Weekend Snack Recipe: PB&J Sandwich for Grown-ups
On weekends, I occasionally get distracted with projects and errands and forget to eat lunch, leaving me a quivering mass of low blood sugar and belly rumbles by 2PM. As our parents knew all too well, a peanut butter and jelly sandwich is a perfect pick-me-up for moments like these, offering a quick hit of protein and a satisfying touch of sweet in every bite. Here's a fun grown-up version of PB&J which involves an intriguing mix of miso-laced peanut butter and strawberry/rosemary/black pepper jam. Maybe a little more sophisticated than Mom's usual variety, but oh so delicious!
While this sandwich is a delicious snack, it also makes a nice party hors d'oeuvre. Simply spread a piece of bread with the peanut butter-miso mixture and cut into single bite pieces. Dab each piece with some of the strawberry jam and garnish with a tiny spring of rosemary.
It is very important to use a natural peanut butter for this recipe and if it's a bit oily, that's fine. The miso often causes the peanut butter to stiffen, so it's helpful to have it a little runny to start with. It's also important to use unsalted peanut butter as the miso will provide plenty of salt to the mixture. Why use miso? Besides adding the saltiness, miso adds a certain depth and complexity to the peanut butter which is quite nice.
Speaking of which, miso does vary in saltiness, depending on what kind and what brand used. So start with a smaller amount and taste as you go, adding more as needed. Also, while I used a whole grain bread for today's photographs, this sandwich is also delicious on slices of crusty baguette or brioche. And as with the hors d'oeuvre option, it's sometimes nice to serve it open-faced, too.
3 tablespoons strawberry jam
Small pinch of finely chopped fresh rosemary
Small turn of the pepper mill
Peanut Butter
3 heaping tablespoons no-salt, natural-style peanut butter
1 scant tablespoon light, white miso
1 scant tablespoon butter or peanut oil, as needed
Bread of your choice (I used a whole grain sandwich loaf here)
In a small bowl, mix the jam, rosemary and pepper and set aside.
Mix the peanut butter and miso in a bowl and taste. Adjust accordingly, adding more peanut butter or miso as needed. If the mixture is too crumbly, add a little butter or peanut oil for a softer consistency.
Taste the jam again and add more rosemary or pepper if needed.
Spread peanut butter-miso mixture on a slice of bread, following with the jam mixture. Cover with a second slice of bread and carefully cut into triangles.
• This sandwich is excellent grilled in butter, just as you would a grilled cheese.
• If you like more heat, try adding a fresh chopped chili to the jam.
• Substitute unsalted almond butter for peanut butter ( I almost like the almond butter better than peanut butter!)
• Try other combinations like almond butter-miso with peach/thyme or quince/rosemary jam. The delicious possibilities are endless!

Ford Motor Co. shares sank early Monday after an Ohio judge said the automaker had to pay nearly $2 billion in damages to thousands of dealerships who participated in a 2002 class-action lawsuit. But the shares pared their losses as several analysts downplayed the news and said Ford can absorb the damages even if loses a planned appeal.
THE SPARK: Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Judge Peter Corrigan in Cleveland issued the ruling based on a Feb. 11 jury determination that the company overcharged dealers for commercial trucks over 11 years. The $2 billion award covers more than 3,000 dealerships and about 474,000 trucks. It includes a judgment of about $781 million and about $1.2 billion in interest.
Ford is appealing the decision. Ford chief counsel David Leitch said Monday that it will likely take several years for the case to wind its way through the Ohio appeals system.
Standard and Poor's reiterated its "Buy" rating on Ford Monday afternoon, saying that if Ford loses the appeal it would be "costly but absorbable," with Ford taking a hit of around 47 cents per share. Barclays Capital analysts also reiterated a "Overweight/Neutral" rating and said they don't expect a significant impact to Ford's cash position in the near term because of the length of the appeals process.
THE BACKGROUND: The class action included all dealers who purchased a 600-series or higher truck from Ford from 1987 to 1997. Plaintiffs accused the automaker of failing to reveal that price concessions were given to some dealers.
Ford said Monday that it believes the court committed numerous errors, including certifying all of the dealers as a class.
"This decision is far outside the bounds of normal legal procedure," Leitch said. He noted that Ford won a similar case in federal court in 2009.
STOCK ACTION: Shares fell more than 3 percent to as low as $12.78 on Monday, but pared losses to finish down just 21 cents at $13.14. Ford shares have traded in a 52-week range of $9.75 to $18.97.

