I don’t drink alcohol, so no beer or wine. I do drink soda but have none at the moment, and never diet soda which I consider the worst of both worlds; tastes bad, still unhealthy. Use margarine, not butter. Don’t like yogurt or cottage cheese.
I used margarine right up until studies showed margarine had more unhealthy fats than real butter. Ever since I was a kid and tasted real butter at a friend’s house, I fell madly in love with the stuff.
It wasa holiday treat, and was ignored the rest of the year. Margarine was cheaper, better for you, and tasted almost the same.
Once the study came out about the “bad fats” in margarine, I never bought another stick, tub or squeeze bottle of the stuff.
I’m not even sure what some of that stuff is. Lunchable? Bologna?
A lot of what’s listed I don’t keep in the fridge - peanut butter, bread, eggs, limes, coffee, baking soda, marmalade, condiment in little restaurant packet (I don’t have any, but can’t imagine I’d keep them in the fridge. The restaurants don’t)
Huh! Bologna is not a common lunch meat in the UK? Granted, I think there’s several lunch meats that are common in the UK but not the US.
Bologna (pronounced “baloney”) is basically a sheet of skinless hot dog. Super processed meat or pork with spices, in disc form. It’s as common a lunch meat at ham, salami or turkey.
Ha, ok, I can sort of visualise what you’re talking about. Not sure what we’d call it though. Similar to what I’d call luncheon meat, maybe, but not precisely. Not common anyway! I’ve heard of the word ‘baloney’ but only via US popular culture. Never been sure what it actually is!
And a Lunchable is an amazing American invention where someone took the sandwich and de-constructed it, and put it into individual pieces to be pre-packaged and sold on the go. So you get a little container with a space for crackers, a space for cheese and a space for meat (such as bologna). If you’re cool there’s also a space with cookies. When you sit down for lunch you put the pieces together!
It’s charcuterie for children, basically. Except also good for adults (now that those of us who grew up on them are adults).
What?!! No! This is exactly opposite of the truth. The solubility of CO2 in water is inversely related to temperature; i.e. the lower the temperature of soda, the higher solubility of the CO2 and the more “fizz” it is able to retain.
It goes flat because the lower temperature means more CO2 must be released to equalize pressure in the increased space inside the bottle after you drink some of it.
There is no “equalization” of pressure going on in the bottle. A cold 2 liter bottle of soda will have lower vapor pressure in the headspace above the soda in the bottle than a room temperature bottle, due to the reduced amount of CO2 in that space. More of the CO2 will be dissolved in the liquid.
There hasn’t been a soda in my fridge or near me for over a decade.
There is Always peanut butter, Smuckers natural, always o.juice, and always a tomato.
