And I don't have the means to do it any other way. (The combined jaw of "Discuss Cooking" would drop to the floor if it knew how small my pension is!) I obviously had a better domestic economy education than some of you.Emmentaler is what's known in the United States as Swiss cheese. Just about any good grocery store has a cheese counter in the deli area and a case of packaged refrigerated cheeses in the refrigerated section. Caslon is buying his in the refrigerated area, where lesser quality but less expensive cheeses are available. Not everyone has the means or desire to do things the way you do.

Why should the refridgerated area automatically have poor or dubious quality items in it? Doesn't that contravene your food standards legislation? Here factory pre-packed goods are more expensive than goods sold "loose" and the quality is carefully regulated

And, Got Garlic, I've been thinking for some time that you need to practise some good manners both in your dealings with me and with others on this forum.
Hey Caslon, put bacon on it.

Heheh, ya. My avocado, onion, chopped lettuce and Swiss cheese sandwich. Add bacon!
Speaking of bacon, I found that if I vacuum pack my opened package of bacon into a vacuum bag, using my Reynolds Handi-Vac, the bacon stays fresh for quite a while. It doesn't start turning brown. I'm stoked because, bacon is very expensive these days.

Wow, Andy...that's definitely a legit vent! The sneaky 'convenience' fee alone for pre-ordering would be enough to turn me off, not to mention the price of the snacks. I'm sure the kids loved it, but I get you not wanting to go back for another decade or so, if ever.
Our rather small town movie theater has (I think) 7 movies playing at any given time. The general admission is $10.75. Children, seniors, military, and matinees are $8.75. Snack prices are ridiculous.
When there's a new movie I really want to see, I like going to a weekday matinee by myself. (Just not during summer break when school's out). It's just a treat that I enjoy, especially because the theater is almost always empty and I kind of feel like I'm enjoying a private viewing. I kick back in the back row with a large bottled water I bring in myself, and the ticket taker overlooks it and waves me on through.
I posted a comment in the movie thread about going to see Mama Mia 2 last week.. I was pleased that tickets were $4.89 + tax.. The only price list I had seen was Senior tickets @ $10.69..
Come to find out that the theater has what they call $5 Tuesdays..
We had not been to the theater in about 2 years.. With $5 Tuesdays, I can see us going more often..
Even for that popular movie, there were not too many people at the early showing.. We don't buy snacks and sneaky Jeannie takes a bottle of water in her purse.. She is such a rebel..

At least that's a normal snack food. I've been known to drain an entire can of black olives and put those into a zipped sandwich bag so my SIL and I can munch on them through a movie - the original M.A.S.H., as a matter of fact....Once in a while a ziplock of mixed nuts or something from home will jump into my purse before I leave, though. Shhhh......
