Ah, a fellow connoisseur I see. Do you add enough chili to make them spicy?
Have you tried onion, garlic, fenugreek, coriander, chili? I did a duck and a rattlesnake that way this summer and they were both indescribably delicious on crackers.
Fried eggs last 2 weeks in the fridge easy. Maybe turn your fridge temp down? Or just try it; you might be surprised how long you survive.
Lol, you're right, I didn't check whether they ship to the uk. Tell ya what, if y'all downvoters want to pay for shirts plus shipping I'll make an order and mail them to one of you for distribution. Are we square?
Fruit: dehydrate, freeze, or alcoholic fermentantion. Some fruit have special methods, like sulphured apples or bletted medlars.
Vegetables: easiest thing is to pack in brine of 3Tbl per Qt, leave at room temperature or a little cooler for a week before eating. I alway throw in some onion and garlic because I like it that way. Lasts like 6 months at room temperature. Most vegetables have additional special traditional preservation methods, but that fermented pickle in brine works for pretty much all of them.
If you want to be more specific with which foods you need to preserve, I can provide more options.
I'm writing a book on food preservation, ama.

I guess that might be -slightly- easier than setting a timer on your phone. Doesn't your washer beep when it's done though?
Why would anyone connect an appliance to the internet?
Hey! We do have common ground! More frequent small towns/villages would definitely be a good thing. Idyllic, even. I don't know how to get there from here though.
In my area it's not really zoning laws; it's just economics of scale. There used to be a convenience store/hardware/feed store just like 5 miles from my place. It went out of business 30 years ago when they put walmart and lowes in the city. If it were back, i could probably get by with a horse and buggy.
Fair enough, I guess. I was just hoping for a way out of my personal car dependency.
I would love to find a way out of needing them, but I think maybe you're right. It's just a necessity for us. Anyway if the city people can ditch their cars it will solve most of the ecological problem.
Towns and villages would be a lot nicer if we parked on the outskirts and walked, biked, or golf carted around. Not sure how to implement that though, at this point.
Thanks for the introduction, those bakfiets are really cool and I'd never heard of them before. I can imagine lots of scenarios where that would be useful. I might be able to take a load of groceries to and from a carpool with it.
Anyone who has animals, commercial or not, needs to haul more than that. For context, one cow eats around 50lbs a day in the winter. I only have three right now, but it takes maybe 5 to feed ourselves and the handful of houses around us.
I guess anyone who hauls feed for livestock needs a truck, unfortunately.
Could it? Sure, but will it? Probably not. If in doubt I guess you could always do a quick plate count to get an idea of what's going on in there.