Every year, the Japan Association for the World Food Programme hosts a competition inviting Japanese people to write and think about the importance of food.
In a country where the large majority of people have enough to eat, the contest encourages all people – including children – to rethink the theme of "what it means to eat" and the very real challenges of hunger that affect many countries around the world. For every work submitted, US$0.35 is donated to WFP by corporate sponsors. Last year, nearly 10,000 works were submitted, providing enough school meals for approximately 14,500 children.
The most recent essay contest in 2011 featured a number of essays on the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami, which happened on March 2011 and left nearly 19,000 dead or missing. Below is a translation of one such featured essay by Ms. Eriko Takahashi, winner of the middle and high school division, who wrote about her experiences as they related to food during the Great East Japan Earthquake.
"To Eat is To Live"
Miyagi Prefecture, Oosaki City Furukawanishi Middle School 2nd Year Student
Eriko Takahashi
I live in Miyagi Prefecture. On March 11th of this year, I experienced the Great East Japan Earthquake. The season has since changed, and nowadays when people have begun to wear long-sleeve shirts, food is almost always sold. Buying food is no longer something to be happy about; it has become expected. Newspapers have inserts advertising items for sale regularly now, and I see my mother browsing through them.
When the earthquake struck, it was a cold day, with snow falling lightly. That food lasted for a while without going bad was a blessing among the unfortunate events. That night for dinner, I ate the crust of some bread that I had left uneaten for lunch. If you get a piece of bread that had lettuce or ham stuck on it, you were lucky. There was no electricity, so it was difficult to find the "lucky" pieces of bread by only flashlight. Other days we cooked brown rice and ate that. We weren't trying to be health-conscious – we ate it because we had no choice – so it wasn't very good, and at times I got stomachaches. Sometimes we rode for tens of minutes looking for food, and when we were lucky enough to get gasoline for our car, we lined up at the long lines at the supermarket to buy food that would fill our stomachs. What allowed us to bear the situation was the hope that we would someday overcome it, and believing that there were others more unfortunate than us.
My region is on its way to recovery, thanks to the support of people around the world. Just as I was feeling this gratitude, thinking about ways that I could be of help to others, I learned about WFP's school meal programme. I am thankful that I can support the school meals programme as I imagine people smaller than me smiling and eating delicious school meals. I had never taken the words "to eat is to live" as seriously as I do now.

Married Orange Mandy
She's happy and I am happy for her. Her husband, after pretending he was all punk as f-ck, came back for her on his hands and knees. Mandy Moore is worth it.
Which is why it makes me sad to see an orange Mandy, photos from this weekend, in Vegas, borrowing Lindsay Lohan's spray tan to give herself a dirty face.
Looks like Mandy will be kicking off promotion soon for her new album Amanda Leigh due out May 26th. The video for the first single is now online and I… don't like it. Any of it. She looks great. Gorgeous. But the song is lame. The title sucks. And her lipsynching, it's like she's barely moving her lips. On purpose …
I mean, I guess it's one thing to go all hard core cockmouth like Jessica Simpson or over-emoting like Rossum, and then another entirely to make like your teeth don't come apart when you're singing so that it looks like you're not singing but talking. Seems contrived. Hate that Mandy Moore looks contrived. Because Manday is one of the good ones and she desperately needs a hit.

Reproductive Health Reality Check reports that President Obama may well cave in to the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops soon and withdraw regulations that are part of the health care reform bill requiring insurance companies to provide birth control without a co-pay.
Women's groups working to save coverage of women's health care under health reform are concerned that President Obama will cave as early as this weekend to demands by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (all 271 men) to eliminate coverage of birth control without a co-pay.
The reason? The President thinks he "owes" the Bishops for help with passage of health reform…
This is a tax on women. Birth control without insurance coverage can run as much as $600.00 per year. Without consistent access to birth control, women face constant risk of unintended pregnancy, abrogating their fundamental rights to plan their families and make decisions about how many children to have and when; to decide about their own educational and economic paths; to safeguard their own and their family's health. Such a tax will of course fall most heavily on low-income women, and therefore most heavily on Latina, African American, and Native American women who already make up a disproportionate share of this economic group.This is a tax on women, one many groups expect the President may levy as soon as this weekend… because, you know, a holiday weekend is the best time to engage in an act of capitulation and have it get less press attention.
I don't really buy the notion that this is a tax; it isn't paid to the government, after all, it's paid to insurance companies. But that's not terribly relevant to the real issue here. Access to birth control is an absolutely crucial aspect of preventative health care. I hope they're wrong about Obama caving, but I wouldn't bet against it. He's been mostly invertebrate up to this point.

