Only a Little Paranoid

That's happened to me too!

Phos u gave me the BESTEST gift idea..and guess wut, I was thinking of doing the same thing with that same pic I took of her!!!!!!!!!!! TY.
Have a very Merry Christmas Phos and a safe n happy holiday season!
Keshi.
Oh-kay... I do believe the same thing is happenning in my neck of the woods... ESPECIALLY in the organic section. What gives?
As an employee of a grocery store, this is indeed true. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! They're always watching!
/t.:They're everywhere!!
LL: No more woolite?
Keshi:That's whatChristmas is all about Keshi, family. Enjoy!!
Jewels There's an oragnic section? Does that mean the rest of the food in the store is inorganic?
Becky Hope they don't come after you for being a whistle blower!!
That's why I don't have no christmas tree anymore. I was always afraid they are hidding even behind that! I feel so much more relaxed this year...
Merry christmas to you and your familiy phos!
No, no more artichoke bottoms. I used to buy these and put tuna fish with black olives in theme.
DM frohe Weihnachten there DM. I always thought it was a shame to sacrifice a perfectly good tree so the ad industry could have an icon.
LL Hope you ate the artichoke tops too - none of the artichoke was wasted...
FINALLY! Somebody else has turned onto this plot. I was getting paranoid. Thought it was just me. But by DAMN, it wasn't.
I say we launch a counter-attack. Not sure what yet. But something that makes a big statement.
Nice blog, Phosgene!
CC Thanks for dropping by. I do strike back in my own way by flipping the cameras the bird and rearranging the market’s shelf stock.
Is that what happened to Leinie's!? Bastards!
I haven't seen a Leinie's Red in like forver. Have to ease my sorrow with a couple Kiltlifters.
Yes, Phos, yes... That's exactly what it means... inorganic.... ;)
I ate the whole artichoke.
Jewels You are probably right. With most food in the market you would be better off chucking the food and eating the wrapper.
LL: Except the "choke" I hope... I have only had artichoke hearts on a pizza - they were good. I've seen chefs prepare artichokes and it looks like way too much effort for what you are left with.
I think you and Grumpy need to chat.
pk
They talk about developing brand loyalty and then the brand disappears... it's happened to me so many times I'm afraid to say I like something out loud. I thought I was the only one with the kiss of death for products.
Easy artichoke recipe...
1. Get two really big artichokes.
2. Cut off the stalk so it sits nice in a pot of salted water to cover.
3. Boil until the leaves start to fall off.( could take an hour)
4. Cool a bit.
5. Stick on a big plate.
6. Pull off individual leaf and dip in mayonaisse.
7. This is the tricky part, bite and scrape pulp off with teeth, then discard remainder of leaf on plate.
8. Repeat til you get to the center.
9. Scoop out little seedy thisilly things.
10. Cut up the center(heart) dip in mayo.
11. Substitute melted butter for mayo if you prefer.
I find artichokes more of a challenge to eat than to cook but they are delish!
