OIC! The old container was cardboard with a metalized label over the cardboard. It resembled a can except for the plastic twist open/close lid.
TJ's Parmesan here too is $5.99/lb.
Yep, the old green "can" Parmesan. Now green plastic bottle Parmesan, and you gotta wonder about a cheese product that isn't refrigerated. At least TJ's refrigerates their Parmesan.

BTW I finished going through the rest of Pioneer Woman's cookbook last night and I want to try most of her recipes! There's a few here and there that are for dishes I'm not really interested in (and wasn't much impressed with her chili) but I bet there's 80% of her recipes that look good enough to try them.
I'm definitely going to buy her book, and looking forward to seeing her new cookbook that comes out this week.

Sounds like something older folks should not be making or eating
Picked Up my copy of PW's Food From My Frontier today. Have yet to crack it, I'll have to wait until the weekend or I will be up all night reading recipes.

Please review the book once you've given it the once over!
It could easily push me over the $25 free shipping limit and just buy both her books...

lol, greg. "you have to wonder about cheese that isn't refrigerated"?
isn't lack of refrigeration why cheese was invented?

Yes, hit the shelves yesterday. It sells for $30, got it on sale for $20...check around for prices. Not sure if you have a Hastings Books nearby. Just checked, Amazon has it for $17.35 Amazon.com: The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Food from My Frontier (9780061997181): Ree Drummond: Books
They removed all of our bookstores from around this area, the closest one is now about an hour away. The last one I bought at Walmart but plans just changed, the little one has a slight fever so I don't think taking him to Walmart is on my list of things to do.

Why are something like 99% of all the cheeses at the supermarket kept in refrigerated sections?
Completely off-the-wall question: Do they sell a grated Cheddar cheese product similar to grated Parmesan cheese? If so I want this for a recipe totally unrelated to the current discussion.

Yes, the grated cheese in the Kraft Mac and Cheese. And it use to be available in a can of sorts located next to the Kraft Parm in a can. Full of preservatives. Cheese is kept in the fridge area to prevent mold from forming. It is a dairy poduct after all.

Another lovely cookbook, interspersed with pictures and stories. The recipes are tasty sounding and the pictures are great. Good use of Cowboy and Cowgirl Icons to show you what recipes are full on fat and calories to the lighter fare.
Ree has gotten better with pictures, everything from coffee to desserts and a few canning recipes tossed in at the end. The only thing she didn't cover were dog and cat treats. Wide ranging foods from many different styles. Can't wait to get into some of the recipes and tailor them to old toothless folks.

That's my big impediment against getting into blogging recipes, my lack of photo skills, and my lack of photogenic setting for the photographs. I recently shut down my blog, because my photo skills were not competitive, and because my reduced kitchen could not support complex recipes.
I can't wait to get my hands on PW's new book.
