Re: Random randomness
Whole cuts of pork and beef are pretty low on the list for things that will make you sick. Freezing it? Quality drops but you likely destroyed any incidental pathogens on the surface that might have been introduced during packaging.

Since 2am, 5 hours ago, most of the internet and my wife's Xbox aren't working. More than half the sites I go to wont load, the rest either work a little slower or pages only half load. Like some places I get text but the images and videos are errored. Even my own ISPs speed test wont work and I cant update stuff from MS either.

Its been normal now for about 1 1/2 hours. Finally got YouTube to lead around 7am and we watched 70s / 80s Christmas commercials. Old memories. Still LOVE the Coca Cola one where they sing.

Re: Random randomness
Yeah, noticed that a lot of things were down last night. I suspect something to do with DNS servers. What's interesting is that it wasn't throwing up the regular error messages, but rather just complete blank pages.Daehawk wrote: ↑Wed Nov 07, 2018 8:21 am Since 2am, 5 hours ago, most of the internet and my wife's Xbox aren't working.

Possibly Thermosphacta bacteria - spoilage, not human pathogen bacteria. Deli meat is infamous for having that "slime" coat. Ham surprises me as usually the salt inhibits slime. Was it a low-salt or smoke cured ham?
The good news regardless, is that the non-pathogenic slime bacteria out-compete the pathogens, so in theory it's...safer?

Re: Random randomness
Noticed my right blinker blinks twice as fast as my left. Thats a sign of a bad bulb. Sure enough it is but its a weird one. My Mustang has 3 bulbs per light in back. All 3 have 2 filaments. For normal on the top one glows. For a turn the 2nd filament blinks and it uses the 2 outside bulbs. Brakes seems to also light up the 2nd filament. Ok .....
Lights on all work.
Right blinker only the 3rd bulb blinks.
Brakes only the outside bulb glows the 2nd filament.
So time to find what bulb I need and buy a couple then figure out how to actually get to it. I cant do it right now so letting it go for a month...or longer if I can get away with it. As it sorta works I wont snag a ticket...unless it changes and I dont take notice.

So what you're saying is slime is good?
I'm used to it on natural casing wieners that are a few days old. Apparently collagen and grease leaking through the casing. Never seen it on ham.

Looks like today will be baked chicken day. Found some on sale...3 large breasts for $6. Almost 3 lbs total.
Plan is to rinse, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and bay leaf them. Then enclose in foil with a pat of butter on each and bake. Should be really really good. Just have to force myself to put enough salt on them. Ive become really stingy in salting stuff lately. Heck may even lemon one.

Re: Random randomness
Note: Just a reminder that things are more expensive up here, plus $1 Canadian is only worth $.076 American right now.
I may have been a little facetious. That said, internet tells me Loblaws is selling 2 boneless breasts for $5.45, claiming that's $2.43 off the full price, which would be almost $8 for 2 breasts if true.
By comparison, the same store is selling a uncooked whole chicken for $7.64 (claiming full price is $13.38).
The products do not list their mass, but it looks like they've included the per Kg sale price below, so if I really wanted to know how big they were, I could do a simple calculation.
Currently the "sale" price:
Boneless/skin on chicken breast: $9.90/Kg ($4.49/lb)
Whole chicken: $4.39/Kg ($1.99/lb)
But mostly my point was not that things are expensive up here (they are) and no deals can be found (they can be), but that we pay full price for everything always, because I don't do the shopping because my wife is home for 4-5 days of the week while the kids are in school so she does the shopping, and she values her time over the price of things. It's hard to argue, since I do too, so me taking over the task is probably not going to happen, particularly when I'm only off 2 days of the week and that's when the kids are home too, but my wife is at work. But really, I don't want to do it.
The non-sale price at this store:
Cooked whole chickens: $13.33/Kg ($6.05/lb)
With the listed price being $11.99/chicken.
Again, these aren't the best deals to be had (I assume). These are the prices if you walk into Loblaws and put these items in your basket today, which is exactly how our shopping gets done.
I may have been a little facetious. That said, internet tells me Loblaws is selling 2 boneless breasts for $5.45, claiming that's $2.43 off the full price, which would be almost $8 for 2 breasts if true.
By comparison, the same store is selling a uncooked whole chicken for $7.64 (claiming full price is $13.38).
The products do not list their mass, but it looks like they've included the per Kg sale price below, so if I really wanted to know how big they were, I could do a simple calculation.
Currently the "sale" price:
Boneless/skin on chicken breast: $9.90/Kg ($4.49/lb)
Whole chicken: $4.39/Kg ($1.99/lb)
But mostly my point was not that things are expensive up here (they are) and no deals can be found (they can be), but that we pay full price for everything always, because I don't do the shopping because my wife is home for 4-5 days of the week while the kids are in school so she does the shopping, and she values her time over the price of things. It's hard to argue, since I do too, so me taking over the task is probably not going to happen, particularly when I'm only off 2 days of the week and that's when the kids are home too, but my wife is at work. But really, I don't want to do it.
The non-sale price at this store:
Cooked whole chickens: $13.33/Kg ($6.05/lb)
With the listed price being $11.99/chicken.
Again, these aren't the best deals to be had (I assume). These are the prices if you walk into Loblaws and put these items in your basket today, which is exactly how our shopping gets done.

Re: Random randomness
I got the breasts because Ive been craving baked chicken breasts for 3 - 6 months. But I do prefer the Walmart cooked chickens. So tender and delish but likely a lot less healthy.
