Chicken (or duck) with it's back on the cutting board—a whack with a heavy chef's knife (or the like) on both sides of the spine should split it easily. Use the spine for stock.

It's been around for some time. I forgot about it until this thread. If it's free, I guess it's okay, but for the best in food safety, see Dr. O. Peter Snyder's stuff, especially "FOOD SAFETY HAZARDS AND CONTROLS FOR THE HOME FOOD PREPARER" He also has a better hand washing routine. There's also a ton of other info on his website. In terms of food safety, there's also the USDA Foodborne Pathogenic Microorganisms and Natural Toxins Handbook. For cooking technique, get a book by Pepin or the like.

Now that's my kinda fridge!!!

Vitacost is currently offering 20% off all ($50 and over) food orders—and free shipping. 24 hours only. This is the best deal I've found on Redboat Fish Sauce and Bragg Organic Raw Apple Cider Vinegar and some other stuff.

A simple trick that works okay for something like natural peanut butter is to rotate the jar, top to bottom, bottom to top, once or twice per day.

No, not that I've found.

Yeah, me too!

I don't give a rat's ass what my fridge looks like. I don't aim to impress, never will! Not caring what other people think is a superpower!

I have may of them too, just not on the fridge.

I like "push pin" style rare earth magnets. I prefer black, but they're also available in metallic, which, I think, would look good on a stainless steel fridge. The wider, the better. I acquired mine via eBay.

I've added another 2.1 speaker system to Google Home group. This is a small house but true whole-house sound coverage required it. So, playing on Home group are the full-size Google Home, two Google Home Minis, and three 2.1 speaker systems playing via two Chromecast audios. A 3.5mm "Y" splitter attached to one of the Chromecast audios.

"It's Apple's HomePod vs. the Google Home Max." "Who's got the sound and smarts to reign supreme? It's a Prizefight punch-out for smart speaker supremacy." Another vote for the Google Home Max in terms of sound quality. Google also wins as an assistant and smart-home controller, but there's definitely plenty of room for improvement!!! BTW, I think they''re both ugly. LOL

Who's your favoritest food writer? I see M. F. K. Fisher mentioned a lot—love the last name!

Our family's preferred schnitzel—by far— has always been venison dusted with flour containing salt and pepper, pounded flat, and fried in butter! Adapted, over time, in my paternal grandmother's family—who came from the Palatinate of the Rhine. I grew up on the stuff! It's my preferred way of eating venison—I love it!

Yeah, that sucks! Same with Google Home. I put in a feature request a couple weeks ago, asking the Google Home team to add the alarm feature to Home Group when requested. I also asked that the pronunciation of Elmira, NY be corrected—it's EXTREMELY irritating. Alexa gets it right. FWIW, this is one of the best Google Home articles I've found. The ultimate guide to Google Home: Tips and tricks for understanding and making the most out of your assistant speaker. The comments are worth a read too.

FWIW, Google Home Max tops Apple HomePod for audio, says Consumer Reports.

No, I definitely don't do Apple. I've had too much bad luck with expensive Apple products in the past. But, I do remember lusting for an Apple Mac Plus way back in 1986—the public library in Corning, NY had a couple or so. Apple's brilliant marketing strategy, early on, was to give away, or sharply discount computers to schools, libraries and like to get the young hooked on them. The Apple Mac Plus cost $2,600!!! I now run 'free' Linux and open-source software as much as possible.

My Alexa (Eufy Genie) is now in the kitchen, along with a new Google Home Mini. So, now, that's a full sized Google Home and two minis, along with two Chromecast audios, all playing music, ebooks, or podcasts simultaneously when commanded.

I don't eat early—no breakfast—and I don't eat late. 1 or 2 meals per day. Earliest at noon, latest at 4:00 PM. Unless it's a special occasion, which is very rare. ETA: ZERO snacks!

Have to, should, avoid sugar and starch. I really like Jus Gras—made with sunflower lecithin.

ANYONE can be a grower!!! Heck, I've posted about it MANY times, here and elsewhere—about me getting rid of ALL inedibles in my yard and replacing them with edibles, etc.—there's almost NO interest! Seems—the view, almost always is—someone else who should be doing the work! I don't get it!

LOL I think that 'sick' in a context such as this could have two meanings—exactly the opposite. When I see the term 'sick' used as above, I almost always take it to mean, 'sick' as in/short for 'sickening.'
