i am eating C&K Private Reserve Teriyaki Beef Jerky. Made in Brazil and distributed from Brookings, Oregon.(that's quite a ride to my house.) A present from my mother-in-law for father's day. two pounds! i'm working on it! (it's the real deal kinda beef jerky. not that convenience store kinda stuff.) i think i've had my quota for the day though.

Oh man that sounds good.

I'm not eating right now but about 2 minutes and uh 37 seconds ago I was eating a salad of greens, red peppers, red onions, cashews, leftover chicken, with a dressing of soy sauce + red wine vinegar + sesame oil + orange juice/zest.

I mean, seriously, that could last Hurley clear through season 7.

― the doaple gonger (nickalicious), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 16:56 (nineteen years ago)

It is a lot of jerky. And i've had help with it! Still a lot left. I'm even keeping it in the fridge so it doesn't get too dried out. i have no idea if this is the thing to do.

sub-topic: what do you keep in the fridge? i keep all natural peanut butter in the fridge, but not the un-natural kind. and you?

― scott seward (scott seward), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 17:02 (nineteen years ago)

maria's step-mom keeps olive oil in her refrigerator???? i made fun of her. which was mean. but it gets all gunky and stuff. it can't be good for olive oil to be that cold. she has to let it sit for ages just to use it. and yet she never refrigerates beer, so i always have to throw some in the fridge and wait for it to cool. what am i british? and, yes, i immediately start drinking her beer when i get to her house.

― scott seward (scott seward), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 17:04 (nineteen years ago)

i just ate chicken curry leftovers + a mango.

there's apple pie flavoured ice cream??

― rrrobyn sharkattack battleforcenet (rrrobyn), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 17:06 (nineteen years ago)

Coffeemilk with a little Sambuca. I just had stir-fried "Chinese-style sausage" with rapini and cubanelle peppers for lunch.

There is Apple Pie flavour ice cream at Tesco. It's okay, not spectacular. The little cinnamon-y biscuit bits are probably the best part.

― Annie Get Your Gin (noodle vague), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 17:08 (nineteen years ago)

Doesn't Peanut Butter get too hard to spread if it's been in the fridge? I keep mayo in there but not ketchup. There's a couple of open jars of French steak sauce. Most of the fruit's in the fridge except bananas.

― Annie Get Your Gin (noodle vague), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 17:11 (nineteen years ago)

a turkey sandwich. is good.

Supposedly peanut butter develops the deadly AFLATOXIN if left at room temp for too long.

Blimey. I should be dead a long time ago then.

― Annie Get Your Gin (noodle vague), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 17:17 (nineteen years ago)

I never refrigerate:

Tomatoes (I would sooner keep them in the toilet or a neighbor's ass)
Lemons, limes
Potatoes, onions, garlic
Ketchup (there's nothing wrong with doing so, but my ex grew up in Germany with room-temp ketchup, so I got in the habit)
Most honeys and other syrups
Pickled and fat-preserved things even though they don't have to be. Habit and easy way to know where they are.

I only sometimes refrigerate:
Eggs (there was a big ILE hooha over this once; if you think eggs absolutely positively must be refrigerated, it's because you're used to shitty eggs or go through them slowly)

― Tep (ktepi), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 17:19 (nineteen years ago)

Whoops, "pickled and fat-preserved things" was meant to be under an apparently apocryphal "things I DO refrigerate" heading.

― Tep (ktepi), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 17:21 (nineteen years ago)

i always keep ketchup in the fridge. maybe i shouldn't bother. junky peanut butter (the kind i like) doesn't need to be refrigerated, but i think the all-natural kind (the kind maria buys to be healthy or whatever even though she always ends up eating my junky kind and then i run out of the yummy kind and end up with two barely touched jars of that sandy non-sugary kind that is penance for hippies) gets dried up and loses that oh so tempting layer of oil on the top if kept out. plus, i think it actually says on the jar that you should refrigerate it.

― scott seward (scott seward), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 17:21 (nineteen years ago)

I thought that fresh farm eggs that have never been refrigerated can be left out, but once you put them in the fridge they should stay there.

― Beth Parker (Beth Parker), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 17:27 (nineteen years ago)

one thing i learned was that the chiquita banana song is a farce and a scam and bananas will last forever perfectly fine in the fridge even when the skin is black. i never knew that! having said that, we go thru bananas really quickly and don't keep them in the fridge.

― scott seward (scott seward), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 17:27 (nineteen years ago)

What about butter? Half my relatives keep it on the counter all day, the other half refrigerate it like it's a salmonella risk. Oh, and one uncle keeps it in a drawer.

