#1 ...luxury prices for things like handbags and shoes are poised to keep climbing.

It's what somethings is referred to as snob appeal or neener-neener economics. The value of the item is determined by its unavailability to the (unwashed) masses.

#2 I do expect beef prices to fall, as drought makes it impossible for ranchers to feed cattle and sell their herds. Of course that’ll mean a shortage (and high prices) later.

#3 Remember - ketchup is a condiment, a vegetable, and a pasta sauce. Shop smart: shop S-Mart.

*Veblen Goods, for example. Some other terms as well, though not flattering.

#6 Swedes believe ketchup on spaghetti is a thing. Italians look on aghast.

#8 Swedes believe ketchup on spaghetti is a thing.

It’s red and a sauce. ;-) I had a Czech au pair who made that for the trailing daughters regularly. The nice thing about using ketchup is that she always made a smiley face with it on the noodles.

The Italian ice cream shops in Germany make an ice cream sundae that looks like spaghetti with red sauce — very popular with children. So they have no business complaining what others do in the privacy of their own homes.

Also, I’ve read that catsup was invented in India. I have no idea how they use it, but I’m sure it isn’t on hamburgers.

#9 According to the internet I am wrong: ke-tsiap was invented in Vietnam as a pickled fish sauce, got that name in southeastern China, then made its way to Indonesia (ketjap) and Malaysia (kechap). Brought to England by sailors, the English version involved mushrooms and resembled Worcestershire sauce — only after reaching America were tomatoes added to the thing.

#10 I'm guilty.

Mac & Cheese, hamburger, ketchup to taste. Babysitter friendly, and a My First Dinner Prep meal.

Or wait until an adult got home and felt like cooking. Don't think I could eat it again for less than a real pinch.

And yes. Smiley faces.

#18 My dad's family was 14 kids. Cancer in at least half. Lots of dementia. A couple just got really old (95+) before death.

I figure dementia is in my future. My dad and a couple brothers went that way. Every time I have difficulty remembering anything my blood goes cold.

#19 There's no doubt the wrong environmental exposures lead to cancer. Usually, it's obscure sarcomas. Genes are still the big issue.

#20 Five siblings and mom and dad. 4 of 7 brain tumors and one throat neck.

The only ones without cancer are my wife and FIL.

2 glioblastomas and that ain’t hereditary. Her youngest brother has a glio and has moved in with us in ATL.

There’s something in the water

But riding that incline down from Mt Washington and getting on the boat to go see the Steelers is awesome

I’ll probably have to a Falcons game this year, I think Pitt plays here

#22 Was sad to read of Tony Siragusa's death yesterday. I sat at old Pitt stadium (my dad was Pitt, Chemistry, 1954, Pitt Med School 1958) and watched Siragusa, Dorsett, Marino et al play. Pitt still has more National Championships than Penn State. Dial that up if you want to start a fight.

Used to go to Golden Panther brunch and have Golden Girls sit on my horny teenage lap.

#24 There’s something in the water

My dad took a clean shirt to work to change into after lunch. When I was a kid we talked about the "rotten egg" smell in the air. I toured the coke plant at Clairton and several melt shops in the Mon Valley in high school honors chemistry. Heavy metal in the air, and we aren't talking music.

The Chem E's at Neville Chemical all used chew or dip because the air was so foul.

ND win
Pitt loss
And PSU loss

But that week between Christmas and New Years who cared.

I ate so much shrimp-on-stick from those street vendors and hurricanes at Pat O’Brian’s.

I’m lucky to have my own liver and colon

#42 "only after reaching America were tomatoes added to the thing."
Without tomatoes I don't think it's actually a relative of Ketchup. Just a condiment with a similar name/function.
