ty for the info about how blade steak comes from different places from the cow. From now on I will read the label to see it it says
top or bottom or something else. So good to know!

about cheese pre shredded in bags, yes it's a type of cellulose that they add, but despite this we found often the shreds have stuck up against the sides of the bag?
We thought that " maybe " the bags get frozen in transit and then when it thaws, the moisture makes it susceptible to sticking and clumping. None ever goes to waste though, we just scrape it off the sides of the bag and use it. Now with this bag of my homemade blend trust me it will not even last till the end of this week, our DS is a cheese freak!
I'll just make1 more each time so it shouldn't get a chance to clump.

lol!!! don't laugh but I thought I was sending flemeth a rep message! Please ignore my swoon over Mark Stone. lol.

GRRRR! I had NO idea that I could just fill and immerse my perfectly good sale priced ziploc bags into water and ditch my Foodsaver machine?! Who feels like an idiot now for buying that machine? I'm going to tell my sister about this because she has Foodsaver machine curiousity and envy!! ha ha

just spoke with Frugalbigmama and she was able to buy the NN " extra virgin " olive oil at the NF she was at!! My store did not have any " extra virgin " , just olive oil.

truly appreciated your response about the PC/OPT cards and the way the points are earned. My friend is just really ticked off more than anything that her favourite SD OPT programme has changed.