― Stephen X (Stephen X), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 17:29 (nineteen years ago)

old song that was a dirty lie:

"I'm Chiquita banana and I've come to say - Bananas have to ripen in a certain way- When they are fleck'd with brown and have a golden hue - Bananas taste the best and are best for you - You can put them in a salad - You can put them in a pie-aye - Any way you want to eat them - It's impossible to beat them - But, bananas like the climate of the very, very tropical equator - So you should never put bananas in the refrigerator."

dirty slander removed for current version:

"I'm Chiquita Banana and I've come to say - I offer good nutrition in a simple way - When you eat a Chiquita you've done your part - To give every single day a healthy start - Underneath the crescent yellow - You'll find vitamins and great taste - With no fat, you just can't beat 'em - You'll feel better when you eat 'em - They're a gift from Mother Nature and a natural additional to your table - For wholesome, healthy, pure bananas - look for Chiquita's label!"

"Oh, and one uncle keeps it in a drawer."

you'd better watch this guy.

butter in a butter dish that is covered seems fine to me as long as it hasn't been out for months. we usually keep one stick out and the rest in the fridge. we buy a lot of butter!

― scott seward (scott seward), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 17:32 (nineteen years ago)

I thought that fresh farm eggs that have never been refrigerated can be left out, but once you put them in the fridge they should stay there.

Possibly. I've moved them from out to in but can't think of when or why I'd've gone the other way. Usually -- now that I'm here (my mother has chickens), or when I was getting eggs from the farmer's market -- whether I refrigerate them is a matter of whether I have room in an accessible part of the shelf.

― Tep (ktepi), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 17:33 (nineteen years ago)

We keep butter in the fridge cos it's mostly for cooking and it goes too sloppy if you don't refrigerate it. I've wanted a proper butter cooler for years tho.

I like bananas when there's still a tinge of green on the skin.

― Annie Get Your Gin (noodle vague), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 17:33 (nineteen years ago)

Fat free vanilla yogurt with blueberries.

I used to date a guy who kept butter in the cupboard. Is this normal anywhere?

xpost - AH! My butter question answered. Thanks!

Some egg trivia: Eggs are born with a coating around them that keeps bacteria out. US laws require that eggs be washed before sale, removing the outer coating and necessitating refrigeration. But if you buy eggs right from farmers/pull them out from under your own chickens, refrigeration is unnecessary. Also US supermarket eggs are already old as hell when you get them. The end.

i love maria's step-mom to death, but she kinda is one of those people..."well, lets see what we have here for you, hmmm, some clamato juice, some clam juice, some old melba toast, some no-fat cottage cheese, would you like a pear? they aren't really ripe yet." she lives by herself and she likes what she likes. i don't complain. she's a lovely woman. even though i think she's insane for refrigerating her olive oil. but she's a good cook! nobody does a roast chicken like her. her chicken has some serious jewish grandma mojo working in it.

― scott seward (scott seward), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 17:38 (nineteen years ago)

― daniel striped tiger (OutDatWay), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 17:40 (nineteen years ago)

Refrigerating olive oil is like refrigerating salt, yeah -- but at least it doesn't do any damage, other than making it difficult to pour and whatnot.

My fridge right now is a total mosaic of works in progress, leftovers, and "stuff my mother's garden had too much of."

's basically a fancy butter dish, I think some of them have a lid that you can fill with cold water so it stays below room temp but above fridge temp.

― scott seward (scott seward), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 17:52 (nineteen years ago)

I refridgerate olive oil because I don't use it fast enough, and it will get bad over many months. I put it in a wide-mouthed jar, so that it is easy to use partly solid. It spreads like soft butter so when I make garlic bread, it's more convenient than if it were liquid.

Just had a peach and a couple handfuls of Trader Joe's Sweet, Savory, and Tart trail mix - peanuts, cashews, almonds, dried cranberries, chocolate chips, peanut butter chips. My current favorite snack.

― nickn (nickn), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 18:06 (nineteen years ago)

yeah, okay, maybe it isn't insane to refrigerate olive oil. maybe you should just buy smaller jars. i would think you would lose some of the flavor by chilling and un-chilling all the time.but i have no way to know if this is true! i'm talking thru my hat! i think its the sight of dreamy golden olive oil all gunked up from the cold that bugs me. its nectar from the gods and should be treated like royalty!

an apple. i dont normally, like, eat fruit.

― david allen grier (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 18:51 (nineteen years ago)

I do buy smallish bottles of olive oil, but they still lasy a long time. I don't think the flavor is changed at all by chilling, and it's a chill once, thaw once operation because of the wide-mouth jar. I can take out what I need and put the rest back immediately. The convenience of having it semi-solid and spreadable is such that I would probably do some of my oil this way even if I used it up quickly. Also my house has been getting into the 90s during the day lately, so I should probably put everything in cold storage.

I had a dried fig after my initial post, just to keep it on topic.

― nickn (nickn), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 19:07 (nineteen years ago)

Refrigerating olive oil for texture makes sense -- likewise if you haven't got air conditioning.

I'm drinking the first glass of my lemon shandy, which -- in this case, ignoring other values of "shandy" -- is a lightly fermented lemonade. It's good. Very mild -- I was expecting it to be more more-ish. It would probably be best on ice with bourbon.

I am currently eating an open-faced peanut butter & jelly sandwich on whole wheat bread, with a large glass of ice water to wash it all down with. The jelly is my favorite, the wonderful raspberry preserves.

