It seems that the 1 pound box of Ronzoni Pasta weigh 13.25 ounces. Is
that something new or did I not notice it before?

Huh! Kind of like a 1# can of coffee now weighing 13 oz. Or a 2# box
of graham crackers now weighing ~26 oz. Da bums!

Yeah, and a pound of crawfish tail meat is 12 ounces.

Does the package say 1 pound? Or, are you just assuming that it's one
pound?

I searched all over for Ronzoni fettucine and finally found some in CT
last week (I live in VA). It was $1.19, but I'll have to see whether
it is 13.25 oz. I don't mind it being in a smaller package as long as
it is equal cost per oz.

I usually cook up the whole pound because I don't like repackaging it.

Gee, didn't you know that the 16 oz pound of anything (unless you bag the
stuff yourself) went the same way as a gallon of gasoline for under $3.00
here in SoCal. Price at the self-service Arco for regular was $3.09/gallon
today.

That's because crawfish uses Troy weight, like gold.

The milk at the farm where I buy my milk just went up today -- from
$5.25 to $6 a gallon -- I'll pay the price tho - . Almost always 2
cups to 2-1/2 cups cream on top; ice cream or butter once a week.
I read in the news that milk in the supermarket went up also, and that
groceries will go up quite a bit this year.

C'mon, tell the truth... not only do you have to boil the pot of water
anyway but you enjoy cold left over pasta for breakfast. heheh

I cook the whole batch and whatever I don't use, I heat up in a buttered
skillet the next day and add freshly grated parmesan cheese and a touch of
garlic. Simplicity at its best AND some of the pasta gets deliciously
crispy. Yum.

Re-heated pasta can be boring, but if done only sometimes it's a nice change
up. Me too use some butter or oil to keep it moist while it reheats, and
sometimes I like to almost stir-fry it, to get that crispiness you say. It's
a totally different dish from what it was the day before, and it's a nice
alternative to polpette / frittelle.

My cats like it, but they each prefer a different sauce. One trembles
with joy when it is pesto.

The 13.5 ounces is a stupid amount, because assuming 100 g per meal
sized serving, or 3.5 ounces dry weight, it doesn't add up to anything
except having cooked too much or too little.

As long as I can remember,
fettucini is sold in 12 oz. packages.

( I don't know why )

Huh? Me?
Thanks, I guess. The only place I've been recently is Louisiana and
that was a month ago. And I was posting then.

And some five pound bags of sugar weigh four pounds now. :o( Same
price, of course.

Interesting, the price here in Providence, RI has been hovering around
$2.94 for the past couple weeks. Of course Bush is coming in a week so
that's probably why.

It's happening all over. Food companies say it's so they can address
their higher costs without raising the price of a "unit" of their
product. They say customers don't want to pay more for the product.
*rolls eyes*

I'm waiting for the first petroleum company to have the /chutzpah/
to redefine a gallon of gasoline as, say, 100 ounces, so they can
keep the price under $3 a gallon.
