I think this is a stupid "rule". Am I right or wrong?

Here in central Illinois, packaged mushrooms are stuck full of mud. My farmers' market mushroom guy has clean mushrooms though.


packaged mushrooms are always spotted with compost.  I wash then dry with a paper towel.  They don’t appear to absorb much water.   They give up lots of water when cooked no matter if you wash or don’t

I'd be interested to learn who first came up with the idea.  Probably someone living far from open water.  Different seas have different degrees of salinity.*  The Mediterranean Sea is 38 g/kg.  The Baltic Sea is 10 g/kg.  The Dead Sea is 337 g/kg.  The rule is stupid.  Not to be taken littorally.

 

It simply means salt your pasta water.

I've been in the dead sea. My friend accidentally swallowed some water while floating around. It was pretty funny.

I'm turning in my amateur etymologist card.  I can't believe I missed that!  LOL

 

 

I wouldn’t do that if I were you. With @JoNorvelleWalker you need two hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road all the time. I missed the one on the lunch thread with respect to duck soup. I thought her use of “marx” had to do with Communist China and I couldn’t quite make it all fit. Wrong marx!

Ok, well, I got that one because I love old movies.  She bears watching.
