My only hesitation with that is, I’d be afraid the oil would go rancid before I used it again and then I’m back to trying to dispose of it. I know, I seem weird. I’m really not.

I’ve thought about that, but we don’t use our firepit too much because we’re up on a hill and the wind is relentless. On the off chance that it stops blowing, the minute we light the pit, off all of the ignited flotsam goes into the yard and who knows where else. I suppose I could put it in an old pickle jar and…

Yeah, I saw that post. I too thought it was way more work than I wanted to put into it.

Capers! Yum!!

Maybe the pickles don’t air fry well because you can’t get rid of enough moisture? I don’t know, don’t have an air fryer. I don’t really fry anything ever because I don’t know how to get rid of the oil. Yes, I’m in a rural area and we have a small recycling program, but the only way to get rid of it would be to dump…

I’ve always cut my cantaloupe this way. I cut my watermelon and honeydew this way as well. So much easier than trying anything else. :)

I love cabbage and am definitely doing this! Hubs has a Camp Chef because...he had to have one. It’s remarkably consistent in temp and we’ve been very happy with it. We did a pork butt roast over Memorial Day, seasoned it, put it on at 250 around 11pm that night and took it off around 3pm the next afternoon. It was…

We had a bagel place near our previous home that had fairly good bagels and amazing veggie cream cheese spread. Now, I get amazing bagels and mediocre spread. :/

I use Newsblur and even the Skillet name in that has changed to Lifehacker. I’m using the intelligence trainer to block all the posts but yours, but I’m getting a ton that aren’t you. I only follow you :) I know it’s not up to you, I just wanted you to know, but I can’t find the Skillet branding anymore. :(

Claire! What happened to Skillet? Did that go away and it’s all now under Lifehacker?

I’ve done this too with the pre-peeled stuff though really, breaking apart a head and shaking the cloves in a glass jar for a minute peels them easily when I’m out of the bagged stuff. 

My mother and grandmothers didn’t either. While I can maintain better practices, I ate a LOT of that when I was a kid and I’m still here... ;)

Probably a good thing then that yesterday, I threw out that old bottle of Frank’s Red Hot Sauce that was multi-colored green and red...

I keep my bacon fat in the fridge, but pour it through a small square of cheesecloth first. It’s not the fat, it’s the bits and pieces of bacon that make it go rancid so quick. If you filter it first, it will keep for months.

This should be called, “I Keeeeel You If You Touch My Ganache” instead. Either that or I have to eat it all while hubs is at work...

I now have a craving for salt and vinegar chips.

I don’t think so. That’s the citric acid the sour candy is coated in and I think it’s different than the bromeline. I get that too when I eat a bag of sweetarts.

There is no explanation in the world for Cap’n Crunch.

Well, technically, tomatoes are a fruit...

I went through surgical complete menopause and it didn’t make a difference for me. But see, that’s why I think, with all the other studies they waste money on, they could spend that money on something useful and figure out why this affects some people and not others. Then again, I never touch cilantro because I can…
