Tomatoes
The chill of the icebox makes tomatoes dull and mealy. Store on the counter (under-ripe ones can go on the windowsill). If they begin to get too ripe, it’s time to make tomato jam or roasted tomato sauce.

It annoys me to no end when people put tomatoes in the fridge, then complain that "the grocery store ones" don't have any flavor.

Yes, they do, you're just destroying them with refrigeration and not allowing them to ripen properly before eating.

:cds:

My cousin actually threw away an entire flat of eggs because she left them out overnight. I was like wtf :eyebrow:

I dont like when people park in the fire lane at stores and they block traffic trying to get by and you have to go around them. thus causing more of a problem. and tailgaters and eating ice cream that has a wooden stick in it.

:cds:
I totally agree with you Vrai! I think Tomatoes assume the taste of the Fridge when put in there. As far as Eggs are concerned, if they are bought from the Store, they should be refridgerated right away. I might be wrong. Now with the eggs from my Chickens, I keep a small bowl of a few of them out for a few days. I've never had a problem with that, they seem perfectly fine.

My cousin actually threw away an entire flat of eggs because she left them out overnight. I was like wtf :eyebrow:
I would definitely do that. :lol:

Since I followed moms footsteps so here goes...Our potatoes, tomatoes and onions were never in the fridge so when I got my own home and family that's the way it was done. There was a bowl of fresh fruit on the table to grab from, so ditto.

Some that others think odd but I do... Peanut butter wasn't refrigerated nor pancake syrup, never had a problem of any kind.

Yes, they do, you're just destroying them with refrigeration and not allowing them to ripen properly before eating.

:cds:I won't eat tomatoes unless I can pick them out of the garden. Can't eat the store bought ones so I go without until summer. :shrug: Refrigerator tomatoes :barf: Onions I will hang in a cool place, but garlic goes in the fridge for convience.

People who spend 10 minutes washing their hands...

They are pasturized. Half the time I dont even put my eggs in the fridge. :lol:

Most eggs in the store are not pasturized unless specifically marked as such. It is a time consuming and expensive process. Washed, yes, but pasturized for the most part - no.

My cousin actually threw away an entire flat of eggs because she left them out overnight. I was like wtf :eyebrow:


It has taken me years (yes, years) to get my husband to eat eggs that aren't white. Finally he will eat them, now we've moved on to eggs that don't come from the store :clap:

It took two weeks worth of watching over a friends chickens while they were on vacation (in return we got the eggs) and two weeks worth of making deserts with said brownish eggs for him to give in and eat them.

He absolutely will not eat cookie dough though....

My uneducated opinion is that grocery store eggs come from situations where the birds are more likely to have salmonella. Local farmers hopefully don't raise their chickens in those conditions so I'm more likely to buy their eggs even if they've been sitting out, but I put them in the fridge right away. Dustin is paranoid about salmonella.

It bugs me when the dog licks her ass then licks my face THEN goes back to her ass.

I'm like...WTF????

Salmonella come from the Shell of the Egg, if not washed properly. The inside is as Sterile as it gets.

I have never refrigerated mine either and I'll add bread to the list as well. Someone once told me that refrigerating it makes it go stale or mold faster. I keep mine in a bread box, or freeze until ready to use.

...Someone once told me that refrigerating it makes it go stale or mold faster...

That is a big difference. Stale vs mold. Stale is still edible. I'd have the say the fridge help to keep the mold at bay. A loaf of bread (slowly eaten over the week) has mold setting in around one week or so marker; as opposed to two or three weeks in the fridge.

The person did say *mold*. I don't know if it's true or not, but I don't refrigerate the bread we eat every day anyway and it stays fresh and mold-free.

The only thing I do refrigerate from the posted list is berries. Guess I don't need to but I like them cold instead of room temp and they seem to last longer with good flavor.

Because the people who decide it would be great to do these things hire people who don't care to put them in, then hire people who don't care to maintain them, then when the budget is tight they cut the people who maintain them. Then a few years later they all start from scratch, convince people how great another "renewal" project would be, spend tons of money, and make sure they get front page coverage on the Emptyprise for the ribbon cutting that just by coincidence happens just before election day.

