What produce/ingredients did you buy or obtain today (2023)?

[caseydog]

Yeah, I saw it was in cryovac but that's a lot of meat and I know you have a vacuum sealer, so wasn't sure...

I generally leave pork butts whole, especially if they are bone in. I like to slow roast or smoke them whole. I can always freeze cooked portions after they are cooked. This one is not very big (I picked the smallest one they had), and will loose a good pound as fat renders.

Quick stop at a local (though not that small) mom-and-pop shop:

That melon will be eaten today - very ripe.

Cracker Jacks are for MrsT (if she’ll eat them - 6 points a box) and the Moon Pie is for me.

Some grass from the evening market.

I didn’t buy this (and I’m not going to), but I thought you’d all get a kick out of it

I don’t get the cooling effect it claims - you’re presumably already putting cold milk in it.

Maybe it has mint in it? Yuck.

The ingredients state, among other things, that it contains calcium carbonate, maybe that’s it.

Scratch that, Google says it’s made with “sugar alcohols,” a type of carbohydrate that produces a mouth-cooling effect.

Ah. I was wondering, because the calcium supplement I used before switching to calcium citrate was calcium carbonate (also active ingredient in Tums) and I never noticed a cooling effect.

I look at that and wonder what the sugar content is?!

Is it kept in the freezer?

Is it kept in the freezer?

From the pic it looks like shelf-stable on the same shelves as the other boxed cereal.

14g of sugar per serving, LOL!
REVIEW: Kellogg's ICEE Cereal - The Impulsive Buy

 

[TastyReuben]

Is it kept in the freezer?

No, it’s a dry cereal. It’s just that (apparently) there’s a slight chemically-induced cooling effect when biting into the cereal, to somewhat mimic drinking an Icee.