ITV costume drama Downton Abbey has emerged as one of the frontrunners for this year's Emmy Awards, gaining 16 nominations.
Downton, starring Hugh Bonneville, Michelle Dockery and Dame Maggie Smith, is already an award-winning show and has proved a success across the pond picking up four gongs at the US show last year.
Its nominations this time include a lead actress in a drama series for Michelle, who plays Lady Mary Crawley, and lead actor for Hugh as the Earl of Grantham.
Dame Maggie is nominated in the supporting actress category for her role as the acid-tongued Dowager Countess of Grantham, alongside Joanne Froggatt, who plays domestic servant Anna.
Brendan Coyle, who plays valet John Bates, and Jim Carter, who plays the butler Carson, are both up for Outstanding Supporting Actor In A Drama Series.
Ad agency hit Mad Men and the miniseries American Horror Story are frontrunners at the prestigious awards with 17 nominations each. Modern Family, honoured as best comedy series for two years, is the sitcom leader with 14 bids.
There was also nomination success for BBC1's Sherlock with its stars Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman nominated for Outstanding Lead Actor and Outstanding Supporting Actor In A Miniseries Or A Movie respectively.
Benedict is nominated in a strong field including Woody Harrelson, Kevin Costner and Bill Paxton. Also nominated are fellow Brits Clive Owen for Hemingway and Gellhorn and Idris Elba for his role in Luther.
The awards are presented at a ceremony on September 23.

Robert Dudgeon's sphygmograph, London, England, 1876
Blood pressure is measured and recorded using a sphygmograph. It is strapped to the wrist. The pulse beat is transmitted to a lever which records it on smoked paper. The first efficient sphygmograph was designed by Étienne-Jules Marey (1830-1904) in 1863. This example belonged to Dr Robert Ellis Dudgeon (1820-1904). He was a prominent figure in homeopathy. Dudgeon also made his own changes to Marey's original design. It was made by instrument maker J. Gauter in 1876. In the late 1800s, physiology teachers used sphygmographs to visually demonstrate blood pressure. Instruments such as this were also valuable diagnostic aids. They were the predecessor of the modern arm cuffs physicians now use to measure blood pressure.

Mini-horse rescued from Ceres canal
CERES, Calif. - A mini-horse was rescued from an irrigation canal Saturday morning.
A security officer with Turlock Irrigation found the 4-foot female horse trapped in a canal on the 4400 block of Crowslanding Road around 8:51 a.m., Ceres Fire Battalion Chief Michael Lillie said.
When fire crews responded to the scene, they found the horse stuck in the canal with about a foot of water. Lillie said the sides of the canal were too steep for the horse to climb out on her own.
About a quarter-mile down from where the horse was found, firefighters found a ledge that would allow the horse to get out safely.
Lillie said a couple of firefighters got into the canal with the horse, tied a rope around her and helped her climb out of the canal; it took crews 15 minutes to free the animal.
The horse suffered some scuffed up hooves from trying to climb up from the canal on her own, but was otherwise unharmed.

Like all such speeches, President Obama's second inaugural address included meditations on the uniqueness of the American experiment and calls for national unity. But without offering the sort of legislative laundry list found in State of the Union addresses, Obama also used the occasion to articulate a series of policy objectives. The forcefulness of the speech — along with recent actions such as his refusal to negotiate with Republicans on raising the debt ceiling — suggest that he will be a more ardent advocate for his positions in his second term than he was in his first.
In his first inaugural address, Obama proclaimed "an end to the petty grievances and false promises, the recriminations and worn-out dogmas, that for far too long have strangled our politics." Four years later, he knows better. But even as he conceded Monday that compromises would be inevitable and "our work will be imperfect," Obama made it clear that he would press aggressively for his vision of a robust federal government.
The president promised that his administration would address climate change, "knowing that the failure to do so would betray our children and future generations." He insisted that children "from the streets of Detroit to the hills of Appalachia to the quiet lanes of Newtown" must be kept safe from harm, an allusion to his recent call for gun-control legislation.

