Costco chickens are brined (injected with saline) which makes them moister than most grocery store roasted chickens.
That, and they tend to get snatched up quickly, so they’re usually fresher.
That’s how I like it.
My mom, too.
I realized one day that most people who cook at all are decent at it. They just have very different food preferences. So most people either over season or under season, according to the tastes of others. And many people also undercook or overcook, again, according to the preferences of others. If you cook stuff you enjoy, you are probably a good cook. Even if i won’t eat anything you make.
Yes. My husband simply refuses to eat my bread, because I like really dense whole-wheat loaves. It’s not that I couldn’t make lighter loaves: I just don’t want to. More for me!
On the other hand, while I’m a decent cook, he’s a great cook. If I were to grade them, my meals range from C- to A-, average B. His from A- to A+, average A.
Salting the earth destroys it’s ability to grow crops and is destructive. But salt, in the right place, is very valuable. And the salt of the earth represents that value, and it’s a compliment.
Yeah.
When I was a teenager, I worked in the records room at my father’s office, because that was the job I could get to; and we ate breakfast at his father’s cottage, because my mother stayed up late and slept late but my grandfather was always up early.
He always made scrambled eggs for breakfast; incompletely scrambled, so there were large areas of whites and large areas of yolk as opposed to a well-mixed even pale yellow. I thought at the time that he didn’t know how to scramble eggs, but they were edible and I wasn’t about to tell my grandfather how to cook, so I said nothing and ate them.
Some twenty years later and well after he was dead, it suddenly occured to me: that almost certainly wasn’t a repeated mistake. That was how he liked his eggs.
There is an English version
The Latin expresses a rather stronger sentiment!
And without the sexism.
Always good!
But with genocide, slavery and war crimes…
Well, true. But I take the tshirt to be making the point that nonchalantly salting the earth is Bad.
But the slavery comes with free Frogurt!
Nah, that’s the Pharaoh’s plagues. No salt, just boils.
And potassium benzoate
I sometimes donate to Wikipedia when they solicit, and sometimes don’t.
However, the Romans didnt really salt the earth at Carthage.
Pfft. Technicalities. Atqui Carthago salienda est.
(Wavering between atqui & iam, trying to go for the sense of “not disagreeing; salting still must happen.”
