I had a sprayer once, it worked fine with olive oil then we put something
else in it and it gummed up so much, we gave up clearing it out.  I dont use
aerosol cans though either.  I use a kitchen rag and a dab of oil.  One less
extra thing to have to buy when cycling home with all I could carry.

Sideline:  Today's shopping garnered me another set of odd looks.  The cart
had no boxed 'goodies' other than ice cream, one premix blueberry muffin bag,
and umm.  umm.  Oh yeah, 2 small boxes of mini egg rolls and a new to us
frozen oriental entree in a square box (garlic shrimp in veggies, 1.59$ and
2.5 servings it says, but will be 3 with leftovers over rice).  The guy at
the cash register just grinned.  Oh, I did get some premade progresso soups
and stuff like that.  And 2 loaves of a local bread type we love.

Vast majority of what I got was meat, fresh veggies, and fruits.  I do not
understand how folks make ends meet with all the prepared stuff.  For me
though, this was lower than usual but I had to 'find money' to replace the
washing machine that just died and this worked.  175$ 'new' quality washing
machine with some minor chips in the paint (wont notice those in our out of
the way back garage laundry area).  Nice machine, sells for 750$ new.  Tgis
one is a little less than 5 years old.  Lady has a laundry area right visible
in her hall and the front is a little dented and chipped from the kids.  In
her case, the looks were sufficient to replace it I guess.

Hehe he doesnt delete stuff from his base.  Thats good for the rest of us as
we can get odd things he doesnt like, from him on request.  For me, chances
are if i know I'll never want to make it, I delete it.  I'm also big on
shifting the catagories to suit my own style of lookups.  I split 'poultry'
for example to chicken, cornish hen, turkey, duck, and 'poultry' for anything
else NOT otherwise listed.
