Not because I don't have any money, mostly because I didn't feel like getting off my rear end and going to buy more bread... Get better bread next time. I've found marblr rye not only is the best for pb, it lasts scary long. That or get a bread box. 4 day weekend coming up. Planning on getting poo poo faced and barbecuing. Just gotta last two more days.

It's been on the shelf for a week or two, just went right from not moldy at all Sunday to basically the whole bottom of the loaf covered in green splotchy mold today. I always forget how fast it explodes into a mold bomb once it gets started.

My Grandmother always cut the mold off of bread, never killed any of us. I did once make a PBJ in the dark and only found out a few days later the jelly was all moldy. Explained why my kidneys hurt for a few days.

A few weeks ago, someone brought bagels to work on a Monday. I ate increasingly stale bagels (with room temperature cream cheese) until someone threw them out on Friday.

Someone left half a bag of potato chips in the break room last week. They were still there, untouched, yesterday. So I ate them. Good god they were stale, but they still tasted enough like sour cream and onion that they made a good snack.

I love it whenever any of the cookies we sell expire. That staleness works amazingly well if you crush them and pour milk over them. Cookie Crisps can suck it. Pyf stale poo poo you ate

If I'm not using a loaf of bread fast enough, I'll toss it in the freezer. I'll usually put the slices frozen on my cast iron flat pan right away when I turn the stove on, and when they're toasted on one side, I know it's good and hot. Then I can flip them for a few seconds, and set them aside until whatever meat I'm cooking is done. Pork Chop Sandwiches!

Or I lived alone and hated going to the store every week. I also like to have a variety of breads going around so I just refrigerated it to keep it good. edit: I also bake and because I want to not spend a great deal of time baking I make things in larger batches. It's a bachelor thing; I want delicious hand-made bread but I don't want to expend more effort than necessary so I bake two to four loaves all at once. I can't always eat that before it molds so I just wrap it up and cram in it in the fridge. ToxicSlurpee has a new favorite as of 16:56 on May 29, 2014 |

There's nothing like a rainy summer night with beer and a cigar. There's something about rain that makes drinking all the more satisfying. All this bread talk also gives me French toast lust.

My George foreman grill died. I shall be drinking Pimms and eating sausage sandwiches to mourn its passing. Then I'll probably forget we ever had one and just griddle everything.

cname posted:Nooooo! You spin it around and fold the spin inside-out and over the top. No bread tag or wire tie needed and it stays perfectly sealed. That wont protect it from mold. The moisture in the bread and temp it is stored are what cause it. In a warm environment it causes the bread to "sweat" more speeding up the mold growth. In a refrigerator you keep the bread cool keeping the moisture in place. Bread boxes work on this principle too, cool dry place. This is the concept for all food you put in a fridge. Dry food doesnt need to be but anything with moisture should be.

The problem, then, is that bread from the fridge has a horrible, dry, texture. Don't get me wrong, I've had to do it because I've never lived in a place with central air, and summer is hot and humid, but i still don't like it. Most of the year, I can get away with not doing it. Only for, like, July and August is it typically necessary. And despite being contradictory in terms, I'm headed to a sweet "bachelor" wedding this weekend. Low-key affair in the park. Casual attire, lots of BBQ and beer, and plenty of "lawn games" like bags/cornhole, ladder-ball, frisbee, etc... All weddings should be that simple.

When we moved to Virginia from Pennsylvania, we knew intellectually that we were now in The South, but it didn't really hit us viscerally until someone said "Hey, y'all wanna get some cornhole goin'?" and 1) even Grandma was excited about this, and 2) nobody dropped trou.

I've only been a bridesmaid once, and it was my best friend's wedding. She told me that I could wear whatever I want; if I wanted to come in a scuba suit, that was cool. Of course later her Type A personality kicked in and things were micromanaged a tad, but it was a simple, short, outdoor wedding at the church/cemetery where her dad is buried with only close friends and family. All she asked of the bridesmaids? Wear some shade of green. That was it. It was pretty fuckin' low key and I'm very grateful for that. Unfortunately, the church didn't allow alcohol near the premises so we had to wait a whole couple hours after the event to get drunk. Basically, gently caress big weddings. Have a party and get loving trashed with those you care about.

I just got back from the liquor store and had to put the top down on my car to fit everything in it. I don't really have a trunk to speak of but it was still a lot of beer. A 30, a case, three 12 packs, and two six packs if anyone is counting. This wasn't for any kind of special occasion.

The recipe I'm cooking calls for a slotted spoon. I don't have a slotted spoon. I do, however, have a drill, a file, and some knackered drill bits that needed using up. Result: slotted spoon.  In the interests of safety, I'd like to reassure all concerned parties that safety

I got the news today that I was selected to get my dream nursing job, in the field I wanted, and a 12-minute drive from my house. All that stands between me and a real salary is the NCLEX (board exam). But I will pass first time, no doubt. This is the best day. It still seems like a dream. In a couple months I will be living it the gently caress up, buying all the stupid poo poo I want! I'm terrible with my money. Single, no kids, gently caress it!
