    Yes, I got another gratin dish. Same brand, but this one has oval holes in the handles, rather than round, and isn't branded on the bottom at all. I didn't notice the holes being different until I happened to have the two side by side. Not a big deal, but seems a bit odd. They otherwise seem pretty identical .

    And I got a 10 inch deep dish pie pan. I guess, now that I got four more coats of seasoning on, I need to make some sort of pie.

    Howdy y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday! 50 out there now with an expected high of 81 and no chance of precipitation. Almost back to summer again.

    Nothing really on the agenda today, though I may mop the kitchen floor. I do need to get this corned beef into the crock pot by ...oh, maybe 10:00 or 10:30. Not sure what I'll have for lunch, as the meatloaf is all eaten now and there isn't anything else ready. Maybe I'll make a quick patty melt, sans onions...

    Hi Ed
    Interesting that the Gratin Pan has changed that quickly, Weird.

    I never thought about a Cast Iron Pie Pan, have You used them before, I wonder how they affect the way the crust bakes, Does the cast Iron holding the heat longer give better doneness on the bottom of the crust ? I have heard that sitting the regular Pie pans on a cookie sheet aids with that too.

    Much warmer than here, Cool and breezy with rain forecast for tomorrow.

    This may make You laugh ? My brother said he had a nightmare, he dreamed he cooked one of the Corned Beef from the freezer and use it to make a Big pan of Corned Beef Hash. The nightmare part was that he ate it all with a couple of eggs :smiley:
    Your mention of the Corned Beef going into the crock-pot reminded me of it. We both tend to keep things in the freezer that are a quick heat and eat.

    Have a Nice Day

    Hey,
    If I don't do this right now, chance are I'll be MIA again!
    I've spent the morning trying to compare tires online. What a mess. Fees for this that and the other, more fees if they mess up one (or more) of the tire pressure sensors....yadda, yadda. I think I'g going back to my usual tire place. They saw me thru 2 Saturns...surely they can help out with a Honda Fit! So far it looks like I will save about $200 over having Honda do it. Not surprised.

    Got two packages from USPS today...left right at the garage door, in plain and full view of ANYONE who drives up the street. ARG! And the package that I really wanted was shipped to the wrong place..and will now come UPS..supposedly today. I'll be interested to see where UPS leaves my package. (I'm betting on the front porch! :) ) Couple weeks ago, it was Ed who had issues with package deliveries...why in the heck is this so difficult???

    I think I need another cup of coffee.......

    Later...

    Hi Valerie
    Tire pressure Sensors? More complications and electronics in the car, Too much electronics IMO.

    That is why I have as one of the lines in my shipping address indicate where I want the package delivered. I have heard that putting that as the right under the name and over the street address makes it hard for them to say, "I didn't see it"

    I have personally seen and heard from relatives that if a package is damaged they try and sneak it onto Your place out of the way. My suspicion id they hope that it gets more damage from the weather, Other than that quirk I like bot FedEx, UPS and the USPS.

    If it wasn't difficult it would not be real life :wink:

    Good Luck with the tires

    The corned beef (brisket) turned out deliciously tender, but not quite falling apart. I was able to extract it from the crock pot in one piece. Some potatoes cooked in there with it and for the last hour or so there were also a lot of baby Brussels sprouts from the freezer.

    Dinner was corned beef, boiled potato, Brussels sprouts, and a nice, ripe, sliced tomato from the salvage store.

    I suspect the salvage store has the same brand of gratin dish from two separate purchases, or maybe the brand just changed suppliers sometime and the ones at the store happen to include both. Had I been aware of it, I would have purchased two that were the same, but it's not really that big a deal. They seem to be the same size and thickness. I just thought it might be nice sometime to do a meatloaf in one and some mac and cheese in the other, at the same time, though the mac and cheese doesn't take as long to cook as the meatloaf. I could work that out easily enough.

    I believe the cast iron pie pan will help to make sure the bottom crust is nicely done. This is a VERY DEEP DISH pie pan. I need to choose a fruit (not apple) to make a pie. Or maybe make a giant chicken pot pie? But I don't really think I want THAT much chicken pot pie. I'll think of something.

    I do know that putting a cookie sheet in the oven while the oven is preheating, and then placing the raw pie (in its pan) on the hot cookie sheet helps with the bottom crust.