Yeah, I don't really see the need to spend that kind of money. My graduation was at my high school, on the football field. Guests sat in the bleachers. Had it rained, it would've been in the school auditorium. We had a graduating class of 320 people. It worked fine.

But, wait! There IS more!

Pet peeve #12; not being able to find Mr. Nake.

:evil:

But, wait! THERE IS more! Sabi gurl done founded Mr. 'Nake! That's not a pet addressing a pet peeve. It's a pet leading to...

Pet peeve #13; finding poor Mr. 'Nake done got caught up in the left front wheel...and got wrapped around inside the rim...and washed through the brake calipers however many revolutions it was from the barn yard to the end of the greenhouse. Suffice it enough to say, it was enough turns to make 'nake Sushi...which leads to pet peeve #14;

Having to take the right front tire off to remove and wash out 'nake sushi when we wuz on our way out to do some sighting and seeing and it is 90 some odd degrees and very humid and I already had my shower.

Sorry, Mr. 'Nake. I tried to stop.

Rest in...pieces.


:buddies:

Pet peeve #7; driving accrosst the barn yard and not seeing the 'nake in time to stop.

Pet peeve #8; backing up to make sure I missed him and...no 'nake.

But wait. There's more.

Pet peeve #9; looking around under the hook for a black 'nake amidst a sea of black hoses, belts and really good 'nake hidey spots.

But, wait! There's more!

EWWWWWWWW just how dead was he? :popcorn:

It was sad. I never kill nakes. He was just a baby 4 footer. So much life ahead of him...

:bawl:

When I open up a box of something that has the product in an interior bag - Bisquik, pancake mix, crackers, cereal, whatever - I always transfer what I don't use to a resealable bag and put it back in the box for storage. It would be great if the manufacturers would use resealable bags in the first place and be worth an extra couple of cents added to the price.

It really is disgusting how many people throw crap out their car windows. Is it that difficult to buy an ashtray for your car (if there isn't one in there) or wait til you get home to throw your McDonald's bag or beer can in a trash can?

Ice cream man feels the need to stop in front of my house to pied piper the hood. Although there are trash cans in front of every house, rip wrapper off and toss it on the ground is the way to go here. Even with their check cashers with them. Trashing my front daily. Once and only once I saw a woman walk across the street and toss her wrapper in a can, but she didn't bother to ask her children to do the same. In hindsight I think she was only booty shaking for her friends husband who was working on his car. *shrugs*

Well they better not show up in my nesting boxes to eat my eggs. I almost was bitten reaching in to a dimly lit nesting box to collect eggs. My eyes detected a dark mass around the eggs and I cracked the lid to see a snake coiled around the remaining eggs with one egg in its jaws :boo:

Once they find an egg source, they keep coming back obviously. So said snake this year (if there is one) will be relocated I guess?

Just how do you catch the snake without getting bitten? I'll have to get a 5 gallon container ready with a ventilated lid and maybe the garden hoe? If I can get a hold of the head to grab it, I can put it in the container. They always emit a nasty smell when threatened too - ewww I'll have that smell on my hands.

Yup. Snake stank. Nothing quit like it.

Job 1; find out how they are getting in coop and eliminate.
Job 2; plenty of light in coop (or flashlight)

I keep gloves all over the place and am comfortable grabbing ahold of their tails as they move away. Either that or pin their head with a foot or stick or something. Then, hold by back of head. Dealt with countless snakes in my life. Ain't been bit yet. Keep in mind that they can't get you much more than 2/3 their length.

I've handled tame ones in the past, just not wild ones. The biggest opening is about 3/4" hardware cloth unless they slither in from the barn side and get through an opening on the back wall that may be slightly bigger?

I figure a snake small enough to get in won't be big enough to eat an egg? We'll see.

I like the ones that can get in to be small enough for the chickens, the MOST vicious creatures on this, or any other, planet, to eat.

I hear ya - I saw them rip a mouse to shreds, and the lizzy-looking creature met the same fate. They will even eat slugs - ewww.

Hell. They'll eat other. Alive. One of the peeps had a little wound and her sisters were going at it. Vicious little bytches.

Yeah I don't understand that behavior at the sight of blood, they all turn into cannibals! People think chickens are these cute clucking things (and usually they are) when in fact they can be quite mean to each other.

