Saturday Night Dinner Plans? 9/21/2024

[ItsJoanNotJoAnn]

What will you be having for supper tonight on this last day of
summer in the northern hemisphere?

I'm having Leo's Shrimp Bisque tonight. Last week at Aldi I
bought a stick/wand blender and I will try it out on this
dish for the chopped tomatoes, celery, and onions. Most
likely dessert will be a banana later.

A hamburger and fries here...

Have stuff to make chili and chicken/vegetable stew, but it's still in
the 80's here, so will make those when it gets cooler...

OH, Joan did you see this about Tupperware, another iconic brand bites
the dust:

"Tupperware Brands, the company that revolutionized food storage decades
ago, has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.

Orlando, Florida-based Tupperware plans to continue operating during the
bankruptcy proceedings and will seek court approval for a sale, "in
order to protect its iconic brand," the company said just before
midnight on Tuesday...

The company is seeking bankruptcy protection amid growing struggles to
revitalize its business. Tupperware sales growth improved some during
the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, but overall sales have been in
steady decline since 2018 due to rising competition. And financial
troubles have continued to pile up for the company...

Doubts around Tupperware's future have floated around for some time.
Last year, the company sought additional financing as it warned
investors about its ability to stay in business and its risk of being
delisted from the New York Stock Exchange...

In Tuesday's bankruptcy petition, Tupperware reported more than $1.2
billion in total debts and $679.5 million in total assets. Shares for
the company have fallen 75% this year and closed Tuesday at about 50
cents apiece...

In the 1940s, a man named Earl Tupper invented a product that would
transform how Americans store their food. Women started selling his
airtight plastic containers, dubbed “Tupperware,” to their friends and
neighbors. Soon, the product was everywhere—but by the 1980s, once
Tupperware’s patents started to expire, so were the copycats. This week,
after years of struggling to keep up with competitors, the company
behind Tupperware filed for bankruptcy...

Even as America entered a “golden age for food storage,” as Amanda Mull
put it in The Atlantic earlier this year, Tupperware fell into some of
these traps. Tupperware’s competitors have pulled ahead by making either
higher-priced glass containers that appeal to sustainability-minded
consumers—and look chicer in the modern fridge than old-school
Tupperware—or cheaper, lighter alternatives, Amanda noted. Tupperware,
it seems, got stuck in the middle: It didn’t meaningfully modernize its
design, but it also wasn’t all that cheap..."

I did see a blurb well over a year ago about them having
financial troubles which is their own fault. Overpriced,
have to wait for your order to be fulfilled, shipped, and
the CUSTOMER pays the shipping charges.

When Rubbermaid came out with all their housewares that
were 90% the same items as Tupperware I kinda figured it
would hurt them eventually. Go to the store, pick out
what you want, pay for it, and then it's yours with no
waiting for delivery. Cheaper, too, and as well made.

Yup, I got fine containers at the Dollar Store, it was a "Betty Crocker"
brand...

And I've got TONS of nice plastic containers from carry - out meals and
packaged stupormarket food, in fact I've got a ton of those containers I
have to dispose of, too many!

Amway, Avon, and Rubbermaid all had that personal in - home sales model,
now it's old - fashioned and unwieldy...

Another factor is that plastics became much cheaper, decades ago
Rubbermaid was a "premium" brand, as plastic was more expensive...

Tupper was always a scam. Good products, priced astronomically and sold
deceptively.

They started out using a mix of greed and social engineering. But they
weren't the only to do this: Avon, Fuller brush, etc. Many, many others
over many product lines.

Fuck them, and good riddance.

Last day of astronomical summer. Twenty-first day of meteorological
autumn.

Dinner: Salad with grilled chicken and sherry vinaigrette.

Lunch was a toasted cheese sandwich with thinly sliced onion and
sliced tomato.

I'm having Leo's Shrimp Bisque tonight.  Last week at Aldi I
bought a stick/wand blender and I will try it out on this
dish for the chopped tomatoes, celery, and onions.  Most
likely dessert will be a banana later.

BBQ grilled mild Italian sausage on a bun with some caramelize onion and
sauteed red and green peppers.

I roasted an acorn squash. Split in half, scraped out the seeds, put
butter in the center, seasoned with S&P and into the oven at 350F for an
hour. Brushed the melted butter along the cut side halfway through.
That's it.

I like a stick blender for soups. So convenient to be able to blend the
soup right in the pot on the stove. :)

Our dinner will be similar. Squashes are from the garden.
One feeds two.

I halve and de-seed the squash, then cut a small sliver
off their bases so they can sit upright and steady on an
oven tray.

Rummage in fridge for treasure; any or all of ( raw
mushrooms,peppers,spring onions, chillies, tomatoes,
bacon, calery, green leaves, fresh herbs, cheese,cooked
rice or chicken, olives, anchovies).

Chop the findings, season, add some olive oil, stuff the
mix in the squashes, mounded up with your hand. Brush a
dribble of the olive oil round the edge of the squash. Top
with crumbs (I crumb and freeze all left over bread). Bake
in oven.

If the fridge did not yield quite enough treasure for a
mound of stuffing, leave a hollow in your stuffing. 10
mins before the squash is cooked, break an egg in each
hole. and return to oven.

I'm having some left over sushi. Forgot I had it and the rice is a
little dried out. Not too good. But I will survive.
