Nothing makes me angrier than moldy bread. OK, some things do, but it really is up there in the pantheon.
-
@frankenspock SF sourdough bread gets moldy in just a few days.
-
@frankenspock right up there with soggy cereal... it's a communist plot! http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=7792143269357999563#
-
@stav Hmm, not in my experience. Sourdough tends to last longer, in fact, because of the acidity in the bread.
-
@stav The one I keep having problems with is soft whole wheat from Trader Joe's. Gone bad within five days the last two times I bought some.
-
@frankenspock mmm sourdough. I have an awesome website somewhere in my bookmarks all about breads and making them.
-
@frankenspock We don't have this problem when we go to the breadstore. I think a trip is in order. Down with moldy bread!
-
@frankenspock avoid touching the bread with your fingers when taking it out of the bag. Use tongs. Microbes from your fingers can cause mold
-
@frankenspock same rule for cheese.
-
@frankenspock Trader Joe's breads are super high in moisture for some reason. They always go bad in our house before we can finish.
-
@specialedward did you learn that trick from Howard Hughes?
-
@frankenspock almost.. Can't be sure but think I learned that from @zach
-
@frankenspock but I ignored the advice about collecting urine in milk jugs, and wearing Kleenex boxes for slippers.
-
@frankenspock I figured it had to do with the starter yeast maybe. Anyway, I also hate it when I see little spots of mold on the bread.
-
@frankenspock freeze half of the loaf when you buy it
-
@stav I have made sourdough a few times. no mold
-
@rkj Naw, then you gotta thaw it out, big problems, it gets dried out, yuck. I would expect fresh bread to last 4-5 days.
-
@specialedward @frankenspock and WASH your hands after you do you "business" <g>
-
@frankenspock wonder bread. lasts a fortnight or longer. depends on your definition of bread however.
-
@exador My definition of "bread" is "not Wonder Bread."
-
@frankenspock frozen bread is only good as toast... french or otherwise.
-
@frankenspock Wonder Bread isn't even food
-
@mcnee Correct. Hey, congrats on your 130lbs, btw.
-
@frankenspock thanks, I don't do much bread anymore, but still make some for holidays/special events.
-
@mcnee I tend to only eat stuff with lots of fiber nowadays.
-
@frankenspock I do lots of beans these days... 4-5 times a week probably. pinto, adzuki, soy... have some mung beans I cooked up need use up
-
@mcnee Trying to do more of that, good protein source and whatnot. The canned stuff always has so much sodium, though, and I'm lazy...
-
@frankenspock you have a crockpot? I don't do the whole soak then cook thing. couple hours in the crock pot and they're good to go
-
@mcnee Hmm, good idea. Yeah, we have a crockpot and love it.
-
@frankenspock pintos cook up great in crock pot, go for bout 3 hours and they get really soft, great for making refrieds
-
@frankenspock nice thing bout cooking them in crock pot, as long as you have enough water, even if you overcook them, you can still use them
-
@frankenspock Ah yes, the crockpot: for when you want everything gray, with mushy.
-
@zach great comic! I like this in for a reason
-
@joshix bah!
-
@joshix Not interested in being a seer. But I can foretell that the only implement you'll need for crockpot beef stew is a spoon. Badumpbump
-
@joshix searing is overrated. ;) in an case, I am cooking (tomorrow) corned beef and cabbage, on a crock pot
