I prefer Kiefer (fermented milk). It has a long refrigerated shelf life of several months. I primarily use it on steel cut oats. Would drink it on regular basis but it's on the expensive side and is not always available. I typically buy it Aldi's. $3.29 for a quart.

I've come to rely on RIP posts for celebrity deaths as I do not follow mainstream news.

Personal experience here. I am an Illinois resident. Inherited a traditional IRA in 2014 and have had distributions made every year. Currently, Illinois does not tax those distributions. However, can't say how many more years it will stay that way given the poor financial health of the state.

So the "portal" is probably a fancy name for a " secured warming oven" located inside the store. As a comparison, I am not a Starbucks fan, but have observed their "pre-paid pick up counter" and have concluded it is totally an honor system. I could go in and take whatever order I wanted with...

Binged watch Season 2 of Jack Ryan. I struggled getting into Season 1, but after several attempts, I did watch the entire season and thought it was good. Season 2 has a much better story line and, at least to me, was easier to follow the subplots (maybe because I watched all 8 episodes...

You, a New Yorker, and I, a near Chicago based individual, you'd appreciate the pizza was thin crust and not the typical Chicago thick crust. Starting to think thin crust wins! It was a very good pizza!

I'm sure this is not new to some, but just experienced a fast food order/pick-up experience that just got me hooked." Normally, I can walk into a major pizza chain and say "one pepperoni please." On a very rare occasion, they may not have a pepperoni and I may have to settle for a cheese if I...

Also on Humana plan D and received their notification of changes for 2020. Current premium is $23.50 but jumps to $52.90 per month next year. Big ouch mainly because I do not take any prescription medicines. When I signed up two years ago, Humana was the least expensive coverage for me at $19...

I've recently heard people use the phrase "search it up" instead of "Google it". Kind of makes sense given there are other search engines beyond Google.

I acknowledge I am an absolute cynic. I disdain Hollywood actors for their lifestyles and beliefs, yet I enjoy their ability to transcend me to a different place via their acting ability. Having said that, wondering if British actors have a Holliwood equivilant where the general population...

OK! I am a very patient cook. An addition here and there and then some mariniate time works for me.

Very lucky I did not live on Ramen noodles in college. However, in retirement, I have since used them as a quick lunch item accompanied by a toasted peanut butter sandwich and lots of hot sauce in the Ramen soup. So local grocer had Ramen noodles on sale so I stocked up. I plan to not use the...

From other posts on this forum I feel Acorn broadcasting may be the better choice from an entertainment perspective, but my experience/knowledge of Britbox is absolutely minimal. I've decided as the 2020 political commercials start appearing (and I've already seen a few) Acorn TV will be my...

I've been watch Acorn TV via Hoopla and have discovered many shows that I want to continue streaming beyond the limitations associated with Hoopla (5 selections per month via local library). In researching, I discovered Britbox as an alternative to Acorn and is about the same monthly fee. I...

I grew up where we had popcorn every Sunday night to watch Wonderful World of Disney. I am talking about 18 years of Sunday night popcorn. Dad, being a farmer, was very obsessed with the sourcing of the popcorn. Princeton Farms was about the only brand he knowingly would eat. Mom would pop the...
