Mrs. Alfred Packer wins a gift certificate (update 08-06)

Oh my.

This makes Mrs. Alfred Packer, relatively speaking, as rich as Croesus.

The deal is, Mrs. Alfred Packer works in the kitchen of a local nursing home, but hippyhubby Wild Bill takes her weekly paycheck away, and gives her an "allowance" of $10 a week.....paid with a counterfeit $10 bill.

So one is happy for Mrs. Alfred Packer.

1. oh, lucky you!!!
 
Will it be one large thing or a bunch of small ones?

A great new knife, or an appliance?

oh, you're going to have fun!

Mrs. Alfred Packer doesn't need any new knives.  Her hippyhubby Wild Bill got a whole lot of them, cheap, from the "surplus property" auction at the county coroner's office.

5. At first I was looking at a bunch of smallish things but then my old boss at work made a good point. I can buy those smallish things any time I want along the way, but I'm not likely to make a big purchase without the certificate. I hadn't thought about it that way, but she's right.

8. I don't have a lot of extra money to spend right now to add to the certificate and it seems everything I want in the area of a new saute pan and other items are out of my reach at the moment, and everything I'm looking at within the $100 among the things I would like to have are made in China...something I do not want. Very frustrating.

Mrs. Alfred Packer must be racist, Sinophobic, the yellow peril, all that.

9. So this is what I'm leaning towards.

I've spent three days looking and I keep coming back to this. Even though it, too, is made in China, I see no way around it for cookware I can afford.

What do you all think of this pressure cooker set?
 
after which a photograph and specifications of a pressure cooker

Uh oh.

How did Mrs. Alfred Packer know that a pressure cooker is involved in franksolich's upcoming sex novel about her?

13. It's so hard to spend free money...
 
But a fun problem to have. Congrats!

If you don't already have a pressure cooker, that one looks like a keeper and a nice multi-function set. I'll bet it's one you'd have a loooog loooong time and be very happy with it. It doesn't have to be top of the line to do a good job and last.

14. You wouldn't think it would be so tuff, would you?

I talked it over with Bill and we think that is what we are going to do. I also found out there's a 50/50 chance that it was made is Spain. I emailed for clarification.

It was your pressure cooker discussion here that got me seriously thinking about getting one.

15. Yea! If you've never cooked with a pressure cooker you're also purchasing a new experience in cooking! That's a big plus. I can't wait to hear what your experience is. Let us know. And that 4 qt. pot with the option of being used as a smaller pressure cooker or regular cooking pot looks very handy too. Have fun!

Pressure cookers can explode.

16. I never have used one.

My mom did occasionally and was always afraid of the thing because her grandmother had one explode on her, which is probably why I've never owned one.

I've mentioned this here before but I still have memories of my mom's mom being at our house when I was just a teenager. She seasoned some type of roast, cut small holes in it and inserted garlic cloves in each one. She browned it in suet and then cooked it in the pressure cooker. Never had a better tasting roast before or even since.

Last night I was still hedging on what I wanted to order and had myself talked back into a bunch of smaller items, but I'll probably go ahead and order the pressure cooker set.

Will probably need lots of cooking advice once I get it.

franksolich's advice to Mrs. Alfred Packer: don't use it.

Pressure cookers can explode.

Last I checked, making a decision WAS a part of thinking. Besides, what is so hard about buying 35 boxes of brownie mix, for those 'alternate' hippy additives you have stashed around the house?

This campfire alone gave me new ideas for a couple of more chapters in the upcoming sex novel about Mrs. Alfred Packer.

I'm now inserting a pig-tailed, bent-back, slippered, Chinaman into it.

When I want an item that I cannot afford, I save up until I can, and make do without it in the meantime. 

I believe a saute pan falls into the category of items that are not required for the continuation and sustainment of life.   

If I have $100 in a gift certificate, and wanted the fancy $200 pan, I would save up the the difference, which in this case, is $100. Simple.   

Then again, I don't have a Mr. Packer pilfering my paychecks.

Omuhgosherz!!!!  It's made in China.  RUN, RUN FAR AWAY!

A $100 gift card to a cooking site would help me add to my cake/cupcake decorating items.  That is if that site even carries such items.  I don't care where things are made.  It's hard finding things made in America.  So... good luck Mrs.

I've never been able to understand this.

Given that Red China is one of those socialist paradises of the workers and peasants with free medical care for all, one thinks the primitives would be breaking down doors, emptying their wallets, buying Red Chinese goods.

What's up with this dummie, is she mentally incompetent? Anyone know where I can get a back story on her?

Mrs. Alfred Packer, the "hippywife" primitive, has never been a top primitive--I don't think she's ever even been nominated.  So I have to write this from scratch.

Mrs. Alfred Packer hangs around the cooking and baking forum most of the time, but goes away to the lounge or gardening or rural forums when she senses franksolich is seeking additional material for a sex novel franksolich is writing.

Mrs. Alfred Packer was once christened "Grandma," but now she's Mrs. Alfred Packer.

Mrs. Alfred Packer was born and raised in a large, close, loving family in urban Ohio, but then threw it all overboard thirteen years ago, when she moved down to northeastern Oklahoma to marry "hippyhubby," now baptized as Wild Bill.  Mrs. Alfred Packer is 51 years old, which actually makes her a young 'un in the cooking and baking forum.  Wild Bill is a snarly old cuss with a bug-eye, whose favorite cuisine is chewing on bones.

Mrs. Alfred Packer works in a nursing home.  Wild Bill freelances, building expertly-camouflaged stills and laboratories in the forests and mountains of the area.

Wild Bill wears the pants in the marriage; totally dominates, intimidates, his wife Mrs. Alfred Packer.

Mrs. Alfred Packer despises the kind, caring, loving, generous people of Oklahoma, damning them all as "fundies."  It should be no wonder then, that Mrs. Alfred Packer is, uh, sort of sequestered out there in the backwoods.  The only humans with whom she intercourses are her in-laws, Wild Bill's mother, and brothers and sisters.

There is hardly anything in the world Mrs. Alfred Packer wants, than a chest deep-freezer.  However, Wild Bill won't buy her one, using the excuse that sometimes the electricity goes out.  That the electricity sometimes goes out has not prevented Wild Bill, however, from putting in not one, but two, refrigerators, in which he stashes big bundles of meat (origin uncertain, but one can reasonably assume.....).

franksolich is writing a sex novel about Mrs. Alfred Packer, publication of which is being delayed because of the recent addition of a pig-tailed bent-backed slipper-wearing Chinaman into the plot; franksolich has not yet decided if the racist sinophobic Mrs. Alfred Packer is going to hop around in the sack with him, or eat him.

This is just miscellaneous stuff about Mrs. Alfred Packer, but I'm sleepy at the moment.

Stay tuned, lars, sir.

26. Okay! I just spent this baby!
   
I had forgotten all about it for the last week or so...and I'm glad I did! I went back and looked at their saute pans and they had a tri-ply 5.5 qt. stainless saute pan marked half off! I got that and a set of 11 nested cookie/biscuit cutters and a pie crust shield!

I got stuff I will get much more use out of than the pressure cooker, although that would have been nice, too.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

One suspects the pans weren't made in the Celestial Kingdom, given that Mrs. Alfred Packer's a notorious racist sinophobe; she doesn't like yellow people and their products.
