watermelon sorbet or sherbet?
I am trying to make watermelon sherbet or sorbet. I found a recipe on Emeril's site for a simple sugar and add the melon in a food processor or blender, I wanted to put in heavy cream, i remember reading a recipe some years back that used heavy cream, i think, not sure, will this work, also if I wanted to do cantalope sherbet, does anyone have an answer, would like to know before I mess it up. Will the heavy cream curdle, because the simple sugar reciepe calls for lime zest for the watermelon, help, much appreciated, Pam

Grocery bagging violations
I work in a grocery store in Virginia,I bag my own grocerys. I am almost pschotic about my watermelon. In tne winter months when you can't by a whole watermelon for $4.99 I buy a section that has been cut and wrapped in the store.Usually about 1.00 a lb. not cheap. I take my time to pick out the best looking piece,nothing that looks bruised. I get up to the check out and carefully lay it on the belt.The check out person then procedes to scan it by dragging it face down across the scanner,then the bagger grabs it and has to literely put his thumb through the wrap to pick it up,In as little time as that takes my piece of watermelon is running with juice and hand and THUMB prints indented in it.Ibag my own grocerys!!!

Lip smacking meat pies
hi from pammy,I don't know the exact amount of ingredients,flavor to your taste.I boil potatoes just until tender,not mush.dice them up with a mixture of your meat. venision,pork,I have used.put the meat through a food prossesor till it looks like hamburger,mix with potatoes,add some finely diced carrots celery and onion,add some poultry seasoning or ground sage,I prefer poultry seasoning,salt,not to muc,and pepper.fill pie shell and top.bake about 40 minutes till pie crust browns. heat a jar of mushroom gravy or better pork gravy,comes out really well.

I too hate it when they try to put cleaning, personal hygiene, household pet products in with my food. That is when I start taking out the items and bag the items myself. They are not to keen about me taking the items out but I have to let em' know that is soooooooo wrong in sooooo many ways. I do compliment the ones that do a good job So far and between though.
By the way I like the idea of having the plastic bags against the law. I think all states should start right along with the plastic water bottles eg :Aquafina, Dasani the list goes on and on.....

From the other side of the fence, I work at a store that has self checkout but we often help the customers bag their groceries. Just like you all get annoyed that the checker just throws the items down to the bagger, we get annoyed when customers place things on the belt in an order that guarantees squishing unless we jump up and move things aside. I saw a women scan a watermelon and a cantaloupe directly after a loaf of bread and another scan a gallon of milk right after her eggs and bread. Not to mention the people who stand their bottles of wine (or other things) upright on the belt when there is obviously a problem when the item gets to the end of the belt.
Most of us have no problem bagging to your specifications as long as you let us know before we start bagging. I've seen the people who are incredibly interested in avoiding cross contamination as well as the people who don't care and just want as few bags as possible. If you tell us, (especially let us know you have your own bags before we've bagged half of your order) you'll save yourselves the anger or annoyance you've been expressing here.
And can I give a big thank you to people who scan (or place on the belt) their groceries in a logical bagging order, I love you all.

I made blueberry sorbet yesterday and the recipe called for 1 cup sugar and 1/2 cup water.

I would like to point out that the Hannford's chain in New England (and I think in some of the mid-Atlantic states too) has a great program for developmentally disabled kids. My daughter has been getting vocational education there for some time and is a complete "company woman" (she argues with me when I want to go to the other local stores). I can tell you that they train their packers very well...the first year my daughter was a "stocker" and placed products on shelves because she wasn't ready to concentrate on bagging. This year she is a bagger, and she has a great sense of accomplishment.

I had a frustrating experience at my local grocery store today (Wegman's) and remembered this thread on SE. My bagging rules are very simple and common sense: cold items together, heavier stuff on the bottom, lighter stuff on top, don't put all the heavy stuff in one bag. I don't eat meat so that's not an issue, and my favorite cleaning supplies are baking soda and vinegar so I don't care if those are together. I live a 5-10 min walk away from the store and I don't have a car, and I like being "green" so I always bring my own bags. It is much easier to carry 3 sturdy but heavier canvas bags than 12 flimsy plastic bags. Actually, they are the bags that the store sells, so you think the cashier would be used to them, but no.
The set up of the register is challenging if you have the reusable bags. Instead of having a belt that moves your items from the scanning area to the bagging area, there is an open space next to where the cashier stands that has the hooks with plastic baggies on them. That way, the cashier can scan the items and place them directly into the plastic bag. If you have reusable bags, which are a bit bigger, you have to loop the handles around the hooks. Some cashiers will just pick the items up and moved them to the bagging area, which involves *gasp* actually physically turning around! Now, today I was in a bad mood because the woman 2 people in front of me in line didn't have enough cash to pay for her groceries and had to get some items removed, which took a while. I only had $30 worth of groceries, about 1-2 bags worth. The cashier was a very pretty girl in her late teens/early 20s. First she asked me if I wanted her to "pass the items back" to me, and I had no idea what she meant, so I respectfully declined. Then she asked me to "hold the bag open" for her while she dropped the items in. I patiently explained how the other cashiers handled the reusable bags, and she whined, "But they fall off when I do that!" Honey, I am not your boyfriend, and batting your pretty little eyes at me is not going to get me to do your work for you. Funny how they don't fall off when the other cashiers do the same thing!
There is one very pleasant older woman who works there who actually thanks me for using reuseable bags. The rest are bored teenagers who seem pissed because they can't just use the plastic bags that are already there. I had one once who put the canvas bag I was buying INTO A SEPARATE PLASTIC BAG! I understand that earning $8/hr is not the pinnacle of your 16-year old life. But, please, exercise a little common sense and thought and you'll be much more prepared for whatever job the future holds, and you might even get a promotion, raise, or recommendation out of it!

I do my best to bag my own groceries in canvas bags. The closest supermarket to me has self-checkout so I always use it. The cashiers get too confused with I either a) tell them to use the bags that I brought, or b) tell them that I don't need a bag at all. The two of us went by the other day and bought 5 easily carryable things. When we told the cashier we didn't need a bag, it BLEW.HER.MIND. I will do self checkout from now on, thanks.
For large trips both of us always go, and one of us stands at the end of the lane and offers to bag everything ourselves. It makes the cashier very very happy. =)

@feistyfoodie - The dreaded folded gift bag situation! I so hear you on that one. I will be sure to incorporate the proper technique for "bagging" gift bags in my training video!

Ooh, the squished bread problem! I HATE squished bread, bf doesn't understand that! (He has squished my bread a few times - not a euphemism - and then gotten annoyed when I demanded he return it to the shelf and get me a new, unsquished one.)
Not grocery related, but I once went to buy gift bags and picked out some nice ones, and the cashier decided to fold them in half while my jaw dropped open and I cringed. I actually said "Umm... can you please not fold them" and she said it didn't matter. I went and got new ones... I don't want to give gifts looking all crumply and crap! WTF?
I would say the worst offense that happened to me was heavy stuff on top of my eggs. I want to say watermelon but I can't wrap my head around someone being that oblivious.
