Aha, then that is why I couldn't find any but that one horrible recipe for sugary pasta! I did just look up Semla; and Mmmmm!

So, okay. We will make the one you had today just 6.5; so you can still have 1.5 more then.

They sound (and look) delicious!

Switching from green to red Bell Peppers had made my salad suppers so much more flavorful and enjoyable. Who would've thought? Would that I could find an equivalent tomato upgrade (that I can afford).

Sadly, Ken's Garlic Parmesan Dressing has been missing in action for some weeks now. It had become a salad staple. This is the second favored Ken's dressing to disappear on me.

This week's Fuji's look to be bottom of the barrel. Not much choice in the matter. Found only a few in the bin, just enough to see me until next grocery run.

Forgot to put eggs on the grocery list, meaning I didn't buy any. No biggie. I'm short one only for the week. Or is the two?
Decrepit
Well crap! First Ken's Garlic Parmesan disappears off shelves. Now, Hidden Valley Cheddar & Bacon Ranch is gone. That's two of my three dressing staples kaput.

On a positive note, this week's Fuji's look to be yummy. Won't know until tomorrow or Wednesday. They almost have to be better than the bottom-of-the-barrel Fuji's bought last week.

Am having a sub from the kiosk near Walmart's deli today for this week's splurge meal. I find them a much better deal that subway's offerings. Tastier. A better value for the money imo.

Guys. You will not believe this. I repeat: you will not believe this. But as I'm typing this, I have in front of me another semla.


Yes. This is my tenth (10th) semla for 2019. I did it. I actually did it.

Had Campbell's Healthy Select Chunky New England Clam Chowder for lunch. Haven't had Clam Chowder in ever so long. Now I remember why. Yuk! Won't buy it again...unless I live long enough to once again forget.

Had brown rice rather than lettuce with my veggies and tuna one supper this past week. Use to really enjoy it, but it just hasn't been the same since switching from frozen mixed veggies to fresh raw veggies, despite heating them enough to soften them just a tad. Rarely have rice at home anymore. This past Morning, on a lark, I bought a bottle of Prego Farmers' Market Four Cheese sauce. Boy does it go well with my rice, veggies, tuna combo! Super yummy. Haven't enjoyed supper so much if ages. (I like it so well I fully expect it to be discontinued within weeks.)

Was wrong about the Fuji's bought last Monday. Most are rather meh. Oddly, the best of the bunch were the very apples I expected the least from.

A bit of a victory on the Tomato front. Bought a pack of Sunset WildWonders tomatoes this past Monday. Very good! Not cheap, but worth extra if you enjoy tasty tomatoes, imo. Here's a YouTube review. I pretty much agree with the presenter's assessment.

** I have to agree with you on Campbell's New England Clam Chowder. I love New England Clam Chowder; and can't stand Campbell's version of it.

There are other brands that are better; but actually = I've never found a really good canned New England Clam Chowder. It just doesn't seem to hold up well canned. Even Progresso's isn't great (but a lot better than Campbell's).

It isn't the clams, they hold up very well in a can. I think it is the combination of the milk, potatoes, and clams being canned together; it just doesn't work well.

What I get when I want clams = I get a small can of Progresso brand "White Clam Sauce" and use it instead of Marinara sauce over Vermicelli. I put a nest of steamed broccoli on top of the Vermicelli on each plate; ladle the clam sauce over it to make sure to get a lot of clams in with the sauce; (in fact sometimes I add in a small tin of extra clams to the sauce when I heat it). Just as I'm serving it, I grate fresh Parmesan and Romano cheese over the top. You can't get a better meal than that in any Italian restaurant.

The fresh cheese just has such a wonderful flavor; and really makes a huge difference from using a pre-grated jar of something like "Kraft's Parmesan and Romano cheese" = but is more expensive. Sometimes the ladies at the grocery store Deli counter will cut me a smaller wedge of it than what size they normally sell; but if there are any leftovers = they do make an awesome addition to a salad.

Also, if you have any of the broccoli and fresh cheese left over from the dinner = makes a spectacular omelet the next day. I serve it with homemade hash browns; and my family loves that breakfast as much as they love the dinner (which they call "Green Spaghetti," laugh.gif

Also, since you like tuna so much = (for a different meal) you can make a serving of Vermicelli and frozen peas (both cooked, of course). = Just before serving mix in tuna fish and just enough Mayo to keep the spaghetti from sticking to itself. It makes a great hot meal, and even the leftovers make a great snack. My son even eats it cold like a pasta salad.

I have to agree with you on the flavor of fresh vegetables versus frozen. Frozen vegetables are flash cooked at their peak of flavor. It is like it seals the flavor into them. The fresh ones are shipped and sit = somewhere in all that they lose that moment where the taste was perfect that frozen vegetables catches.

Not all vegetables suffer from it, but peas = I like them much better frozen.

Wow, I've never seen these in the store! I LOVE tomatoes in my salads; but the really good ones I'd eat just by themselves like he was doing in the vid! I'm going to ask our grocer about these, would love to try them. So far the tastiest tomato I've had was the Roma = love them! If these beat the Roma, I'll be hooked, lol.

No Fuji's this week. Settled for Honey Crisps.

Been around a month since Campbell's Healthy Request Bean with Bacon soup disappeared. Asked a shelver about it during today's grocery run. He said he'd make sure an order was placed. Hope he follows through. BwB isn't my favorite soup, but it was during my long ago youth. For that reason I still buy a can every few weeks. Course back then I ate the full-strength regular version, with lots of saltine crackers crumbled into the bowl. These days no saltines, and Healthy Request only, due to its lack of MSG. (Pretty much all 'regular' Campbell's soups contain MSG, while its Healthy Request line doesn't.)

Bought more Wild Wonders tomatoes. Good stuff!

For the first time in what seems like ages, I lunched at my local all-you-can-eat faux Chinese buffet-of-choice during yesterday's weekly errand run. Hadn't planned to. But... visiting Sunday my brother laid down the law. I was to not bother getting him a card for his upcoming birthday, unless I bought from somewhere with a decent selection. He recommended Target. Our Target is in the local Mall. I needed to get him a present anyway, so added a mall Visit to my run. The Mall opens at 10am. That being the case, I left the house around 1015, shopped at the mall, drove to the buffet all of three blocks away, then swung by Wally World for groceries on the way home. (I normally begin my run NLT circa 0830 and am home for lunch.)

I worried I might not be in the mood for a big splurge meal. Turns out everything was super yummy. Except bread rolls. Those used to be heavy and flavorful. Some years back they became airy and all but tasteless. So airy they can be squeezed to marble size. Nor is there a viable substitute. They once served tasty garlic bread. It eventually morphed into something unappetizing, disappearing altogether 6m-1y ago. I knew what I was getting into when selecting a roll yesterday, so can't complain overmuch.

Chopsticks technique was unaffected by lack of recent practice, save a little uncertainty at the start.