Stepfather: Unrated, The (US - BD)
Gabe thinks Terry O'Quinn could teach Dylan Walsh a thing about parenting...
All American misfit Michael Harding (Penn Badgley) returns home on hiatus from military school to find his mother Susan (Sela Ward) ready to marry David Harris (Dylan Walsh), a total stranger that entered the family suddenly in a six month period. Michael immediately doesn't trust David, first in a general sense, but soon his paranoia develops into obsession, much to the chagrin of his girlfriend Kelly (Amber Heard). The paranoia, it turns out, is not unfounded, as 'David' is actually serial killer obsessed with creating the 'perfect' family.
The original Stepfather is both an underappreciated and an over-praised thriller. The masses mostly missed the boat on it, while the critics went nuts for it. It's good, better than its more slasher oriented sequels, but it's far from a masterpiece. Mostly it's worth seeing for Terry O'Quinn's layered and chilling performance (I like to pretend he's playing the same character on Lost). There's definitely room for improvement, so a remake isn't out of the question, but the aforementioned sequels didn't leave a lot of room for new ideas, and the comparisons to films like Fatal Attraction (which itself has been basically remade a dozen times over), The Talented Mr. Ripley (filmed twice) or The Hand That Rocks the Cradle don't help. Various television thrillers have also used the formula over the years (I think that every iteration of Law and Order has a Stepfather episode at this point), a fact that isn't lost on this adaptation, which often feels like a made for TV movie. Specifically a made for CW movie. Hiring television director Nelson McCormick (who apparently takes breaks between television projects to remake '80s horror films), and a large cross-section of television actors doesn't help.
The enduring problems of beautiful upper-class white people don't make for an interesting take on the material. I wish I could appreciate the 'classier' more 'adult' treatment of the themes, especially after years of Platinum Dunes and Rob Zombie grit and grime horror remakes, but a big part of me thinks that a little exploitation would've done this particular project well. Attempts to make the situation realistic just make the whole thing seem more far-fetched. Perhaps a bit of stylized silliness, or grindhouse violence would've made the less believable pills easier to swallow. The runtime is a bit oppressive as well. A less involved and repetitive 80 minute flip through really would've worked just as well, especially considering the way the story here unfolds, which is first year screenplay class rules the whole way through. The subplot romantic drama between Michael and his girlfriend squeaks the plot to a standstill every time it rears its head, and would cut at least 20 minutes out of the final product.
The characters are generally likable enough, if not a little generic, but so much of the suspense of the situation depends on the audience being torn between rooting for or against the various characters that 'likable enough' doesn't cut it. The teenagers are mostly defined by how good they look in bathing suits, and though Dylan Walsh doesn't drop the ball in any overt form, I can't help but compare him to O'Quinn, who slam-dunked the role the first two times around. There's some threat to Walsh's performance, but the best parts are literally visually translated by McCormick, who manages to create a couple of interesting gothic images as the film progresses. These are mostly undermined by a few too many 'creepy' shots of David watching people, which really lose their punch.
The Stepfather director Nelson McCormick takes some pretty big steps to make his film look like it wasn't made for television, which includes the wide 2.40:1 framing, and a lot of stylized lighting set ups (which unfortunately reminded me a lot of a television series). Contrast, sharp forefront details, and shallow focus are the name of the game, along with a lot of blue-whiteness. The whole film appears to have been lit entirely with fluorescent lights when not shooting in daylight, which creates an artificial sheen, which kind of sells the film's themes, if not in a rather obvious manner. The outdoor scenes lead to particularly pale skin tones, while the dark interiors revel in particularly sharp blacks. There's a lot of fine grain, but it's almost all tiny and black, and there's almost zero noise. The softness of the background details doesn't lead to too a whole lot of sharp wide-angle details, but the detail levels are consistent based on focus, and rarely feature any inkling of edge-enhancement or dulled elements. The harsh exterior whites are especially impressively reproduced. The colours are cleanly represented for the most part, and McCormick aims for a more homogenized blue or green look, so there are plenty of poppy warm elements that cut sharply against the mass of the experience.
The Stepfather comes fitted with the usual Sony DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track. The film has a pretty effective front three channel mix that presses out the basic effects, music, and dialogue. The basic design doesn't move too much into the rear channels excepting some general outdoor incidentals, and a few extraordinary wind effects. The last act features a relatively intense storm sequence that gives all 5.1 channels a decent workout, but on the whole this is a pretty understated mix. The soundtrack is consistently inundated with pop and rock music that doesn't fit the scene. I'm assuming there was some kind of deal made with Sony's musical branch, but the effect is very obnoxious, creating the feel of someone messing around with their iPod over the same audio frequency. This music is the most aggressive directional work, as it's usually coming from some kind of on-screen source. The best example is the heavy metal the youngest kid listens to upstairs, which comes nicely and naturally though the rear channels.
Extras begin with a commentary track featuring director Nelson McCormick and actors Penn Badgley (from New York) and Dylan Walsh, which can be watched with a MovieIQ option activated. The track is entertaining in terms of the comparisons between this film and the original, which McCormick clearly respects, but a lot of the discussion is devoted to stating the obvious concerning the on-screen action and plotting. McCormick takes pains to interview his actors a bit, and is a decent moderator, but the subject matter doesn't bridge the gap, or make me want to like the film anymore. Too much 'this is my favourite scene', 'you shot this so beautifully' and 'your acting here is amazing'.
'Open House: Making the Film' (20:10, HD) is a decent, yet fluffy EPK look behind the scenes. Subject matter includes talk of the original film (too bad they didn't get the rights to footage), casting (including changing one of the key roles to a male), direction, on-set work, storytelling, set construction and location shooting, cinematography, and direction. 'Visualizing the Stunts' (11:30, HD) looks at the preparation behind the film's various stunt moments, including a mix of storyboards, behind the scenes, and final footage. Things close out with a gag reel (4:50, SD), trailers, TV spots, and trailers for other Sony Blu-ray releases.
The Stepfather has a bit of style, and some decent performances, but it falls short on pretty much every other account, and is one of the least thrilling thrillers I've seen in a while. Despite concerted efforts to make the film look cinematic it feels like a made for TV movie from the top down. This Blu-ray release looks and sounds fine, and features better than awful extras, but I really cannot recommend a purchase. Look for the semi-recent re-release of the original Stepfather on plan old DVD instead.

