So I'm emptying out my fridge... "Omelet" wrote in message news[email protected]... 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.

So I'm emptying out my fridge... Re: [email protected] Julie Bove wrote: 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. MartyB

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.

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.

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.
So I'm emptying out my fridge... Bryan wrote: 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. Steve
