So I don't have to be anymore distracted from the skillet then I need to be. Then when I am done cooking I can throw everything away at the same time. Though if you just put the shells in the carton and there are eggs you are still going to use. You should have the ignoramus spayed or neutered.

I twist it up and tuck it under the loaf and it never has any problems with drying out. In fact, tucking it under the loaf even with the twist tie will allow it to last longer insomuch as drying out.

I find most people don't twist it up that much when not using a twist tie and that becomes the problem.

That's just to show it's possible, really. I don't use a knife when I do it, just my fingernails. Takes like 15 seconds a grape, but considering it takes like a third of that time to eat one, it's probably not worth doing it often.

Still, I recommend trying it next time you have some grapes and more time than you know what to do with. It really is a delicious texture, and they seem even juicier without the contrasting toughness of the skin.

I know butter, man. I know how it's like to try to spread it on your freshly toasted delicious slice of bread and it fucks it all up because it thinks it's boss and wants to show its power over you. I don't have a microwave and I sure as hell am not going to put my hair dryer in my kitchen.
With margerine, you just take it out, put it on your bread, put salami/tomatoes/pickles/whatever on it and enjoy the deliciousness. Butter is overrated.

>freshly toasted
Put your knob o' butter on one slice, cover with the other for a few seconds (because who only eats one?), and it will be sufficiently soft to spread. If you're doing it for dinner service (some people like butter on soft bread), you're already cooking shit - just put some butter in a custard dish or the like and heat it a little.

I'm not telling you not to use veg spread if that's what you like, but don't act like butter is some enigmatic brainteaser that only geniuses manage to eat without fucking up some form of bread. Jeez.

I just took over at this point. Thinking that bacon needs to cook longer than sausages is bad enough, but pre-heating a pan on max heat for fried eggs? And at the same time as the sausages, how long was she going to cook them? I didn't ask her if it was her first time even frying an egg, I just suggested that the sausages might need a bit longer than the bacon to cook through and took over completely. That was the last time she cooked anything for me, and we've been going out for six months.

Well, yeah, because you're gonna throw the whole thing away then and there. If you were to only use a couple of the eggs, it wouldn't be worth it.

But they're nice and smell good every time they get wet

Why pay for potpurri when you could just smell fresh tea all the time?

You're welcome, in advance.

God damn, I don't know, but fucking everybody I know has done it at least once. Shit drives me fucking mad - especially when you can just turn and toss the can in the bin. Fuck.

I'm guessing all the people who say to throw their shells away with the carton aren't Canadian, then?

We have three things - garbage, recycling, and green bin.

Egg shells go in the green bin, and the carton usually goes in recycling.
