending on price or mood.
Not a lot of difference in taste, AFAICT, but the steelhead is usually
a buck or two cheaper per pound. The only rainbows I remember
seeing were frozen.

If I really have to have a trout, I drive a couple hours north and
drag them out of a stream. [there are lots of them closer-- but 1/2
the flavor is in the adventure] Even then- a bunch of little native
brook trout will beat the socks off the rainbows I might catch.

Trout is on the menu in a lot of the Adirondack diners and probably
most of the better restaurants. [not that there are a lot of them up
there-- but there are some great ones that survive]

I just checked a couple online menus of more or less local restaurants
down here in civilization-- and no trout.

Mr. Manly says that men who use scented soap or detergents of any kind
are flitboys. He also asserts that "If you have to ask what a flitboy
is, you probably are one."

Nonsense. Every business already schtinks from the products they sell
and use... you really need to get out more, Bwrrrryan.

I understand the attraction to scents. But this can be mostly satisfied
by sniffing them, not by wearing them or washing things in them.
If nothing else, even if you have no allergies the ability to appreciate
food and wine is degraded when there are scented products in the vicinity.

That's nonsense... you've obviously never eaten at a restaurant... I
don't want to smell your stinkin' lamb, liver, or shrimp while I'm
dining on beef... then I should stay home. I'd much rather the aroma
of Opium parfume wafting from my date's heaving bosom than your wife's
skanky franks n' beans flatulance. Anyone so offended by scents that
they want to impinge on other's rights to schtink however they like
needs to have their olfactory nerve severed. It's been my experience
that those who make the most noise about others are themselves the
biggest offenders. Obviously the odor of soap, toothpaste, and
deodorant is foriegn to you who don't bathe. I'll stop wearing
aftershave when yoose start washing your ass.

If that's the case, why not just make one laundry soap which everyone
will have to use as it's been certified not to have any fragrance.
Next we'd force the big companies to make only one hand soap
(fragrance free of course). Then if we really wanted to get silly how
about one book, one religion, one race, using your logic we'd all be
walking around yelling Heil. Your stupidity confounds me Bryan.

Why are you too stupid to know that?
What confounds you is your own stupidity. You probably like to smell
like Tide and FDS.

They do, and to me they stink of chemicals! I don't like them. Nor do I
like Tide or FDS. I use Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day and Method products for the
most part.

LOL! Yeah, there is a lot of cluelessness out there about food storage
safety.

I keep a big styro cooler like the kind used for shipping frozen steaks in
my car. When I shop more than one store, sometimes several in one trip,
perishables go in there along with frozen items, which serves to keep
everything nice and cold until I can get it home.

We have a three door commercial counter height fridge (on pneumatic tires!)
in our barbecue competition trailer. We also have an indoor outdoor
thermometer, the kind with the atomic clock and the remote sensor unit that
is intended to be placed outside. Instead we just throw the outdoor sensor
in the fridge and its temp is then shown on the wall display at all times.
Since we sometimes compete in ridiculous summer heat with spells of
accessing the fridge heavily, with a couple hundred bucks worth of meat and
other foods inside, it's damn important. But that puppy is a champ at
cooling down fast. You have to watch carefully where you put garnish greens
though or they will frost up. It's usually powered by either generator or
"rented" power access at competitions, but I'd hate to pay the bill for
running that thing inside. One or both of us usually sleep in there during
comps and on cool nights, within reason, the heat from that unit alone will
keep the place habitable.

Yes! My entire immediate family has some sort of food issues, save for my
husband, although he does have gout and should be eating for that. But I
digress. It is difficult to concoct a meal we all can/will eat, but it can
be done. The menu is very limited though.

I also tried to take everyone into account when I cooked for my husband's
family. MIL got to the point where all her food had to be minced or she
would choke on it. She could not eat bread unless it was in something like
a hot turkey sandwich, minced up. No raw veggies for her. FIL hated
onions. He and some others also had issues with various foods like tomatoes
because of GERD. That was a bit tough because they are Italian. One SIL
would not eat mashed potatoes. And then there were some of my nieces and
nephews who were very picky eaters.

When I knew we would be visiting, I spent many hours concocting menus we all
could eat. Sometimes I would serve something that one person didn't like or
couldn't eat but I would always make sure I had a nutritional equivalent
that they would or could eat.

I would never ever invite people over for dinner and hope they liked what I
was serving. I would always ask first if there were any food issues.
