Video of the Day – Washing Chicken, Farting and Sweating

Video of the Day

It’s amazing what you learn each day.

1) Don’t wash your chicken – washing causes bacteria to spray (fly/spread) around your kitchen. Cook to 165°F (74℃) to kill bacteria.

2) The average person farts 10 times a day. Healthy number is 10-20. More if eating “gassy” foods (garlic, onions, spicy foods, beer). Average volume = 0.5 qt to 1.5 qt per day. If no change in your life and you’re farting too much see your doctor.

3) Sweating cools your body. If you don’t sweat you can overheat; dress in light enough clothing.

Remodel, Part 29: New Stairs and Phase 3 Done

If you recall from Remodel, Part 26: Phase 3 New Hardwood Stairs and Loft and Remodel, Part 28: New Handrail, Brent had ripped out old carpeting and installed new hardwood floors and stairs.

In addition, he made us a new handrail.

Then stain guy came in and stained the loft floor…

and the stairs…

After the stain dried, he coated everything with a top coat. Check out the “after”.

It’s so strange. We’ve lived in this house for 17 years. It has only been such a short time since we did the remodels and I can barely remember what it was like before. Weird!

So this brings to a close Phase 3. Phase 4 coming soon! ;)

Whenever you’d made a big change, do you have a hard time remembering the “before” ?

Have you read my Irish Flag Cordial post? Did you notice my Crème de Menthe wasn’t in a “store bought” bottle? There’s a good reason for that… I made it!

When I looked at the ingredients for the Irish Flag I didn’t have any Créme de Menthe. At first I thought, “Ugh, . . . → Read More: Friday Cocktail – Homemade Crème de Menthe

Friday Cocktail – Irish Flag Cordial

In honor of St. Patrick’s Day this weekend, I thought I would share drink I found on Pinterest – actually the pin had 30 different shots. I chose the “Irish Flag” shot. The Irish flag is orange, white and green. So, this is a layered drink.

I’ve never done a layered drink . . . → Read More: Friday Cocktail – Irish Flag Cordial
