What Kind of Food Storage Containers Do You Like?
Comments (44)Mtnfever, I just checked my flour containers. I buy flour in 5# quantities as my containers won't hold 10 lbs. I can't lift 10# easily. I do buy the small bags of Bob's Red Mill specialty flours and keep those in plastic bags in the freezer. Cambro rounds-6 liters, 6 qt., use for no-knead bread dough, not flour. Easier to mix in rounds. Cheap at webstaurantstore.com. (Also parchment paper 100 sheets under 5 bucks.) When I put 5 lbs. flour in these following containers, there is enough headroom left on top, so I can put in 1/2 and 1 cup measures and comfortably scoop flour. These containers have lock n' lock lids. Sterilite, -3.8 liters, 16.2 cups Sterilite, 16c, 3.8 liters, 4 qt Rubbermaid, 15 c, 3.5 liters, taller than others I know you were hoping that Cambro would hold 10 lbs. The 8 qt. Cambro would very likely hold 10-lbs, based on my 5# containers....See MoreHave you tried JJ Virgin's food eliminations (or others)?
Comments (11)For the average person though, one who feels fine eating everything, exactly what am I going to be feeling if I give up these foods? If you feel fine, why bother? In other words, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. But I would say it's worth trying for anyone who doesn't feel as well as they would like to. Another thought, Ellen . . . I don't know how old you are, but many people seem to do just fine eating whatever, but then at some point don't tolerate certain foods as well as they used to. Their digestion gets quirky, they lack energy, and so on. My severe allergy to solanine (in all the nightshade vegetables and a few other things) didn't start until I was in my thirties, and has gotten progressively worse. Momrox, I have a tendency toward high cholesterol too, but have kept it in check by being very careful about saturated fats, plus eating oat bran. I've eaten oat bran (raw or cooked) every day for years. I just had my cholesterol checked, and it was 168. That's good for me. Now I have to do better with triglycerides, which are inching up. They're just borderline, though--nothing like the dangerously high numbers I had years ago, before I gave up sugar and lowered my carb intake. When I was stricter about carbs than I am now, my numbers were excellent. I'm sorry about your husband. I'm a widow too, and have to guard against mindless eating. It slips in.... I just came across this website with info on JJ Virgin's approach. I'm sure there are loads of other resources too....See MoreHow can you get tile if the local distributor keeps putting you off?
Comments (10)I had this attitude too from a hot tub store! Jacuzzi was soo accomodating. So when shopping I thought they were all like that. Asked one place about a ' wet test' (which Jacuzzi offered to buy us bathing suits as we were far from home, and offered to switch the hot water to any tub we wanted). The other place said no to the wet test. And the 1 hot tub that had water in it would have been like (to quote the salesman) "test driving an escalade when buying a fiesta" Needless to say, we bought from Jacuzzi. Which isn't cheap, but we got a great deal (bought a red tag special display model...they actually sold it on us and ordered us a new one...in our prefered colour). When that other company called to follow up, my dh told him we bought the Jacuzzi. Which they weren't expecting. As you know...we were only buying the Fiesta. Lol. Lots of stores will welcome you with open arms and be glad for your business. Hopefully you never have to go there again!...See MoreDo you eat other people's food?
Comments (58)Looks like various untoward cooking habits tend to drive some people a bit squirrelly? A number of the potlucks that I've attended were family or church-related ... and a number of the people at our smallish church know one another's cooking habits quite well. Don't recall having had any tummy problems in quite a long time. Including my first use of a gifted crockpot last week ... that ran for a few hours, daily, and took forever to cook the smell (so help me, that was supposed to have been "small"!)bits of carrot, potato, chicken and onion ... for almost a week. But I grew up on a farm during World War II, when the hired hands on Dad's large (for those days) farm had gone to war, and we had lots of farm chores to not only keep us busy ... but develop our immune systems, as well. Including pig/cow/horse/chicken manure on hands, clothing, occasionally on face, etc. The dog thought it a real treat to be allowed into the house on a rare occasion, though. Cats/dogs didn't get to lick our dishes ... but, now that I live alone, I've been known to lick out the bowl following breakfast ... to put it in good order for soup, come supper-time. Now that my hairs are fewer ... and shorter ... they get harder to find should they happen to have fallen into some of my food. And ... as someone suggested, quoting someone less fastidious, "... it hasn't killed me, yet". Tomorrow's another day, though. I suspect that I ate some dog in Korea over 50 years ago, though, as I thought that some meat in the soup/stew where I was a guest was a bit different ... and saw an empty dog-hide being carried across the yard, later that day. ole joyfuelled...See MoreElmer J Fudd
