Post the recipe, please.

If you insist.

I don\'t remember marshmallows in it; perhaps I\'ve repressed that
memory.

For that authentic Midwestern texture, you have to overcook the rice in
plenty of water and drain it.

\"Perfect for summer.\"

Fortunately, we don\'t have summer here.

Boston Cream Pie... Probably could leave the cake out entirely and it

A good BCP is wonderful. When I was a kid in New Orleans, nobody
wanted to eat Yankee food so they renamed it Congo Pie.

My mother sometimes made a cherry chiffon cake that started with a
packaged mix. It wasn\'t bad if you squished a slice down to resemble real
cake.

You can make an excellent banana cream pie with a prefab pie shell and
vanilla Jello pudding.

them when it came to town and after the original owner retired they
dropped the bread entirely for dessert selections.

The best thing about the pumpernickel was it didn\'t sell well and by the

Sure. People have different tastes and different budgets. Some people

If you shop carefully, that spray-can whipped cream stuff isn\'t too

You have to read the ingredient list.

It\'s good to keep some real heavy cream around for sauces and stuff. I
can whip it up, in a beaker with my immersion blender, in about a
minute.

I don\'t do that kind of cooking. I prefer sauces like chermoula
or chimichurri: light, bright, acidic, and herbal.

Not me. I don\'t like heavy, acidic flavors. I am biased towards sweet,
creamy, smooth. Mo is Italian and makes heavy red sauces that she
simmers down for hours. My fix is to dilute them about 3:1 with heavy
cream and add cheeses and garlic and tweak the spices, a light orange
color when it\'s edible.

She likes grapefruit juice, and I\'d prefer to die of thirst first.



The Safeway in Oakland has Kraft singles, spray cheese, Cheez Whiz,
the
whole nine yards.

Kids like that sort of stuff. Do they still make Velveeta? I\'ve heard
of it being used on pipe threads.

Of course they still make Velveeta. I have some in my fridge. My
husband used to like it in omelettes, but he\'s gone off it in favor
of Whole Paycheck\'s American cheese. I suppose in another decade
it will go bad and I will throw it away.

Our Safeway (Diamond Heights) has a cheese island with some decent
stuff, but we go to Tower or Gus\'s or Canyon Market for better
cheese.
(Those stores are still in America.) Safeway doesn\'t have Cowgirl or
really good gouda.

I don\'t like cheese very much. Apart from Parmagiano-Reggiano and
Gruyere, I feel the less flavor the better. It\'s a convenient source
of protein, but that\'s about as far as I go.


See? People are different.

Yep. But you seem to have blinders on when it comes to ordinary
people and crappy food.

You seem to be snobby and intolerant. Do you live in Berkeley or the
Oakland Hills? I\'d bet you like nasty IPA\'s.


Safeway is for bulk shopping, milk and paper towels. Their rotesserie
chickens are OK and make great broth.

For you, perhaps. Millions of people use it for all their groceries.

We like farmers\' markets for good stuff. And the Farm Box weekly
delivery.

Safeway tends to have good stuff for a while and then replace it with
a house brand. Try to find World\'s Best Mac and Cheese, which Safeway
used to have.

Unlikely. I don\'t like mac and cheese. Never have.

And you have to go somewhere else for a really good bagel dog.

Ah. Thanks for inducing me to learn what a bagel dog is.

The French bake sausages inside baguettes. Same idea. The quality
range of available bagel dogs varies a lot, as does the range of hot
dogs and, well, most everything else.


Safeway bakes awful bread, but their bagels and donuts are good.

I\'m a terrible snob about bread. I buy it here:

Bread? In Michigan?

The benchmark here is the Tartine sourdough country loaf, hot from the

At least our sausages are, for the most part, all meat. We have

Audells is good. Our little Canyon Market makes a great sweet Italian
sausage... just a lump, like hamburger, without a casing.

Bulk sausage. We have a butcher shop that does a nice hot Italian
sausage.

Dang, I\'m hungry again.

It\'s almost breakfast time as I write this.

Ditto here now. I\'m in charge of breakfast. Today it\'s Peets and CDM

Yes, the aged products might have just been mislaid.
