- dry pasta, canned tomatoes, cheeses, more spices, rice -- nm - Andie Jul 27, 10:48 3
  - Serious question: Cheese can be kept in a pantry? -- nm - TWuG Jul 27, 10:50 2
    - no, but neither can all the condiments Max listed once they are open. -- nm - Andie Jul 27, 10:51
    - I counted fridge stuff like open bottles of condiments. I'd count cheese since it can store longer than eggs. -- nm - Max Jul 27, 10:51
- Baking: vanilla extract, cream of tartar, raisins -- nm - SyrDragon Jul 27, 10:48
- PB (both kinds), marshmallows, peanuts, pistachios, m&ms, nutmeg, cayenne pepper, brown sugar, evap - world's most beautiful creature Jul 27, 10:47

The entire USA Network is in a slump. How is that even possible? -- nm - David Jul 27, 10:36 16
- Not a good episode of Suits this week? I was going to catch up today. (spoiler) - Krusty Jul 27, 10:41
- It may not be humming, but Suits is great and the others are watchable. I think they're doing better than any network with more than six shows. -- nm - Max Jul 27, 10:41 11
  - Burn Notice, White Collar, Covert Affairs....we watch more on USA than any other network -- nm - SyrDragon Jul 27, 10:44
  - suits is ok. I have a huge crush on covert affairs. I watch necessary roughness as background noise, and royal pains with *just* more attention. - world's most beautiful creature Jul 27, 10:43 3
    - (and I don't know what happened with me and CA. S1 got me addicted. S2 left me uninterested, but S3 is pulling me back, albeit wary) -- nm - Max Jul 27, 10:49
    - Necessary Roughness may get its season pass deleted next week. - David Jul 27, 10:47
    - oh, right, I've never bothered with Common Law. I only turn Burn Notice on now because it leads into Suits. -- nm - Max Jul 27, 10:45
  - The worst three episodes of Suits have happened over the past three weeks. -- nm - David Jul 27, 10:41 5
    - I got worse? - TWuG Jul 27, 10:44 1
      - *it* It's a given that *I* have gotten worse - TWuG Jul 27, 10:46
    - I disagree. Humanizing Louis has been good, and that final scene last night rocked. -- nm - Max Jul 27, 10:43 2
      - As Kim said, Louis is the only thing they're doing right at the moment. -- nm - David Jul 27, 10:46 1
        
        That guy has the strangest face. It is unsettling to look at. - TWuG Jul 27, 10:48
- Burn Notice better improve or make this the last season. It is getting old, boring and predictable. - TWuG Jul 27, 10:38 1
  - This. The premise has run its course. -- nm - Mop (199 lbs) Jul 27, 10:39
- huh? -- nm - SyrDragon Jul 27, 10:36

I don't like that Olympic events take place before the opening ceremonies. I understand the logistical issues, I just don't like it. -- nm - Max Jul 27, 10:02 4