I just added 5 Red Sex Link pullets into what I call the Big Girl Pen, and some of the hens immediately commenced to pecking the newcomers. I always stay close by so I can intervene if I need to, but it didn't take long before the pecking subsided. I have 3 more pullets to integrate into that pen, but I'll let them get bigger for another 2/3 weeks before I open the cage door to the mean cruel world of literally being hen-pecked.

1972 Gravel Pit @ the Stone Quarry. Mr. Slate was there to hand out diplomas and :yahoo: all the grads. No audio problems there, Fred was the commencement speaker.


Good morning all.

:coffee:


On topic:

People that drive through residential areas WITHOUT turning their music down. So disrespectful, its not like you can't hear the same song later.

People that pull up and hit the horn a half dozen times for someone that is obviously waiting for them. Watch out the window and tell your guest not to hit the horn. Better yet, have them get their lazy butt out of the car and knock on the door. grrrr!!!!!

Hmm...sounds like we live in a similar neighborhood.

We had four true reds that were a week old at Easter. We just put some 3 week olds (IIRC) in with them, 8 of them. A silver laced Wyndotte, 4 black sex links, a speckled Sussex and two Easter eggers and it was a hoot. The old gals would peck the babies on the head if they got too close. Just once. We kept a good eye for the first day and were a little nervous the next morning but, all is well and the babies are growing like...chickens...so the size disparity is fast becoming no longer a problem.

The thing is, the old girls, we let the dog play with them perhaps a bit too much early on and they are kinda...chicken. The babies, man, open the door in the morning and out they come! The old gals would kinda wait and see. This morning, now about a week all together, the whole flock comes wheeling out, bugs beware.

As for vicious, I had a TINY scab on my calf and we were sitting out with them, drinking beer, being losers who are entertained by chickens and the reds, man, one of them hit that scab, and all four of them had me bleeding in seconds. I have no doubt my leg would have been gone before I needed another beer! Vicious! :lol:

Just how do you catch the snake without getting bitten?

put an egg in their mouth. :lol:

Their teeth are angled back so one they bite into something, they can't spit it out

Mine always peck my fingernails due to the shiny polish I use. Yesterday they were also going after the beads on my sandals. Ouch that hurt.

I was in with the chickens with a scrape on my leg once, they went after it pecking, and I had to run to get out of there. Imagine what they could do to a toddler with a wound? Animals are not safe to leave around children, wild or domestic animals, makes no difference.

All you gotta do is stop flight and start fight. The chickens will react accordingly.

They can actually crack the egg with their jaws, then the jaws are free to bite something else ... :whistle:

Hey! this isnt a a LIKE thread! It's a hate thread!

People who walk across the road at midnight, Not in a crosswalk, In a unlit area,Wearing dark clothing then get mad at you, cruse u out and flip you the bird and throw a cup of gods knows what at your car for turning on your highbeams because you cant see them. So to the jackass who did that.....:duel:

Ugh, not to mention the ones that aren't just crossing the road, they are walking down the road in the travel lanes wearing all black/dark clothing in completely unlit areas.

I wonder how many pedestrians have been hit doing that.

It urinates me off when Das Guberment attaches a "fee" to something so they can say they didn't raise taxes. A fee is a tax under government camouflage!

Fried chicken makes you gag??

Maybe you should try eating the leg from the side instead of shoving the leg in your mouth lengthwise and sucking off the meat.. .. you know, like corn on the cob.. OH wait.. Does Corn on the Cob make you gag too?

:howdy:

make me gag.

I don't like the smell of scrapple frying ewwww.

I absolutely HATE when people don't use their turning signal. Really, is it THAT HARD...THAT DIFFICULT...THAT MUCH OF AN INCONVENIENCE or are you seriously THAT STUPID that you honestly think the stick on the side of your steering wheel is decoration? :rolleyes:

The problem with that turn signal thing is that (at least around the beltway in Montgomery county) it is warning to the drivers in the lane you want to change to.
It allows them to speed up and try to keep you from moving over.

That's the difference between a civilized land, Fredneck, and the land of the savage, SOMD. :lol:

Up here, you turn on your signal and your neighbor slows down to let you in. As you move South down 270, the further you get, the more on your own you are.
