  1. Funny, but I did look at the bag of dried mango when I was at costco .. I put it right back though.
    I'm like you with the dried fruit, and figured it wasn't something I was going to be able to easily
    control so better off not accompanying me home.

    Round yes, good, so-so. I need to PUT DOWN THE MANGO. Fat cheese is not the only no-no.

    Hey, I like round numbers! Up isn't always bad, and you still are well below your goal. In the
    grand scheme of things, looks like you are hanging in there rather well. Congrats Fred. Now put
    that mango down. <G>

    Wish I could help you with the catfish, but that is one seafood that I just don't care for. Hope
    you get some good suggestions on how to fix it properly.

    Well, not bad but not good either.

    UP: 1.2

    A nice round: 160.0

    Lesanne, this is your time - bask in it! (G)

    And foolishly I went to Costco after the meeting. Bought lobster chunks, dried mango (my
    downfall) and flourescent bulbs (G)

    Oh, yes, the standard pickled herring, raw shrimp and this time, catfish - we shall see how I
    like that stuff.

    Catfish cooking suggestions - NOT DEEP FRIED!

  3. I'm still new to a real freezer. But I would guess that more tender fish items might not last
    as long as some others. I keep hoping to find swordfish but neither TJ's nor Costco has had any
    in a while.

    Joyce said:

    I freeze most everything, just wasn't too sure how long the fish would keep in the freezer. These
    packages are soooooooooo huge - would be eating it for a long, long time. The salmon wasn't bad,
    ate half and froze the other half. But the tilapia looked like it had about 40 filets in it. Now
    that's a lot of fish. LOL

  6. I noticed last week that my TJ's also did not have any
    swordfish available. Didn't think about it much at the time,
    but now wonder if maybe this is a seasonal type fish? Maybe
    it isn't as plentiful (or good) this time of year? I looked
    again at the tilapia at costco today, but took a pass. Every
    package appeared to have 20 or more filets, just too much
    for even me to freeze and eat fairly quickly. Guess this
    will be one of those things that will be purchased from the
    fish store on an as needed/wanted basis. We did finally
    purchase the fresh tuna from costco today, was the best I
    have had and will definitely be purchased again. We found
    the smallest package they had - barely over a pound I think.
    Too much for one person, not really enough for two. There is
    a good hunk of it left in the fridge. Hub and I both agreed
    that next time we would purchase a larger quantity and
    freeze half.

  9. I noticed out Costco has a gas station also. Probably would
    be a good place to go, since current talk is that gas prices
    will reach $3/gallon here, by summer. No way am I even
    considering biking to our Costco, adding a kiddie trailer
    could have some horrid results. It's probably only 5 miles
    or so, but the only way to get there is to ride on the
    heavily congested 6 lane road. No sidewalks, and I'm not
    considering taking the middle suicide lane. <G> To exit the
    store if needing to go west (left turn), traffic is rerouted
    through another shopping area in order to get to a traffic
    light. It is a mess. I think this might even change your
    fanatical friends mind. <G>

  10. Nope - she'd do it anyway (G) She was a total bikie for
    years before finally buying a car. She still runs lots of
    errands on the bike. But your's is located in a less than
    optimal location. Ours is already on a bike route we use -
    also about 5 miles away but we can avoid most heavily
    traveled routes. Can't buy too much frozen or cold stuff if
    it is too warm - we've done it. (G)

    I noticed out Costco has a gas station also. Probably would
    be a good place to go, since current talk is that gas
    prices will reach $3/gallon here, by summer. No way am I
    even considering biking to our Costco, adding a kiddie
    trailer could have some horrid results. It's probably only
    5 miles or so, but the only way to get there is to ride on
    the heavily congested 6 lane road. No sidewalks, and I'm
    not considering taking the middle suicide lane. <G> To exit
    the store if needing to go west (left turn), traffic is
    rerouted through another shopping area in order to get to a
    traffic light. It is a mess. I think this might even change
    your fanatical friends mind. <G>

    Okay, maybe a rainy day trip to Costco - especially now
    that I can get gas there with my new debit card (G) Hmm,
    unless I can convince a friend we should bike there. She

    shopping purchases, particularly, a case of talking rain

    I noticed last week that my TJ's also did not have any
    swordfish available. Didn't think about it much at the
    time, but now wonder if maybe this is a seasonal type
    fish? Maybe it isn't as plentiful (or good) this time of
    year? I looked again at the tilapia at costco today, but
    took a pass. Every package appeared to have 20 or more
    filets, just too much for even me to freeze and eat
    fairly quickly. Guess this will be one of those things
    that will be purchased from the fish store on an as
    needed/wanted basis. We did finally purchase the fresh
    tuna from costco today, was the best I have had and will
    definitely be purchased again. We found the smallest
    package they had - barely over a pound I think. Too much
    for one person, not really enough for two. There is a
    good hunk of it left in the fridge. Hub and I both agreed
    that next time we would purchase a larger quantity and
    freeze half.

