I guess I can't go into the area grocery store chain and buy chocolate chip cookies that taste like chocolate chip cookies. The wife thinks something was up with the shortening used but I say it has a definite ginger taste. I switched away from this store's regular bread as they took the milk component out leaving the bread with a strong yeast taste and it smells not too different from hay silage. If the store wants to make artisan products then fine, make it, and then label it as such. Or if it is to be a special dietary product then fine but do not tamper with the everyday regular bread. On a positive note the 95 percent ground beef has pretty good as of late versus barely making it to the expiration date.

wow, must be the day for "grumpy old farmers" to rant! :lol: :lol: First a rant on pills, now this.
Could be the weather, though. Last nite on Halloween, the wife saw the neighbor across the street had their lites off. Her comment was "that irritates me, they've got kids, they should be home handing out candy!" I laughed and said "seriously? you're "irritated" about that? Your "irritation" threshold is mighty low." :lol: :lol:
Turns out, they took their kids to another neighborhood (gated mansions) to trick or treat.
Anyway, got a chuckle out of your rant.

Yeah, people drive over to that neighborhood from afar. Eminem (the rapper) lived there along with a bunch of car dealers, doctors, business owners, etc. When Eminem was there they closed the gates one year and brought in a truck to hand candy out of. Traffic was backed up for almost a mile. All for a candy bar. :lol: :lol:
The sun is shining here! Haven't seen that in about a week. So I won't be crabby here today. (In about a week....) did a little stalk chopping,
seemed to go ok. Drove over water standing in the tracks where I had the wagons parked, but the talk chopper doesn't take much pull so it
went fine. See if I can get the wife to continue on with it.
Maybe I can try the combine later on here. Tho it might be wet for that, and if I mess up then I'd be back to crabby again......

Probably food cops again. Little by little they are taking everything out of food that taste good.

I'll add a rant. Today I stopped at IGA. I stepped up in line behind a guy buying cigarettes. The checker asked for ID. The guy was 40 something. I commented that we live in a world of ignorant simpletons. Just ridiculous.

Some stores require the clerk check ID on all cigarette and alcohol sales.

Eat the dough as is and save money on oven fuel.

Hy-Vee store in Cherokee, Ia not only checks your ID but scans it. I quit buying alcohol products there because I don't feel that anyone needs to know how often, or how seldom I drink.

I attended an SEC football championship at the Georgia dome a couple of years ago. At halftime I went up to the concession stand to buy an "Adult beverage". The lady behind the counter asked me for my ID. Since I was in my mid 60's at the time, I assumed she was kidding. She wasn't. If I would not have had my ID I would have gone back to my seat still thirsty.
We have two .... grocery stores? Maybe? One is part of a Walmart, and the other is a half-baked operator. Now that guy is taking out 1/3 of the store and putting in ... TA-DAH!!!! a hardware store section!!! Gonne jump right in there and compete with the Lowes, the Walmart, the Coast to Coast, all the auto stores, the rental places, the lumber yards and the Dollar General. What a genius.

Yup, the cashier can lose their job if they don't check ID and put a valid birth date in the computer. Used to be if you looked old enough they would just hammer on the "1" key for the birth date. Problem is it's mostly teenagers working the registers and it's just too easy to do that for your underage buddies trying to score a 6-pack.
Now they're on to that and make up birth dates that sound real. They know the video footage is only reviewed if there's suspicion of wrongdoing so a lot of underage sales still go through. Scanning the license is the next step. It's either that or your 6-pack of Keystone Ice costs $25.99 to pay for the manpower to monitor and review the video of every alcohol sale.

It's probably the law to ask for ID. Chill out and have a biscuit.
