Once you start using them they will become addictive. Shoosh them in your food processor and then add them to mayo on a burger, add it into your coleslaw dressing, put it in sour cream on your baked potato, it makes awesome enchilada sauce, put it in soups, stews, meatloaf ... oh yeah.

I believe the perfect PB&J needs a very light toasting of the bread, a generous layer of crunchy peanut butter, and very light layer of strawberry jam.

Zupans! Such a nice store, such nice products, such nice people ... unfortunately (fortunately?) it's local to Portland, OR. Fred Meyer for dry goods though.

I make tortellini soup with kale and little chicken meatballs all the time but I just poach the meatballs in the soup ... is that a bad thing to do?

I have a neighbor who is a Texan and she has Blue Bell shipped every summer ... she says it's the best ice cream in the world. And she doesn't share so I've never tasted it.

I can't believe there aren't any poor folks responding. I had school lunch in grade school ... and I loved them. Then I had government mystery meat or government cheese sandwiches with Miracle Whip. And we didn't have lunch bags or lunch boxes. We had to re-use clear bread sacks. I have very nice lunch bags now and love taking the stuff I never got when I was growing up. Bologna sandwich and pudding cups. Tuna sandwiches with potato chips snack packs.

Renter here -- I usually do the oven self-clean once a year before Thanksgiving (and, of course, on move-out), and it always scares the crap out of me. Our new apartment seems to be built out of tissue paper and spit (but FABulous location) so I'd be afraid to use the self clean here, come Thanksgiving I'll give the baking powder a try.

Big yay -- I get my groceries delivered -- it's easier for me to stay on budget and make fewer impulse buys by doing it online. But I still do weekly fresh meat and produce runs. If the store where I get my fresh food delivered I do the whole thing via delivery.

We are just two, and we moved last Friday, so our Thanksgiving will be provided by a local supermarket, Zupans.

And don't forget the suburban farmers markets, Hillsboro (includes crafts), Milwaukie, Hillsdale, Sellwood. Hillsboro is my fave -- they don't have as much upscale stuff but you can buy a week's worth of veggies for a fraction of the price of the Portland's market.

I am moving to a new apartment the week before Thanksgiving so I'll probably buy Thanksgiving in a box from a local restaurant, Hubers, that specializes in turkey and does a wonderful holiday boxed dinner.
