Porpoise noise continues.
Yeah, I freeze at least a third of everything I make. I also do this weird thing with my parents where we swap a frozen leftover for a different frozen leftover. People tell me that's weird, but we always did it when I was a kid. Maybe it's a hippie thing, I dunno, but a Tupperware thing of chili swapped for my dad's duck confit is a drat good trade.

Until we get a utility shed set up with a chest freezer and constant electric to the fridge (either a rechargable battery bank or gas fridge) we only buy perishable stuff in small amounts. We do a lot of dry/canned stuff. We got lucky because the landlord is happy to sell us beefalo and we live within a few minutes of a ton of produce farms.

I feel ya on the small amounts of food thing.

Nah. I waste more money buying ingredients for the future and then not eating it.

I have been trying to convince my SO of this for years and it is only just now starting to work. I get so pumped to open the fridge to find it empty but for condiments.

As for AFP, we when to this little cafe today for breakfast that advertises a "crabcake stuffed burger". Which is what it sounds like, a (I hope cooked) crabcake somehow encased in a burger, then cooked. We spent a little while in the car trying to brainstorm ways that it could somehow not be a disgusting mess and came up empty.

I am going to go back and try this burger, but I don't have a lot of hope.

we would benefit from a larger freezer compared to the fridge bc my brother gets so much free (expensive) meats from his work that we don't have time to eat them all, so the freezer is full of MEAT and vegetables and frozen pizzas, and the fridge is just a dairy, fruit and condiment hold

To get the most out of a chest freezer you need a good vac-sealer. You are not going to get great shelf life just bagging or wrapping stuff. Ours died this fall and just looking at the garden stuff that we sealed vs just tossed in a bag shows a huge difference. The bagged stuff is full of frost and it soggy as hell when we thaw it and the vac-ed stuff is still pretty crisp.

Hah, I have tried the "submerge the bag in water right up to the sealing part" trick but I am not gonna suck the air out of 30 bags of peppers. RIP little vac-sealer, I guess your duty-cycle rating was not just a suggestion.

The other thing is to always buy a chest style freezer, not an upright one. Years ago on some hunting forum I used to read a dude did this huge huge effort post where he took some remote thermometers and checked to see the relative temp change that resulted from opening the doors on both styles. He did it as he noticed that all his elk and such was getting freezer burned at different rates that didn't jive with the time in storage. The upright was bleeding cold to the tune of a few degrees per second while the chest too like 30-45 seconds to even register a change. I wish I could remember the site, it was insane, the dude had some kind of science background and some fancy pants thermeroter that let him put multiple probes in various parts of the two freezers to make sure he was getting good data.

doctors cost more money than food

it gets worse with water/sweat and also dryness, I can't do much about it. I would probably be prescribed a steroid cream for my hands which also thins the skin and usually treats itchiness, which is the least of my problems. but it's not contagious and there isn't stuff falling off my hands. I limit my exposure to water and moisturize throughout the day. it could be a lot worse if I didn't bother to use lotion or gloves. taking a shower and washing my face are the only times I get my hands wet on purpose and that's the main thing that still irritates them.

the thing that would help me the most is wearing gloves with thick lotion overnight but I haven't found gloves that fit me yet, so I need to just make some.

edit: water is my irritant and it's kinda hard to avoid it completely. when I wore watertight gloves to shower and wash my face it went away almost completely but I got tired of having the gloves leak and having to go through so many. it only started after we moved out of my parents' a year and a half ago, away from cigarette smoke and other normal irritants... so idk. a doctor would be great!

people usually wear cotton gloves for overnight moisturization but the pair my husband got me was meant for rly slender hands so they're uncomfortable. I was going to just cut and sew some myself so they'll actually fit :v:

I go through a pair of rubber gloves once every 6 weeks or so for dishwashing and other things.

You should mention that this requires medication an hour beforehand to be effective, as opposed to just "go outside in daylight or get a blacklight"

That said, it's hundreds of dollars for an unknown quantity of Psoralen and that's not counting the UV source so who knows

Handy Andy work gloves come in packs of twelve for under $20, are loose-fitting, durable, and soft. They should keep the lotion inside at night and last quite a while per pair, and you can probably even wash them if you're using them for just lotion (back on the farm they're a general use work glove so they tend to get dirty and then develop holes)