Who are you disagreeing with?
I disagree. The movie was awful and Walsh's performance was too over-the-top. It's a pretty-looking movie, but not a decent one.
Phil92, i totally agree that Prom Night was awful (in fact aside from Brittany Snows good performance in it, i consider it one of the worst movies i've ever seen). i can't give a full, knowledgeable review/opinion of THE STEPFATHER because i tried watching it twice(!!) and it was so bad (what i saw) that i turned it off. i love Sela Ward too but she couldn't save this movie. and Dylan Walsh is a joke as a "psycho". just terrible casting w/ him. the original is a VERY disturbing (in a GREAT way) terrific movie (and i'm not one of those "all remakes suck" type of person. i honestly gave this 2 shots and it was abysmal (again, the parts i saw).
I thought this one was OK, actually. Much better than I anticipated, no less after the director's last (awful!) outing 'Prom Night'.
Original is far and away superior, though, and I hear the BD of that is being released this summer...

Hello, Mark I think Debian is well established as a reliable server operating system, and Ubuntu *is* Debian. However, I'm not asserting that Debian or Ubuntu are better for clustering than other distro's. The thread I started is about using Kerrighed under Ubuntu. Most of the Kerrighed development has been done under Mandriva, but I want to use Ubuntu. What I am saying is that Ubuntu users are interested in clustering. I use Ubuntu on our Beowulf for several reasons but, in particular, we use Bio-Linux: http://nebc.nox.ac.uk/nebc/tools/bio-linux I ported openMosix to Ubuntu 6.06, but I'm now planning to replace it with Kerrighed. Much of the bioinformatics and modelling work we do is embarrasingly parallel and SSI is appropriate for that. We access the system via NX desktops, and Ubuntu presents a much more polished user interface than Debian, which is why I switched from Debian to Ubuntu. There have been discussions here before about why the APT system is poplular. As a matter of fact, I used APT for RPM when I used RH-based systems. Although I am, clearly, advocating Ubuntu for HPC it is more from the perspective of advocating HPC for Ubuntu. I understand that people using HPC in other areas would equally want to use e.g. CentOS for similar reasons that I want to use Ubuntu. What we all want to do is use HPC in a familiar environment that supports our work. I don't think *any* distro is 'best' for HPC, but many groups want to use a particular distro because their favourite software is available.

