Unplugged update
20 August 2008 12:43Yesterday I made a pasta using the olives that I kept in the pantry. Today I finished them off. Still tasty, still firm like a kalamata should be. Still alive :) So, I know that brand can stay in the cupboard for at least two days with no ill effects.
The technique of leaving food in a pot on the stove that has been boiled/heated for five minutes seems to be working as well. Did it yesterday with the pasta. Admittedly, it didn't sit all that long before MWH finished it off.
I finished the last of the Morning Star Farms veggie sausages from the freezer this morning. I think I may miss those the most. It is a bummer because they are vegetarian, so I *could* eat them if not for the fact that they are frozen. I may have to divise an experiment to see if I can keep them somehow...
In other news, I ordered red worms for a compost bin! (http://northwestredworms.com/default.aspx) Very excited about this one as well! With all of the leaves and cut off bits from all of the organics we have been eating, these little guys should be well fed :)