― Phoenix Dancing (krushsister), Friday, 28 July 2006 22:32 (nineteen years ago)

Cheap-ass peppered ham sandwich on cheap-ass wheat bread, and a bag of Sunchips. And a Jazz Diet Pepsi Black Cherry French Vanilla. Seriously, that's what it's called.

And I had just now a lambburger with Heinz 57; wanted to test out a hand-me-down "multipurpose grinder" that I think is one of those things that excels at nothing but mediocrizes at several things. It took me fifteen minutes to grind enough lamb for one small burger. Still, it's good to have for times when nothing but a meat grinder will get me from A to B.

― Tep (ktepi), Friday, 28 July 2006 22:57 (nineteen years ago)

Food processor and short pulses wouldn't work?

This Jazz stuff is not bad. There are so many flavors going on that they mask the aspartame.

― Whitman Mayonnaise (Rock Hardy), Friday, 28 July 2006 23:00 (nineteen years ago)

I burned out a Cuisinart mini-prep grinding ground beef once, so I've been paranoid about it ever since. Right now what I have is a stick blender -- which I love for many things but can't grind meat -- and the full-size Cuisinart, another hand-me-down that I haven't quite figured out yet.

Diet sodas seem to be getting a lot better -- I still love Coke Zero, and the new Fantas aren't bad either.

gawd i had the worst tuna salad today. it was mayoless -- which would have been fine if the restaurant had actually given the tuna some flavor and not just slopped it out of the can and onto a bed of lettuce. also there were capers, and i usually like those, but these tasted not so much pickled as fermented, like eating juniper berries at a gin factory. and they put the raw onion on the plate in rings, rather than dicing it and incorporating it into the tuna salad. raw onion rings are magic on sandwiches and burgers, but in salads where things should be bite-size -- not so much.

i get really pissed off when i eat a bad meal. that's time and money i'm never getting back, not to mention that i probably could have spent equal or less money and gotten outstanding food somewhere else. when i have a bad meal, it ruins my day. DUDES IF YOU CAN'T PREPARE EDIBLE FOOD WHY DO YOU RUN A RESTAURANT. THERE ARE LESS OFFENSIVE WAYS TO RUN A MONEY-LAUNDERING OPERATION.

i had such a good food weekend!!

today: greasy knish and samosa for breakfast for hangover-destroyering action; salmon burger with slices of cucumber and red pepper; homemade birthday carrot cake made by superultramega-w0man - with cream cheese icing even! and a star laid out in the middle with little silver balls and a universe of walnut bits around it!

yesterday: dinner party that started with korean appetizers - kim cheese, spicy sprouts, marinated cucumbers - and moved on to dinner of pork tenderloin with soy-ish sauce, buckwheat noodle salad, endives with tofu-etc filling, and grilled tofu + sweet/sour sauce; mango lassi (with vodka! i made a huge blender full of this) and apple pie for dessert. lots of booze throughout + after.

I've eaten mostly leftovers this weekend - meatloaf and lasagna. Both were yummy. My wife cooked a big lasagna and then decided to go on a low-carb diet, so now there is a freezer full of lasagna with my name on it!

this thread is great BECAUSE of gourmetness+chips&doughnuts.

You make great sense, rrrobyn. Thanks. And mmmm @ "tempura-ed slices of shitake mushroom". That seriously sounds like the most awesome food ever. Now I want to go to a Japanese restaurant and order that and sushi, since I ALWAYS crave sushi.

Scott, how did you fix the chicken salad? I find you can fancify chicken salad up if you mix grapes and walnuts into the salad, an idea I admittedly stole from the Arby's people but that actually works really well on a homemade level. Well, "homemade", since half the time I'm making chicken salad I'm getting the chicken off the non-breast-y, non-thigh & leg-y part of a store-bought rotisserie chicken, but it is home-prepared and I do bother to chop the walnuts, grapes, and celery (default item in chicken OR tuna salad IMO) at home.

Now sipping: Diet Coke. Just for the taste of it.

"I find you can fancify chicken salad up if you mix grapes and walnuts"

isn't that like a chicken waldorf. maybe not. chicken waldorf salad has raisins and apples in it, i think.

i actually bought mine. i do have a killer chicken salad recipe though. actually, it's not a recipe. and it's very similar to my potato salad recipe. which is also not a recipe. more of a trial and error kind of thing. basically, i use white pepper/salt/mayo/onion/celery/garlic/mustard/hot sauce. you don't need the garlic, really. and just a little mustard and hot sauce for that kick. i just add stuff until i think its done. people really dig my potato salad. (and if its chicken salad, i roast some boneless chicken up in a pan with olive oil and some garlic and some herbs.) very yummy. for mustard, dijon will do. something spicy and dark is good.

first google result sez "apples, lemon juice, raisins, celery, walnuts, mayonnaise, and sugar." i don't think fruit and mayonnaise belong together, but i could see another binding agent being very good.

The shame: a "Big Tasty," which seems like McDonald's version of a Whopper. Do they have these in other countries?
