FOOD SPOILAGE TABLE
(origin unknown)
THE GAG TEST
Anything that makes you gag is spoiled (except for leftovers from what you
cooked for yourself last night).
EGGS
When something starts pecking its way out of the shell, the egg is probably
past its prime.
DAIRY PRODUCTS
Milk is spoiled when it starts to look like yogurt. Yogurt is spoiled when
it starts to look like cottage cheese. Cottage cheese is spoiled when it
starts to look like regular cheese. Regular cheese is nothing but spoiled
milk anyway and can't get any more spoiled than it is already.
MAYONNAISE
If it makes you violently ill after you eat it, the mayonnaise is spoiled.
FROZEN FOODS
Frozen foods that have become an integral part of the defrosting problem in
your freezer compartment will probably be spoiled - (or wrecked anyway) by
the time you pry them out with a kitchen knife.
MEAT
If opening the refrigerator door causes stray animals from a three-block
radius to congregate outside your house, the meat is spoiled.
LETTUCE
Bibb lettuce is spoiled when you can't get it off the bottom of the
vegetable crisper without Comet.
CANNED GOODS
Any canned goods that have become the size or shape of a basketball should
be disposed of. Carefully.
CARROTS
A carrot that you can tie a clove hitch in is not fresh.
WINE
It should not taste like salad dressing.
POTATOES
Fresh potatoes do not have roots, branches, or dense, leafy undergrowth.
CHIP DIP
If you can take it out of its container and bounce it on the floor, it has
gone bad.
GENERAL RULE OF THUMB:
Most food cannot be kept longer than the average life span of a hamster.
Keep a hamster in your refrigerator to gauge this.

Peel a banana from the bottom and you won't have to pick the little "stringy things" off of it. That's how the primates do it.
Take your bananas apart when you get home from the store. If you leave them connected at the stem, they ripen faster.
Store your opene d chunks of cheese in aluminum foil. It will stay fresh much longer and not mold!
Peppers with 3 bumps on the bottom are sweeter and better for eating. Peppers with 4 bumps on the bottom are firmer and better for cooking.
Add a teaspoon of water when frying ground beef. It will help pull the grease away from the meat while cooking.
To really make scrambled eggs or omelets rich add a couple of spoonfuls of sour cream, cream cheese, or heavy cream in and then beat them up.
For a cool brownie treat, make brownies as directed. Melt Andes mints in double broiler and pour over warm brownies. Let set for a wonderful minty frosting.
Add garlic immediately to a recipe if you want a light taste of garlic and at the end of the recipe if your want a stronger taste of garlic.
Leftover snickers bars from Halloween make a delicious dessert. Simple chop them up with the food chopper. Peel, core and slice a few apples. Place them in a baking dish and sprinkle the chopped candy bars over the apples. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes!!! Serve alone or with vanilla ice cream. Yum

But.. had to do with food.
It's easy to play.
Log on to www.freerice.com and you're ready to go.
For every correct word, FreeRice and its advertisers give 20 grains of rice to the United Nations World Food Program for distribution.
While it may not sound like much, you'll be surprised how quickly it adds up, especially if you take a break for a few minutes several times a day and play.
Besides supporting a hunger relief program you're increasing your vocabulary. Nobody loses.
it is habit forming I can tell you!!!
Approximately 7,200 grains of rice are in a cup.
.

.
ps, this marks my 501 post! How about that?!
Explanation: A grain of rice weighs between 20 and 30 mg. A cup of rice weighs about 7 oz or about 217724mg.

2 cans condensed cream of mushroom soup
1/2 cup milk
1 1/2 to 2lbs ground beef
1 pkg egg noodles
small jar of mushrooms
1/2 of small onion chopped
cook ground beef and noodles in separate pans according to directions.
drain noodles and drain ground beef
add mushroom soup (both cans), onion, mushrooms, and milk to cooked ground beef and cook over medium heat stirring often until mixture is creamy and very hot.
If it's too thick, add a little more milk
remove from heat and combine with noodles

I had this for dinner with my family yesterday and even my kids loved it!!
PS. I used a wok for the beef/beef mixture. It worked perfectly.

WOW that is like one of the good family stand-bys when we were growing up. It happened often because one of the kids forgot to take out hamburger from the freezer, so mom had to pressure cook it fast and add the rest while the noodles were cooking. Back in the day we did not have ground turkey or chicken. That is what I use now..
thanks for sharing Lord Zero

I don't know how much this is a recipe, or what to call it, but here's something I like to make for myself for lunch sometimes. i guess it could be an appetizer.
1 piece of whole-wheat Naan bread. (My supermarket sells 'em in packs of two. There's also a white variety, but I need the fiber.)
Extra-virgin olive oil
Mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 or 2 cloves of garlic
oregano and rosemary (or what spices you like)
Brush the naan with the olive oil. Sprinkle on the cheese. Slice the garlic thin and artistically arrange the slices on top of the cheese. Add spices to taste.
Pop the sucker on a baking sheet in the toaster oven at, oh, 400 degrees F is good, and bake for 6-8 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and begins to brown.
Take it out of the oven, give it a minute to cool, slice it up, and enjoy! |

That's sounds great. It seems like an Italian recipe considering the ingredients...

...except for the naan bread. There's a type of very flat but still soft Italian bread (forgot the name, sorry) with which the recipe would be "authentic Italian cuisine".

Had to go find a photo of naan bread, had no idea what it was. But that is not to say I have not enjoyed eating it.
If it were Italian, it would have to be bread wouldn't it? Do Italians make anything flat?
I could see it on a flour tortilla. Or Greek pita, or any pizza dough for that matter.
Answering my own question:
Aiysh-Country or region of origin: Egypt
Bammy-Country or region of origin: Jamaica
Barbari-Country or region of origin: Iran
Buckwheat Bread-Country or region of origin: Poland and the Baltic countries
Chapati-Country or region of origin: India
Crumpet-Country or region of origin: England
Injera-Country or region of origin: Ethiopia
Italian Flat Bread-Country or region of origin: Italy{A brittle, cracker-like Italian flat bread }
Khakhara-Country or region of origin: India
Lavash-Country or region of origin: Armenia and Iran
Mannaeesh-Country or region of origin: Lebanon
Schiacciata-Country or region of origin: Italy
Sopaipilla-Country or region of origin: Southwest United States and adjoining areas of northern Mexico
I left out a few that were crispy as crackers.
I know more than you wanted to know, but ..now ya do!