LEXINGTON, Va. – Guilford limited Washington and Lee to just 5-of-13 on third down and 1-for-4 on fourth down en route to posting a 16-7 victory over the Generals in ODAC football action on Saturday evening at Wilson Field.
The loss was W&L's first at home since September 25, 2010 when the Generals fell to Averett, 20-10. It snapped a 16-game home winning streak that was the third-longest in Division III.
The Generals (2-2, 0-1) moved the ball well on their opening two possessions, only to have penalties stall out drives after moving into Guilford (2-2, 1-0) territory. The Quakers then pushed across a score at the 8:40 mark of the second quarter as sophomore running back Josh Schow (Herndon, Va./Herndon) capped a 13-play, 45-yard drive with a 1-yard touchdown run. The Quakers began the drive on the W&L 45-yardline after stopping the Generals on a 4th-and-2 play.
After forcing W&L into a 3-and-out on the next possession, Guilford produced a 13-play, 48-yard drive that ended with a 39-yard field goal by sophomore placekicker Tyler Hunt (Gibsonville, N.C./Eastern Guilford) for a 10-0 lead that it carried into the halftime break.
Hunt booted a 41-yard field goal on the opening drive of the third quarter to push the Guilford lead to 13-0 at the 12:44 mark. The Generals scored their only points of the contest on the next possession as senior quarterback Nick Lombardo (Duluth, Ga./Peachtree Ridge) scored on a 7-yard touchdown run to end a 13-play, 75-yard drive that made it 13-7 with 6:51 left.
Guilford responded to the W&L scoring drive with a 15-play, 59-yard drive that ended with a third Hunt field goal, this time from 31 yards out for a 16-7 lead.
The Quakers stopped W&L on a 4th-and-3 from the W&L 43-yardline early in the fourth quarter and the Generals missed a 31-yard field goal on their second drive of the fourth quarter to keep it a two score contest. The Quakers then ran off the final 6:17 of the clock with an 11-play drive that was aided by three W&L penalties that gave Guilford automatic first downs.
The Generals gained a season-low 263 yards in the contest led by first-year running back Marshall Hollerith (Richmond, Va./St. Christopher's), who gained 133 yards on 24 carries. Lombardo gained 38 yards and a touchdown on 14 carries, and completed 3-of-7 passes for 16 yards and one interception. Junior defensive back Brandon Taylor (Petersburg, Va./Dinwiddie) totaled a team-best nine tackles to lead the defense, which limited Guilford to just 273 total yards.
Guilford was paced by Schow, who rushed 28 times for 104 yards and one touchdown. Sophomore quarterback Matt Pawlowski (Greensboro, N.C./Northwest Guilford) completed 15-of-29 passes for 146 yards and rushed four times for 21 yards. Senior wide receiver Nick Mearite (High Point, N.C./Ragsdale) added six catches for 62 yards and junior linebacker Robert Smith (Winston-Salem, N.C./R.J. Reynolds) posted a team-high 12 tackles.
Washington and Lee returns to action on Saturday when it travels to Emory & Henry for a 1:00 pm contest.

The School Of Rock covers Mirrored by Battles in its entirety
If you're not familiar with School of Rock, it's an organization that, among, teaches kids to play instruments, sorta like the movie with the same name, only with less Jack Black antics.
There's a very successful location here in Portland that everyone loves, and this month, a group of them covered Mirrored in its entirety, and while the efforts are not flawless, it's incredible to watch and listen to nonetheless.

Just a bit of harmless rubbernecking
The purpose of a shopping list, in my case, is to remind me of what I need because my mind may go blank when I enter the store. Overwhelmed by all the merchandise, I'm likely to forget what I came to buy.
Generally I need just a word or two for each item, and often the words are abbreviated. For example I might write "deod." (which stands for "deodorant") or "pdr. sugar" (which means "powdered sugar.")
I found a list in my shopping basket this week that used a much different style. The author wrote the list in progressively longer phrases. The only thing abbreviated was "SF" which probably meant "Sugar Free. Here it is:
picture frames!
2- 8x10
1- 10x10 or 17 (Dad's Navy pic)
SF - Fudgsicles
SF - angel food cake
SF - Strawberry glaze
pick up green rug for around commode!
Other rug 31" X 52"
get pants for Mom for Martha (green or pink)
Maybe large top for me (petite large)
Sally's Beauty Supply
Get 2 New Image Instant Freeze
Probably get 1 New Image Super Hold, depending.
This list was lost at WalMart -- the top stop on the page. I hope the writer remembered all she needed at the rest of her stops.