    Hi Ed
    That sounds as if it was a delicious Dinner, I like Corned Beef, And with leftovers I make a sandwich on Rye bread with Swiss Cheese, Sauerkraut and Thousand island Dressing.

    That sounds like a plan to me, Meatloaf and Mac and Cheese, probably with a sprinkle of bread crumbs on top or maybe grated cheese or both... Possibly Bruleed (Spelling ?) or if it will fit in a toaster oven to get a really nice crisp crust on top.

    I will be Honest a Good Chicken Pot Pie does sound really tasty. Fruit Pies maybe Rhubarb and Strawberry pie or multiple berries as the filling. The Local ShopRite does sell a Deluxe baked Pie called Very Berry that is really tasty. If We could get them here in the east I love a good Boysenberry Pie too.

    I think the reason the Cookie Sheet works is it slows down the top part of the pies cooking, I'm not sure since I never investigated why.

    If both of the gratin pans are the same size and thickness I agree that should not be a problem.

    Have a Good Day

    Howdy y'all. It's thrilling Thursday! 60 now with an expected high of only 61 and 0% chance of precipitation.

    I've been up for hours, as the cats won't generally let me sleep very late. Thank goodness for naps! Distracted by internet, watering plants, pondering whether to go to the grocery or not. Probably not.

    Nothing critical for today. I'll just warm up some of last night's leftover corned beef and sides for lunch.

    The pertinent portion of law that applies to your question is the Coinage Act of 1965, specifically Section 31 U.S.C. 5103, entitled "Legal tender," which states: "United States coins and currency (including Federal reserve notes and circulating notes of Federal reserve banks and national banks) are legal tender for all debts, public charges, taxes, and dues."

    This statute means that all United States money as identified above are a valid and legal offer of payment for debts when tendered to a creditor. There is, however, no Federal statute mandating that a private business, a person or an organization must accept currency or coins as for payment for goods and/or services. Private businesses are free to develop their own policies on whether or not to accept cash unless there is a State law which says otherwise. For example, a bus line may prohibit payment of fares in pennies or dollar bills. In addition, movie theaters, convenience stores and gas stations may refuse to accept large denomination currency (usually notes above $20) as a matter of policy.

    A gray (possibly) area might be if a restaurant, for example, did not make it perfectly clear BEFORE you order, and consume food, that they only accept cards, as you could eat the food, thus incurring a "debt" prior to knowing that you could not pay in cash. If the restaurant had not made it clear to you, in advance, that they did not accept cash, then it may be true that, legally, they would have to pursue payment through the courts since they were not accepting payment that is legal for "all debts, public and private" and they allowed you to create the debt without informing you of their policy.

    Of course anything paid in advance is not payment of a debt, as you don't technically owe the money until after the service or goods have been provided, so if a retail store refused to take cash, you don't actually owe them any debt since you haven't received the goods in question.

    Likewise, a restaurant where you pay when you order, before you get your food, can easily refuse cash as, again, you don't incur any debt while attempting to pay, in advance, with cash, as they simply refuse to prepare your order.

    Hi
    I'm back from walking and no cents. The temperature this morning was 36 degrees. There is a chilly breeze blowing too. As is my habit I turned on the Bedroom TV to check the temperatures and weather forecast and had a blank screen. To see if it were the TV or the Cable news channel I checked on the Living Room TV and found a frozen screen that appears to have happened while after 2AM. It was Out when I left to go walking and as of 6:45AM when I checked is back.

    We have four 60 watt equivalent LED bulbs to try the next time a CFL burns out. They were on sale at the ShopRite recently for $0.69 cents per.

    Well, that was weird!! I just spent 20 minutes trying to get this 'Reply box', so I could say HI.
    There wasn't a place to reply to???? I looked around MFP, was going to sign in as a new account, decided against that...finally came back here...and like other internet magic happenings...the reply box had appeared? Yep, weird.

    Tonite is O's gymnastics, and between now and then, I have to work on that front room that Ted helped me with. I think I can do that!...

