Eating an orange! How do you eat yours?
Comments (24)I can just peel and eat a mandarin. But navel oranges I slice. I like to cut the orange in half top to bottom, then slice the half into 3-4 slices. So I've got half circle slices 1/3 inch or so thick. That way when I "stretch" the slice to the rind is straight, the little trianglar sections just pop out. That's how I like an orange. I slice one, put it back together in a ball, then in a baggie for lunches (mine and the kids). My 7 y/o loves oranges and is eating 2 a day lately. We bought some very good navels a few days ago. I love citrus season! Loved it when we lived in Floria, too. The trees look so pretty with all those bright orange balls on them, like the whole orchard is decorated for Christmas. ;o)...See MoreMiz M or anyone who sells on CL frequently, how do you
Comments (34)Spammers send out hundreds of messages a day asking "do you still have the item"? Those who answer get the follow up email where the scammers want to buy it sight unseen and will send a (fake) cashier's check that is over the sale amount so that you can send the extra money to their "courier" who will come and pick up the item. The idea is that you will cash the fake check, write a real check to the courier from your account, and wait for the "courier" to come pick up the item. By the time the bank clearinghouse rejects the original fake check, you are out the money you sent the courier. (And if they are local, the courier may come pick up the money and the item -- then you are out both things -- but most are based in foreign countries so the courier never comes.) Anyhow, if you want to ask if something is still available, be sure to mention what it is. "Hi, I was wondering if this piano was still available - if so, I would like to come see it. What works for you?" is clearly tailored to your specific ad while "Do you still have this item?" is a generic response sent to hundreds of people at once....See MoreHow Often Do You Eat Out?
Comments (32)meant to add that we both love to cook, i especially enjoy it when i can take my time. as mentioned already for us it's a special meal when we do cook together, we usually try to on fridays and sundays. during the week thou we often have other things going on in the evening so we don't have time. my dad has eaten 3 meals a day out for 17 yrs now. once my mom got cancer, they mostly went out to eat and then when she died, ten yrs ago, he had no clue in the kitchen. onetime right after her death, he called me because he could not figure out what went wrong w/ his fav soup, campbells clam chowder :-/ he used water and not milk :-( he also called me about some yellow gooo in the dishwasher LOL i was thinking along the lines of sealant or something technical but it was the soap LOL. the housekeeper partially loaded it and put soap in so he could add his coffee cups and run it. he has had the stove disconnected from the gas line for 10 yrs and bought a little wine fridge (got rid of the reg fridge) to hold the milk for his daily coffee. coffee is the only thing made at his house LOL. he only eats at non-chain restaurants, he has his set ones and they all treat him like a king LOL. shockingly he's not in the least bit overweight, infact he's a bit on the too skinny side and is 70 yrs old. he's looking for a new house to move to and amoug the requirements for the next house is that he needs to be able to walk to plenty of restaurants when he gets "old" lol ~ liz...See MoreWhat is your favorite out of the norm eating utensil?
Comments (64)those sporks are interesting implements of self torture... Proper name for a "spork" is a runciple spoon. The word always makes me think of the poem The Owl and the Pussy Cat. Yeah, trust a literature teacher to know some odd piece of trivia. My girls always liked those little cocktail forks for eating things like shrimp cocktail, although Ashley would even use them for mac and cheese. My Emily loves to eat anything with a tiny fork. I always put a package of tiny cocktail forks in her Christmas stocking. She saves them for when she's eating "cute food". And I have 2 "youth sets"..like 3/4 sided adult settings and the knives are good for serving cracker spreads...bigger than a butter knife but smaller than a table knife. Yep, I have those ... and I use them for the same purpose. Things I like: - I am country hick and can't eat with chopsticks. Furthermore, I don't even have the good grace to be abashed about it. - I do have an affinity for my bouillon soup spoons; they're so round and friendly-looking. And soup is a friendly food. - I have asparagus "rafts" (real name?), which are for stabbing asparagus before grilling it. My husband's big-time into his Big Green Egg Grill, so we have many implements for grilling. Separate topic ... I have a tall, thin pot with a lift-out interior pot, which is for steaming asparagus. - I have more serving spoons than any one person should own. Perhaps 35-ish? Not fancy things, just serving spoons, slotted spoons, pie servers, meat forks ... but I never run out when I host a pot luck. - I have pretty cheese servers with "jeweled" handles. - When I was a kid, I loved those little wooden spoons that came with ice cream, but I haven't seen them in forever....See MoreFran
