sidcow Posted May 2, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted May 2, 2023 We keep bread in a high up (ish) cupboard. Problem is Mrs Sidcow is 4ft nothing. As she is generally in charge of chucking the out of date food when I put the bins out (demarcation innit) every other week I have to chuck the green stuff away I find at the back of the shelf.

In water a fresh egg sinks, they start to stand on on end as they get older. Neutral buoyancy to floating is a no no, unless its intended use is as a projectile? In all my 69 years, I don't think I've ever come across an 'off' egg. And I eat a lot of them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VILLAMARV Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 only cracked one open once and instantly knew. The smell.... It was multiple eggs in the measuring jug for an omelette too so that all got flung. It's what prompted me to start cracking them into a cup first before adding to whatever the mix is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mottaloo Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 If ever I buy butter (the real stuff) I always store in a butterdish in a cupboard and never the fridge, even in warm weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great minds my friend. I am also the only one who takes refrigerated butter out and places it in the butter dish. Mrs. A, however, will gladly use the last of the nice soft butter and not replenish it. When I find an empty butter dish and I have to get the nasty hard stuff out of the fridge I generally have murder fantasies. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though it happened before I was born I heard about it probably 879357474 times. That's either a hell of a solid toe or a poorly built radiator. Either way, your dad's a legend. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted May 3, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted May 3, 2023 (edited) Authenticity. Also see Genuine and Proper as in they're a proper football club. Just heard in a tv show "I love the authenticity of this house decoration" What does it mean? It's not an authentic house without that decoration. **** off, pretentious nonsense.
