Dry ice in a soap bubble?


No idea. I figured it was just dry ice in water. Haven't you ever done
that, say, for halloween? It' how you make "smoke" come out of a bowl.

I can't
say I was disappointed. The food was good. But I probably will not order from
them again.

Let us know how you liked them if you order from them.


Well, my verdict is in, and I have to agree with you. The steaks are ok(I haven't tried the burgers yet), but I wasn't doing the happy dance like David Venable on QVC.

The special seasoning included didn't wow me either. It mainly tasted like salt and pepper.


Yeah. I guess I expected huge, expensive-type steaks, but that's certainly not
what I got. But it was good. I'm glad you at least liked the steaks.

I got hot dogs and I think, iirc, I fed them to the dogs. Not that they weren't
high-quality. I just didn't feel like eating them. I might have put one in some
baked beans. I don't really remember.

No, I never have. (Therefore, my next paragraph has little experience to back it up.)

Seems like an awful lot of surface tension for just water. The bubble gets really big and overhangs before it breaks.

I knew what I was getting in terms of size, but the cuts were called filet mignon, and they really didn't live up to what I consider the crème de la crème of steaks.

My guess, dish soap and water.

This guy used soap to trap the "smoke" in a bubble before it pops.

Fascinating.

I got some frozen food via FedEx a couple of days ago and was going to play
with the dry ice, but it had already melted away. Fortunately the food was
still frozen. The "ice cream" was a little soft, though.

I wanted to remind anyone receiving frozen food in one of those big, thick,
styrofoam containers that they are great for use as a cat shelter for feral
or stray cats in the winter. All you really have to do is cut an access hole
on one end, secure the top to the bottom, and place them outside where they
won't get blown away or filled with rain water.

Here's a link to some Google search results.

If you don't want to use it this way, maybe there is a feral cat rescue
organization - or something like that - that will accept it and make a
winter shelter.

Question:

I have eggs with a sell by date in February. They have been refrigerated continuously. When cracked, the white seems thick (or maybe it's just the membrane being tough and reluctant to tear) and the yolk a bit darker than usual. They smell fine. Are they okay to eat?

Eggs stay fresh for at least two months.
The eggs will however dry and the white gets thicker as time goes by but are still ok to eat even after two months.
But it perhaps it's better to be safe than sorry not eating 4 months old eggs even if they smell okay.

Yikes. I wouldn't.

The window past the date is short. Web says 3-4 weeks past date if stored properly. Have you tried to float a egg in the shell? If a egg floats in water. It is not safe to eat.

I use them to slow cook in. Prepare food and heat to boiling a cast iron casserole lift off cooker and place in that big, thick, styrofoam container, punch temperature probe through lid to monitor temp. Usually takes more than 3 hours to drop to 65C which is hot enough to cook most meat, you may want chicken a little higher.
If not cooked enough, repeat cycle.

And if they are still warm from the hen they are completely different than anything you can get in a store.

According to this "scientific" approach it takes about 4 months until egg floats.
