Random Rants #88: [incoherent screaming]

[Birdjaguar]

Do free-range eggs taste differently to an appreciable extent? I've considered trying them, but they are over twice the price of normal eggs here.

Or is it just an ethics deal?

I mostly see a yolk color change in free range rather than flavor. As a side note, unwashed eggs can be kept out of the fridge for a long time. They are protected from bacteria by an oily coating. Once washed though, into the fridge they must go. Broody hens (those who will sit on a clutch of eggs and hatch them) will lay eggs over 1 to 2 weeks before they settle down to hatch them 21 days later. That barrier protects the eggs while the hen lays enough to make it worthwhile to sit for 21 days.

I got free range eggs yesterday that last till the 10th, so just about two weeks. Plenty of time to down them all. I had a curry omelette with sautéed shiitske shrooms for lunch snd it was great.

Ah, so I'm not alone in putting curry into omelette or scrambled eggs. My brother keeps saying it's weird, but when I need to whip up something really quick, scurry scrambled eggs with onion are my favorite.

What they eat changes the flavor of the egg, some. I dont' find it terribly noticeable. Maybe if you ate them raw instead of cooked. Which I wouldn't. The anal-retention in the process that is required to keep you safe from salmonella eating a raw egg increases the price a lot.

It's 1000% worth it if it means you can safely eat cookie dough.

The US is currently busy exporting salmonella to Canada so I'll take you at your word.

Get'chu bouge on...

Spoiler 13:20 I guess :

For everyone else, the cookie dough is worth the risk!

<shrugs> They pee, poo, and lay out of the same place. I'm surprised it happens as infrequently as it does.

Tbh I've never let the consideration of salmonella stop me from eating cookie dough, regardless of the egg used...

Had some yesterday, actually. Still alive.

Into quarantine you go!

Ah, I didn't mean the eggs. I don't know if America exports eggs here. I doubt it. Seems unnecessary.

We've had two recalls this summer for US peaches and onions, salmonella.

Organic fertilizer and runoff.

 

[shadowplay]

I thought the reason you aren't supposed to eat raw cookie dough is the flour rather than the egg...

Rant: Some of the neighbours in my buildings are jerks I got the front door slammed on me and it hit me in the back and now it hurts.

Go back to the shadow from whence you came!

The drugstore is out of caffeine-free Coke Zero. Thus, I am out of caffeine-free Coke Zero.

Caffeine is also a hard word for me to spell. I wrote it above twice and got it wrong twice.

I don’t have more than two cups of it (250ml cups) per day, but I don’t want to be buzzing at night with the regular stuff.

Lovely can of fizzy cold. Wish I could drink fluids in more reasonable quantities without effort. Stopped drinking pop for the most part. Back under a pot of coffee a day. Finishing up my month long hiatus on alcohol tonight. Didn't hate it as much as I thought I would. NA beer a couple times mostly scratched the itch. No additionals since the rec scene in IL is a flaming pooshow of data collection they're waiting to tie into foids. That is 4x too expensive and tends to have long inside lines from what I gather. So yay... clean...

Now I should get off my fat butt and exercise a little. That one takes time tho...

Cans are prohibitively expensive here and the drugstore only sells the caffeine-free version in 1,500ml (50 oz.) bottles. I don't think I could take a can in a single setting.

Ever consider a SodaStream?

I've had a few friends stumble upon making their own carbonated sodas, get really excited about it, do a month of research, and then never end up doing it.

 

[Kyriakos]

Well, I am to receive the first part of the peanuts paid to book creators (writers, translators etc).
Which first part is certainly not substantial.
Let's see if the second part is any better - though, tbh, if it is roughly the same, it would be what I was expecting overall).

I've had a few friends stumble upon making their own carbonated sodas, get really excited about it, do a month of research, and then never end up doing it.

I've found that I have limited bandwidth for DIY stuff like this, even though I would be all about making my own stuff (soda, healthy snacks, etc). I spend a lot of time and energy doing things that absolutely have to be done and taking care of people who can't take care of themselves. After all that's done, I find that I would rather just have the soda or snack or whatever then have to even spend the minimum effort to first make it, then enjoy it (then clean it, plus there's the mental effort of researching and purchasing flavors etc). My buckets are pretty much depleted every day that I have to really care about something or really enjoy the process of doing something in order to expend more than the minimum effort to get there (if that thing is "extra" and not necessary).

I don't think they have the sugarfree, non-caffeinated types here. That and kitchen space is already at a premium; my kitchen combines the comfort of an airplane bathroom with the convenience of... an airplane bathroom.
