Hi Dave,
DD> As have I. Never had renter's insurance, though.
RH> We have a number of higher value things we'd like to have insured. Had
RH> to make a claim on it when we had the break in back in 2013 but they
RH> didn't pay what the jewelery was worth as a number of the older pieces
RH> hadn't been appraised.
DD> Never had a break-in. (touches wood) But currently if someone intrudes
DD> on my home the 3 pooches (including a pit bull mix who is *very*
DD> territorial) would shred their hindquarters for them.
We blame it on the local post office--we'd put in a mail hold; they
claim they never got it due to a computer glitch. We went away and a
package was left at the front door, mail jammed into the box, all
advertising nobody home. Lost a couple of family heirloom pieces plus
some one of a kind pieces from Israel and a lot of inexpensive stuff.
DD> BTW - I recommend Healthy Choice frozen steamers when you don't feel
DD> like cooking. They come in various sizes and were recommended to mr by
DD> a registered dietician at my doctor's office. I had the Sweet & Sour
DD> Chicken made with "riced" cauliflower for supper last night. Nice and
DD> not overly filling.
RH> Have to take a look at them and see what's in them. Usually we've got
RH> enough stuff on hand that if I don't feel like cooking, a meal can be
RH> assembled with bits and pieces of this and that.
DD> One of my favourites (which I first picked up by mistake) is Chicken
DD> Linguini With Red Pepper Alfredo. Here's the ingredients:
DD> Contains 2% or Less of: Modified Corn Starch, Soybean Oil, Nonfat Dry
DD> Milk Red Pepper Sauce, Salt, Flavorings, Xanthan Gum, Guar Gum,
DD> Distilled Vinegar Red Pepper, Salt
DD> That's quite a list. But I don't see any no-no stuff like HFCS, etc in
DD> there. And it is tasty. Bv)=
RH> Have to see what Steve thinks of it. Generally tho, I have enough odds
RH> and ends of stuff in the freezer, fridge and pantry that a no fuss meal
RH> is easy to put together. I always have eggs on hand, both raw and
RH> steamed; bread; fresh and/or frozen vegetables............... a lot can
RH> be done with a bit of this and that.
DD> It's a matter of convenience. If I'm banging recipes into the Meal
DD> Muncher, or otherwise occupied I can toss a Healthy Choice into the
DD> nuker for six minutes - et voila' - supper. And Jasper or Izzy (K9
DD> dishwashers) will pre wash the dish.
Between the 2 of us, usually someone is available to do a quick meal. If
we're out, sometimes we'll swing by and get take out from any one of
several favorite places instead.
RH> Sigh! Small chance of seeing her now probably.
DD> I keep her updated on the goings-on at the Zone. One of her favourite
DD> District Managers has returned to this area to replace a manager she
DD> didn't care much for.
DD> Too bad she's married (to a nice guy). I once told her that if I were
DD> even 30years younger and she wasn't already taken .......
Sigh! (G)

DD> After I bang in a recipe:
