Yeah, I know.... As it turns out, the surmise is proving to be correct,
as on the shelves there have appeared some new packages, different
shape, now only 10 oz instead of the 11 oz the "Original Size" packages have recently touted.... It's still for the same price as before, just
for less....

We were sort of figuring this, were we not?

We were indeed... note that I said that the surmise is proving to be correct..... sigh.... Now they call them "Share Size (formerly Original Size)".... And I noted that I could get a big bag of, say, the Special
Dark Miniatures at BJs for about 1/2 the price per pound as these new
little packages.... Guess that's what I'll be doing when the current
supply gets low enough to buy more... and there might even be a BJs
coupon to drop the price another $2 or so by then....

And the poor get poorer. And the poor in judgment
get poorer still.

That's clearly a diabolical fad.... You won't catch me following it... even if I /could/ drink coffee...

Both Lilli and Bonnie have Keurig machines, one
because she likes buying trendy junk, the other
because her daughter likes buying trendy junk,
And my friend with whom I had lunch the other day
used to actually work for Keurig but left because
she couldn't stand it.

I realize that it does make a single cup more convenient to brew, and
that there are reusable versions as well, but still....

What can I say? Oh, I can say "French press."

Actually, apparently I misunderstood... he buys the white meat in 40 lb packages for the restaurant... the dark meat comes in 10 lb packages... and when I enquired yesterday, turned out he didn't have any at the moment...

So serendipity that other time after all.

Apparently... We went there tonight (Richard got a sudden urge, coming
home from his walk this afternoon), asked about dark meat... he said
Thursday there would be some, he doesn't like to get too much,
especially for the 'slower" part of the week... one of these days,
though, I will try getting either the katsudon or the oyakidon with the
dark meat... :)

Confuounding everything he's learned about the
tastes of the dining public. Perhaps you could bring
your own protein?

We know that some do prefer the white... unthinkable as that can be...

Funny thing was always that I had to think of
things to do with the white meat.

It's always the issue when we get a whole chicken, to figure out how to
use up all that white meat....

Schnitzel and stir-fry.

... Where in the nursery rhyme does it say Humpty Dumpty is an egg?

Humpty Dumpty started out as a riddle, sort of
like the chicken that has no bone.

I know... like so many other nursery rhymes.... :) that's just the way
the tag was when I snagged it... :) And, of course, all the illustrated books show him as an egg.... :) (with human features, and arms and
legs... so clearly fanciful... [g])

The Tweedle twins' relative, no doubt.

... Combining scallops and butter is basically never a bad idea.

Nohow! Contrariwise!

Probably only confirming his observation that we aren't the general
dining public... And I don't think there would be a need to bring our
own protein....

Dee and Dum... ;) Speaking of scallops.... went with my friend Karen
back to Chen Garden (where I found the shrimp toasts)... looked for
anything with orange, particularly orange beef and scallops, to no
avail... So I guess they don't have the drum of sweet red sauce back in
the kitchen... (G) What I did get was scallop mixed vegetables in white sauce... the scallops were big and not overcooked... and practically tasteless.... sigh... Wegmans has sweeter scallops than those were...
