[Confused about carrying Tacos with me in the car]

I’ve skipped the most basic question, can you have a fire?

[Confused about carrying Tacos with me in the car]

I work on the road a lot. I recently went 11 days on the road, ordered one pizza in, all other meals were off the tailgate of my truck.  
 

@MisterKrazee, definitely an option. 
 

I cooked with gas stoves/grills.  Some a bit heavy, some were my backpacking gear. 
 

Can you “mise en place” so to speak, and cook in place?

[Stuffed Lettuce/Lettuce Cup Ideas]

While you are thinking about a wrap, plate a couple of leaves, top with a slice of tomato or two ( preferably yellow ). Fry two strips of fatty bacon crispy. Drizzle the hot bacon grease over the lettuce and tomato and add the crumpled bacon. 

[Dinner 2020]

Been chilly here the past few days, so soup.

 

Tomato bisque with a bacon, spinach, tomato, cheese, caramelized onion on Italian sandwich, fried in the bacon drippings.

We are having an early summer.  Normally we don't hit 90 until May (then the rains start in June and our summer highs are below 80), but we have hit 90 twice this past 10 days.  Our interior is 78-80.  No a/c (or heating) here.  I think 5 weeks in fridge will be fine for me.  I worry about food supply chain, but so far so good.  No shortages of anything, not even TP!

 

Don’t let them sweat.  As @heidh mentioned in the link. As my foremothers insisted. 
 

Cooler is better.

My grandmother was too busy chasing me around with a cast iron pan to worry about "the bloom."

 

Yes, it was cast iron. I didn’t really realize that at the time. It was just a pan. 

 

What I did realize, was the love coming from those pans.

lol. Have you ever eaten an egg in Mexico?

Well, the alternative is that they're deliberately adding it to washed eggs. So yeah, Occam's Razor says that "bloom on" is the likelier explanation.

  
Somewhat to the contraire,

 

I was told this by a Great Grandmother, two Grandmothers, and my Mother. 
 

Never store eggs in the spring house, it’ll wash the bloom. 
 

Mindful, an added lipid may survive.

Never really researched it, but the addition of some lipid is a modern, short term, stop gap.

Bloom....I had to look that up, so thanks for increasing my food knowledge.  

The eggs I buy often have a smear of poop and small feather pieces; I am safe to assume the bloom is on??  

 

Yes. Bloom is the hillbilly term for cuticle. 
 

Take what times and temps I’ve offered and adjust to your circumstances. 
 

I’ve business traveled Mexico, there is a lot of variance in “unrefrigerated” temps.

I'm in Central Mexico where eggs are sold UNrefrigerated.  I normally buy them and put in fridge.  Have read that REfrigerated eggs are good for 5 weeks, mas o menos.  

 

Some countries in the rest of the world also sell UNrefrigerated eggs.  For those of you familiar with these, how long is the shelf life of UNrefrigerated eggs?   

 

 

With the bloom on, unwashed, I have kept them in a tightly controlled refrigerator (34-36 F) for up to nine months. They lose a lot of flavor, I’m sure a lot of vitamin content, the yolk and both whites separate badly, they certainly don’t cook the same. 
 

In my root cellar (52-54 F) the same happens inside of six months. 
 

These are fresh eggs, literally minutes from the hen to storage. 
 

BLOOM ON.

Mouse cubes on Amazon. Release a mile away.

 

A very rude approach. 

[Getting Rid of Mice in the Kitchen]

A cat, that is a hunter, is worse than all of the methods previously offered. Feral taught, they can dispatch an incredible amount of wildlife. 
 

It’ll kill indiscriminately, likely the young, birds, squirrels, rabbits, etc. Kill the cat first. 
 

Next, clean your act up. You may get some stragglers from the neighbor. 
 

The tootsie roll suggestion is good, but cleanup is hard. Peanut Butter with the trigger wrapped in a small piece of cling wrap, wrapped with a small rubber band will trip even with the lightest lickers.

I didn’t think paleo restricted roots and root vegetables. 

[Cake salty on the bottom]

Salt is basically insoluble in fat. 
 

Your initial mix was fat heavy, leaving distribution of granules to the mechanics of the mixing.   
 

Milk, as the last ingredient, did not allow the salt to dissolve completely.  It was bound in fat.  Crushing it could have made the situation worse. 

I suspect the milk was not completely integrated into the mix. The salt that did dissolve would have been concentrated in the higher density liquid. 
 

Was the texture any different top to bottom?

 

[Beyond Meat, Impossible Foods, etc.]

Does a complete micro nutrient profile exist, published, of this concoction?

 

I spent a little time searching, to no avail.
