1. Plans for the weekend?

2. What one website do you go on the most?

3. Coffee or Tea and what do you put in it?

Of course...if its not worth the effort to cook locally and close to the source, why would one do so, except of course to waffle on that logic, molls claims that she does cook like others who are trying to cook healthy.  Molls is hoping that no one notices that she is saying that it doesn't make a difference and cooking like it does.  

I'm sure this chicken and dumplings (according to jams/molls logic) is the same as my homemade from scratch.

Since you are only talking about the slicing and packaging, then you missed my point.

molls and jams can eat chicken and dumplings from a can, we are eating them from scratch!  Yum!

Chickens and dumplings from a can? Who has said they have eaten that? Yuck.

Ummm...no, since I HAVE said that I won't eat certain fast foods either. smh

Why would you be sorry that I feeding my kid healthy food?   The junky brand here is $3, show me something that is healthy and $3 a pound.   Show me an ad or something.

Not $3, but $3.99

No, I don't think you do.

You don't think I have made that EXACT marinade? Bawahhaa..that is hilarious as I JUST made it last week (with steak) and I made one pretty close to it, minus the brown sugar, last night with my grilled chicken. I add and minus a bunch of things everytime too as well as my dh does. I have added lime or lemon juice to the chicken too. I use Worchestshire sauce with soy sauce or terriyaki and balsamic with steak and ground meat for hamburgers. I try everything. Sesame oil for sesame chicken. I could go on.

What do your kids eat and your dh?  

Exactly what I have said I have made before, the same marinade that Savcal has said she has made. I use that and other marinades on steak, chicken, pork and ground meat.