  13. Ha! Around here she would be honked at, sworn at, yelled and
    screamed at, and probably chased even further off the road.
    It's an area of impatient people. <G> We do see the
    occassional bikie on these roads, but they are few and far
    between. Don't get me wrong, I think bikes are great and
    have admiration for those that use them ... but around here
    - they just don't seem to have any common sense. They refuse
    to use the same set of laws as drivers have to (which it was
    my understanding that they were supposed to) - such as
    coming up to a stoplight, bikers will usually make their own
    lane right between two others, and squirt to the front of
    the line. Then not be able to figure out why everyone behind
    them is now irate. <g> Then their are the stupid drivers who
    don't help things. I've always thought making a special bike
    lane would be a grand idea (I've seen other states that have
    them) ... until someone pointed out that it would probably
    be used by vehicles in a hurry to buzz around other traffic.
    Guess there is no winning on this issue.

    Well, you could always put a cooler into the kiddie trailer.
    I would think that would transport frozen items for a few
    miles. <G>

    Joyce

    Fred said:

    Nope - she'd do it anyway (G) She was a total bikie for
    years before finally buying a car. She still runs lots of
    errands on the bike. But your's is located in a less than
    optimal location. Ours is already on a bike route we use -
    also about 5 miles away but we can avoid most heavily
    traveled routes. Can't buy too much frozen or cold stuff if
    it is too warm - we've done it. (G)

    Joyce said:

    I noticed out Costco has a gas station also. Probably
    would be a good place to go, since current talk is that
    gas prices will reach $3/gallon here, by summer. No way am
    I even considering biking to our Costco, adding a kiddie
    trailer could have some horrid results. It's probably only
    5 miles or so, but the only way to get there is to ride on
    the heavily congested 6 lane road. No sidewalks, and I'm
    not considering taking the middle suicide lane. <G> To
    exit the store if needing to go west (left turn), traffic
    is rerouted through another shopping area in order to get
    to a traffic light. It is a mess. I think this might even
    change your fanatical friends mind. <G>

    Fred said:

    Okay, maybe a rainy day trip to Costco - especially now
    that I can get gas there with my new debit card (G) Hmm,
    unless I can convince a friend we should bike there. She
    keeps threatening to buy a bike-kiddy trailer to haul
    shopping purchases, particularly, a case of talking rain
    bottled water home from costco. She is a biking fanatic

  14. You have excellent points. The separate lane does exist here
    in places, but not a separate PATH. That actually can be
    less safe since the bike is no longer in the traffic stream
    and gets run down at all of the crossings.

    WE, bikies, do occasionally break the rules, particularly
    Calif stops at stop signs. But we are required to follow the
    rules of the road in most instances.

    But drivers do not understand that crowding us is not a good
    idea on those thin tires trying to avoid road debris (they
    do not clean shoulders where all the [censored] gets deposited) or
    holes. We need a bit of swerve room sometimes. As I wrote to
    Prairie, cars also underestimate our speed and turn RIGHT,
    right in front of us when we are already at the
    intersection, too!

    Yup, a bit of patience and courtesy - HA!

  15. Most definitely! I tend to move into further lanes when I
    see bikers - not because they bug me, but because I fear
    they may unexpectedly fall ... and then what do I do to
    avoid them? I've noticed my daughter doing the same thing,
    guess she has learned by example? I'd much rather deal with
    the bike riders though, than some of the motorcyclists I
    have come across. <G> They scare the bejeezus out of me
    zipping in and out between cars.

    You have excellent points. The separate lane does exist
    here in places, but not a separate PATH. That actually
    can be less safe since the bike is no longer in the
    traffic stream and gets run down at all of the crossings.

    WE, bikies, do occasionally break the rules, particularly
    Calif stops at stop signs. But we are required to follow
    the rules of the road in most instances.

    But drivers do not understand that crowding us is not a
    good idea on those thin tires trying to avoid road debris
    (they do not clean shoulders where all the [censored] gets
    deposited) or holes. We need a bit of swerve room
    sometimes. As I wrote to Prairie, cars also underestimate
    our speed and turn RIGHT, right in front of us when we
    are already at the intersection, too!

  17. Yup! Back to the goofy laws ... IL had a law when I was
    about 19, motorcyclists must wear helmets. It was repealed
    several years later, don't remember why though. With all the
    seatbelt and restraining device laws, I am amazed that this
    has not been brought back into attention.

    You have excellent points. The separate lane does exist
    here in places, but not a separate PATH. That actually
    can be less safe since the bike is no longer in the
    traffic stream and gets run down at all of the
    crossings.

    WE, bikies, do occasionally break the rules,
    particularly Calif stops at stop signs. But we are
    required to follow the rules of the road in most
    instances.

    But drivers do not understand that crowding us is not a
    good idea on those thin tires trying to avoid road
    debris (they do not clean shoulders where all the [censored]
    gets deposited) or holes. We need a bit of swerve room
    sometimes. As I wrote to Prairie, cars also
    underestimate our speed and turn RIGHT, right in front
    of us when we are already at the intersection, too!

    Yup, a bit of patience and courtesy - HA!
