just for "waitress bait" (tips). I do U$2 bills, U$1 coins and 50c
coins. It has the effect of making me remembered and always getting wonderful service rhw next time I'm at that venue.

Why is it most people in the USA don't use the $2 bill? Here we've
always used them (well it's been a coin for decades).

There is probably some superstition attached to it. Unlike the "Loonies"
and "Twonies" you guys use. I once had a waitress tell me she'd rather
have no tip at all rather than one of those "bad luck twos".

Proving once again that superstition is based in ignorance.

Another of my Two Buck (per serving) meals. And as I told Sean - these
days you'll have to find a sale to keep it near 2 dollars per. Bv)=

I've always considered getting a $2 bill or a real silver half-dollar to be good luck.

That looks delicious.

I am eating ground chicken these days. Cheaper and easier for me to gum.

Especially the silver 50c coin. I have one of those and an 1888 dollar
coin that I got in change 50 or so years ago at a Kroger store. Those
stay at home. I have a bi-centennial Ike dollar which I carry to use as
my decider when picking between two similar items. And the sandwiched
slivery looking Kennedy halves for wiatress bait. Bv)=

I am eating ground chicken these days. Cheaper and easier for me to

When is the VA gong to pop for some George Washingtons for you? Where
do you find ground chicken for le$$ than hamburger? I just looked at
the places I shop and ground chicken is U$7.99 lb. Ground turkey is at (Jennie-O chubs) U$2.99 and ground 80/20 beef @ U$4.49 in chubs or if
in a styro tray U$5.24. Regular 73/27 hamburger beef is U$3.99

Looks like turkey is the bargain there. Bv)= And mince is mince. I've
not noticed beef being more "chewy" than poultry mince.

Title: Everyday Broccoli Cheese Chicken
Categories: Ceideburg, Chicken
Yield: 4 Servings

That would definitely be chewy. I've been doing Healthy Choice Steamers
on nights when I don't feel like cooking. I've eaten their Broccoli -
Chicken Alfredo after I've dropped the china clipers into their ultra
sonic cleaner for the night. It's easy gumming.

Title: Broccoli Chicken Alfredo
Categories: Poultry, Vegetables, Pasta, Cheese, Sauces
Yield: 4 Servings

2 c Uncooked whole wheat penne
3 c Chopped broccoli; thawed
1 lb Boned, skinned chicken; in
- 1/2" cubes
2 cl Garlic; minced
1 c Alfredo sauce
1/4 c Grated Parmesan cheese; more
- for sprinkling at table
1/4 ts Pepper

Cook pasta according to package directions, adding the
broccoli during the last 5 minutes of cooking.

Meanwhile, in a large skillet coated with cooking spray,
saute chicken until lightly browned. Add garlic; saute
1-2 minutes longer or until chicken is no longer pink
and garlic is tender.

Drain pasta mixture; add to the pan. Stir in the Alfredo
sauce, cheese and pepper; cook and stir until heated
through.

UDD NOTES: I use either Classic or Bertolli jarred sauce
for this depending on what's on sale. Rao's is excellent
but pricy. If I don't have whole wheat pasta in stock I
use 'regular' pasta. It's all good.

So, I proceeded to hold and impromptu school session and taught
her how to count change back.

I couldn't tell you how many young people I had to teach how to do that (even many of my peers) when I worked in fast food and retail. It like
I was teaching them a fancy magic trick or something.

And they're amazed at how easy it is. My sole experience in fats food
was in the early 1960s when making change was taught universally.

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

Title: Dave's Freezer Chicken Soup
Categories: Five, Poultry, Vegetables, Pasta
Yield: 4 Quarts

1 lb Chicken bits from the pulled
- leg quarters or GFS bag
1 lb Bag frozen, mixed vegetables
- California blend or spring
- veg or your choice
4 tb GFS (Minors) Chicken base
2 tb Miso Paste
1/2 lb Linguine or spaghetti

Get out your five-quart crockpot and fill it half full
of water. Set the temperature control to high. Add the
chicken base and miso paste and stir until dissolved.

Add the chicken bits and vegetables, stirring to mix.

Add hot water to bring level to about an inch from the
top of the pot. Cover and let it cook for an hour.
Remove the cover and add the pasta (I use pan length
pasta I get from Hy-Vee), stirring to submerge.

If you like pepper - get out the pepper mill and grind
away until your wrists get tired or you think you have
enough. You won't need added salt as the chicken base
and miso are plenty salty.

Soup is ready when the noodles are done.

Makes four or more quarts

They will not since I am not 100% service-connected.

Where

I think I'm getting Perdue ground chicken for $3.16/lb (per 3 lb.
containers) at Sam's Club. I can get it for $3.64/lb at Walmart in 1 lb. portions. I haven't been shopping in person for a while and having been
sick for the past two weeks, my brain is a bit mushy on details.

That would definitely be chewy. I've been doing Healthy Choice Steamers
on nights when I don't feel like cooking. I've eaten their Broccoli - Chicken Alfredo after I've dropped the china clipers into their ultra sonic cleaner for the night. It's easy gumming.

It would be chewy but what I'd do is not fry the chicken in a pan but on the George Foreman where it takes five minutes when at full temp and I can cook
the rest as a "topping".

As for teeth, that is coming as soon as I get feeling well enough to talk without sounding like I'm dying or going into terrible coughing spasms when trying to speak.
