Re: [CnD] Tried Pea Pod? Re: SHOPPING FOR GROCERIES ON Amazon
There was also a company called dormzy but I don't think they are anymore. Also not sure if we have any listers from the Columbus ohio area but there's hills on the go which is a local market and they will personally deliver to your door so you don't have to mess with bulk and stuff. - Original Message - From: Dale cookinginthed...@att.net To: cookinginthedark@acbradio.org; trinh martin godsserve...@gmail.com Sent: Wednesday, October 03, 2012 2:56 PM Subject: [CnD] Tried Pea Pod? Re: SHOPPING FOR GROCERIES ON Amazon Have you tried Pea Pod for groceries. Unfortunately, they are not in every market. Visit Peapod.com. You can check on line by entering your zip code to see if they are in your area. If they are available in your area, they are an easy and great way to shop. I used them all the time until they pulled out of Houston. Tim and Cheryl use them in Boston. They charge a small fee and 1 or 2 percent of your order total. All in all, on an order of about 250 dollars, the fee was under 10 dollars. That is well worth it to me not to have to go to the store. If you get something you are not happy with like produce, they will take it back at the time of delivery. they even will help put things away...or at least they did here when I used to use hem.

You will be able to turn the masque facing up on a plate, remove plastic wrap and have a very interesting looking dip! I am betting with some of the gelatin molds I have seen on list lately this would work too. Pudding cups Halloween style: Use chocolate pudding and vanilla pudding Dye vanilla pudding orange using a combination of red and yellow dye Using clear dessert cups, layer the two puddings Sprinkle some crushed chocolate wafer cookies on the top On the top of the cookies sprinkle chopped up candy corns Peanut mix: Mix equal parts salted peanuts and candy corn together This is suppose to taste like baby Ruth or butter fingers or something but it is good. Pumpkin tortilla chips preheat oven to 400 from beredo size tortillas, roasted red pepper and or jalapeno cilantro flour tortillas work good. with a half inch pumpkin cookie cutter or any size, cut out as many as you can. If you have other Halloween cutters use them too. bake on ungreased cookie sheet 5 minutes until crisp Roasted pumpkin seeds 1 1/3 cups pumpkin seeds, cleaned and rinsed 2 teaspoons garlic powder 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper 1/2 teaspoon black pepper Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. I like to use parchment paper or tin foil. Combine the pumpkin seeds with the garlic powder, salt, crushed red pepper, and black pepper on prepared baking sheet and toss to combine. Bake for about 15 minutes, or until seeds are crispy and light golden brown. Remove from the oven and stir with a spatula or wooden spoon to release any seeds that have stuck to the baking sheet, and cool completely before serving. HALLOWEEN PUNCH 1 lg. can Hi-C orange drink 1 lg. can pineapple juice 1 lg. bottle ginger ale or 7-Up 1/2 gallon orange sherbet Mix Hi-C, pineapple juice, and ginger ale. Spoon in orange sherbet. Because of the orange coloring of this punch it is considered Halloween, but what I have done is get one of those plastic jack-o-lanterns the kids use for trick or treating and put any type drink in that apple cider etc but it becomes a nice punch bowl and the kids get a kick out of it, not to mention the adults too! Dead Man's Meatloaf 1 1/2 pounds ground beef 1 egg, beaten 1 cup bread crumbs 1 tablespoon ketchup 1 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder 1/4 teaspoon pepper 1/4 cup minced onions 1 (26 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce Olives, corn kernels and pimentos (garnish) Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Using clean hands, mix together all ingredients, except for the spaghetti sauce and garnishes, in a large bowl. To form the corpse: In an ungreased baking pan, sculpt the meat mixture into a body. (Generally, bodies have a single head, torso, 2 legs and 2 arms, but yours can have as many or as few as you like.) Using olives for eyes, corn for teeth and pimentos for a tongue, decorate your loaf. Feel free to try other vegetables, too. Pour spaghetti sauce around the corpse and bake for about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Right before serving, stick a dagger (butter knife) into the heart of the corpse. You can use your favorite meatloaf recipe but the sauce around it really does finish the dead man's look off. My grand boys loved it. This is one of those things that if it looks weird it just adds to the halloween theme! I often am scrambling to find a costume idea that is cheap and can be put together in a short time. Costume ideas: Static cling: Wear anything in a solid color, all white or even all black. With safety pins, attach stuff to yourself such as socks (no matching pairs allowed),underwear and dryer sheets. Spray your hair straight up into the air, and you're good to go. The all-American tourist: Guys wear loud Hawaiian shirt, shorts (if weather permits), large straw hat. Gals, brightly colored loud dress, flats, big sun hat, straw bag. Don't forget to have a camera and maps hanging out, and that we're lost! look. Real nerd: Slick back the hair, grab some pants that are too short, white shirt, white socks, penny loafers or lace-up oxfords, pocket protector with lots of pens, dark rim glasses (don't forget to tape the corner) and briefcase. ___ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark - No
