<p>Pouring rain is a great time to go to the Rose Planetarium at the Museum of Natural History, but alas, it’s not free.</p>
<p>looks like it’s going to rain on Friday, but not on Saturday. (70% chance vs. 10%). Of course, the forecast can change a dozen times between now and then. I copied out 14 pages worth of tips, from 3 different threads. Now I have to start weeding them out! (Eliminating duplicates, things I know we wouldn’t enjoy, etc.)</p>
<p>LIMOM- were both the raisins and the roaches in that pumpernickel bread? :eek: crunchy!</p>
<p>somemom - no…lol. At least not that I know of. This is really horrible - one was in a cupcake served at a pre-k party. When the mom went to complain, the guy at the bakery just said, “so what.” With that kind of response I doubt that they did anything to remedy the problem</p>
<p>LOL. Look what we’re talking about. It it something about NYC? We started out with mini coopers and have moved on to, well ^^ see above.</p>
<p>Poor little pre-k’er. Maybe that’s the secret to reduce sugar consumption.</p>
<p>I know I cannot shop in that bakery anymore…lol. It has definitely reduced my son’s consumption of their delicious black and white cookies.</p>
<p>Extra protein in cupcakses, kind of like that Mrs Seinfeld cookbook about sneaking protein & veggies into kid friendly food?? but I think the idea is NOT to be able to tell it is there- no little roach eyeballs staring at you!</p>
<p>LImom-
I bought some multigrain bread with pecans and raisins in it yesterday. It was good, but not as good as the raisin pumpernickel. However, I kept looking at the raisins, and thinking “roaches”. Thanks for the lovely image!!!</p>
<p>binx (and snowball)-
Guess what I found in my briefcase when I was pulling out some coupons from the Sunday papers-- a Sweet Tomatoes coupon!!! Gee, binx, we could have saved about $3 each. I think I’ll live (though when I think of it as a gallon of gas, it takes on a new perspective…)</p>
<p>I’m strongly considering not eating at all for the 4 days I’m in NYC. Or maybe only heavily packaged and processed.</p>
<p>Nah. DD lives there in the slightly grungy Morningside Heights and she’s survived just fine.</p>
<p>Eat away. Some wonderful places too.</p>
<p>Grey’s Papaya the best buy! Not good for rain. No seats!</p>
<p>My S lived in Harlem last year. Had a nice convenient grocery store very close to his apartment. Convenient until it was shut down half way through the year by the health dept. (He said he never bought fresh stuff there; only canned.)</p>

<p>I guess I shall say naught about the quantity of insect parts/rodent hairs in processed foods allowed under federal statues. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>Is this the New York thread? I’ll be there next Monday-Wednesday. I’ll wave as the plane takes off.</p>
<p>Dear Violadad, Thanks for naught! Not.</p>
<p>No, Washdad, this is not the NY thread, it is the meeting other CCers thread, so you are only allowed to write about NY if you are meeting a CCer there. Waving from the plane doesn’t count.</p>
<p>binx, have fun and enjoy the “show”. If I could be there, I would.</p>
<p>Aw! Let him wave!</p>
<p>I’ll even wave back, his flight bath probably goes right over our house.</p>
<p>His flight bath? Right over your house? Ewwwwww.</p>
<p>jym626,
Missed this thread because I was away with the family for a whirlwind visit in Florida for MIL’s 85th birthday. Would love to get together in Grand Central or Westchester on the 23rd! Will do my best to work it out. Let the serious planning begin!<br>
- Keep on dieting…check
- Color hair…check
- Take off the sweats and put on grown-up clothes…check
:D</p>
<p>jym626 - I’m so sorry to have ruined your multigrain bread experience. I feel so bad for ever mentioning it.</p>
<p>Wow, it sounds like we might have a nice little group on Feb. 23rd, provided we can all make it. Momof3sons, I’d better follow that checklist as well…lol.</p>
