Re: Post stupid questions here
I've seen mention of folk bringing shelf-stable pre-cooked bacon.
Can that be eaten right out of the package?
I've never had it but I'm thinking it might be nasty if not heated (congealed fat?).
I did look on the package and noted it needed to be refrigerated after opening and shouldn't be stored in temps >75f so it needs to be coolered.
I usually stay away from over-processed stuff but it wouldn't be BM without bacon. I won't even think about dealing with bacon grease and the stuff I pre-cooked, coolered for a week and ate straight out of the cooler last year left something to be desired. I did a batch of candied bacon on a test run and it was okay but not quite the same.

“Silkworm Pupae
Literally meaning pupa or chrysalis, beondegi are popular Korean street snacks, often dished out by the cupful to eager passers-by. The stewed and seasoned silkworm treats come highly recommended as bar bites. Next time you crave a quick mouthful on the go, grab a can of these crunchy chrysalises.”
Someone gifted me a can of these Burning Man 05......Tasted like toasted rice. I actually got about 40 people to try em.

magnets work by blocking the particles that push everything, every direction, at the same time. They align and create a "vacuum" between the object and the magnet.Isotopia wrote:Q: Why is up 'up?' And why is down 'down?'

no, wait, that's gravity.........

Costco carries these in the spring. I bought mine years ago at a Home Depot.

and question #2. You know that green carpet stuff that looks like astro turf that RVer's usually have as a "patio", of you will, under their awning area. What's it really called and where do you get it? Home Depot? Lowes?

We picked up a couple of those turfy rugs at Costco in spring, bound edges, made of recycled pop bottles and incredibly SOFT!

You must all be psychics then! How did you know I did a 45min orienteering challenge, then sped walk the equivalent of 20 city blocks to find a bathroom for a 6 year old that practically had an anxiety attack at the suggestion of peeing in the bush? I think I can only brag about the fact she DID NOT pee her pants, phew!gyre wrote:We all know how you got them.Fufa wrote:Why do I get shin splints?