    Got my tires yesterday evening. Saved my $200, and got the alignment done as well as the new tires. (had to pay more for the alignment.)...These tires are rated for 40+thousand miles..which should about take care of my driving, and car ownership.
    The tire pressure thingy really isn't too much of a hassle. Fall comes, remind me I said that! The sensors are very 'sensitive', and sometimes the air temp and resulting lower tire pressure will trigger it. At that point I may retract my above statement. LOL!!!!!

    Ok, I need to get my day started...coffee cup is suspiciously empty, always a sign that I need to be up and about, not sitting in my nice comfy task chair! :)

    Later...

    Hi Valerie
    Did You try hitting refresh on the page first ?
    You have more patience than I, after a couple of tries I would give up and try again later :wink:

    Nothing better than saving money, I expect that the tires that I had replaced due to age on the Buick when I got it will likely need replacing due to age rather than mileage :smiley: After all they were the originals from when it was new in 1999... None of the owners did much more driving beyond going to the Local Grocery Store and Church.

    I'm still working on emptying my Coffee Cup, Running behind today :(
    Oh well.

    Have a Good Day

    Hi Ed
    OK, that clarifies it for me. I will say however that the part where it says "Public Charges" sounds like a gray area.

    I hate the new systems that are being used on many toll roads. Either have Easypass or the scan the License plate and send a bill for the toll. I have not been able to find where they disclose any service charge for sending the bill, I am however sure that their is a fee to cover it.

    I would tell them to call the police if they refused cash after I ate and had no notice posted about a no cash policy. I do suspect that they have covered that loophole with a small notice at the register. As if most people eating out at look at the register before being seated.

    Have a Good Day
    Roger

    P.S. FWIW when I worked retail I did prefer a Credit card or Debit card since I was the only one in that location and less cash equals a less of an attraction for thieves.

    Howdy y'all. It's fantastic Friday! 41 out there now with an expected high of 68 and 0% chance of precipitation.

    One plate of corned beef and sides is still in the fridge but will probably disappear at lunch time today.

    Nothing major on the agenda. Feed the cats, clean yesterday's cat bowls, nap, maybe get out to Aldi and/or another store for a thing or two. We'll see.

    Hi
    I'm back from walking and no cents. The temperature this morning was 33 degrees. Overall it was better walking than yesterday despite being being cooler as there was no breeze.

    I did have a Pair of Deer moving back and forth across the road in front of me for a few blocks. Due to the size difference one I'm guessing mother and young'un.

    Howdy y'all. It's fantastic Friday! 41 out there now with an expected high of 68 and 0% chance of precipitation.

    One plate of corned beef and sides is still in the fridge but will probably disappear at lunch time today.

    Nothing major on the agenda. Feed the cats, clean yesterday's cat bowls, nap, maybe get out to Aldi and/or another store for a thing or two. We'll see.
    Hi Ed
    Good Morning

    I opened up a package of Grocery Store Pork Lunch Meat that I picked up on sale. It was tasty enough in the sandwich, with this exception, there is a layer of fat with a layer of Gristle under it that needs removing on every slice :(

    I will likely finish that off today and pull the next package which happen to be chicken out of the freezer which also has one defect to it. That defect is a minor annoyance in that they slice it so thin it becomes hard to handle...

    The Last Corned Beef we did we (I) pulled out the slicer and sliced thick enough to work well in sandwiches. Why the slicer I never mastered the process of getting even slices with a knife.

    You are once again running warmer than I, Shocking I know :wink:

    Have a Good Day
    Roger

    Hi Valerie
    I know how You feel about past the use by date foods, however and FWIW...

    I was in my basement freezer and ran across a NS Cinnamon Streusel Muffin from my 7th delivery with a Enjoy by December 3, 2014 date. I had it for my snack before walking today, it was still tasty with the original texture and flavor, And possibly due to the packaging or the Oxygen absorbent pack there was no Freezer Burn or off tastes.

    I had not realized I was on NS that long :smiley:

    Have a Nice Day
    Roger

    Howdy y'all. It's satisfying Saturday. Forgot to post this morning so I'll post this evening instead. I see Val just posted too.

    Didn't do much today, though it appeared to have been a lovely day out. I was feeling kind of dragged out and the cats have been getting me up too early, so I went back to bed early after lunch and jus got up a few minutes ago.

    Finished off the pizza and cheese bread from Murray's, so may just make cheese dip and tortilla chips for a finisher after I wake up a bit more. No videos today.
