Snarky remarks on our Gmail account it'seating over the Sink one at gmail

(00:45):
dot com. So a debate thatit happens in our house all the time,
especially at grocery time when when someonewho's my wife from me brings the
groceries home. What goes in thefridge? What doesn't go on the fridge.
Because there's a number of food thatcould fall into either category. I
think the biggest one for most peopleis butter. You mean butter? Is

(01:06):
that what you're saying? Butter?Butter? Butter? Butter. That's the
only word I can say. There'stwo teas in there, and an english
person will actually say it, becausenormally we would say two teas butter butter.
So so a quick side note thatthat's a regionality thing, a regional
thing in London, right, likethat's a because some people would go but
but well, but you thank you, thank you for putting that out like

(01:30):
that. Actually just demonstrate my americanisms, like I so some words, I
will pronounce multiple layers to make itclearer for Americans to understand. You adjusted
that then, so I did adjust? Yeah, Like in London, I
would be like ba okay, yeah, anyway, so butter, so you
get you gotta but just sticks ofbutter. Where do you do you keep

(01:52):
your butter in the fridge or doyou put it like at a butter keep
on the counter where I get softfridge fridge fridge fridge yeah, yeah,
are you a counter or fridge?I'd say both. If I know I'm
going to use the butter, Iwill leave it on a counter because if
it's if you're buttering toast, itrips up the bread man. If it's

(02:12):
cold, yeah, I mean we'reusing fake butter. And you're going out
of a tub. Yeah, we'reon table butter. But it's not real
butter. Then, well, Imean, what do you mean it's it
looks like but I can't believe it'snot butter butter. I can't believe it
looks like but especially it doesn't tastelike that. We normally we refrigerate a
lot of stuff that probably doesn't needrefrigerating. Our rule of thumb is if

(02:34):
it's refrigerating, gross story, it'srefrigerating the house. Okay, So we
buy like ranch dressing ranch, you'rewelcome. Like we buy already refrigerates,
we put into where do you buyrefrigerated ranchat? Like? Look at this
teta No, like you know,like like a grocery store. No,

(02:54):
it's on a shelf. No,no, no, it's like where you
pick up fruits and vegetables. Nownow I'm getting the disconnect. Also,
the organic ranch that's behind I gotyou over there where the fruits already cut
up for you. But the PaulNewman's ranch like that, like over there,
the lettuce that's already pre packaged foryou over here yourself, people,

(03:15):
it's the one made out of likeyogat and so well, it's a it's
a continent. It's a no.No, it's a container. It's a
container. There's one there's one brandof ranch, hit Valley, Hitten Valley,
and it comes with a squeeze box. If that doesn't need refrigerated until
you open it, we refrigerate.We buy a runch dressing from the salad

(03:38):
aisle where the lettuce and stuff is, there's a refrigerated section. There's some
ranch in the now. Just forthe record, I'm not a runch person.
I'm a blue cheese person. Myson and my wife like runch.
So I did some research before theshow about butter on the counter, and
food experts agree that it's okay tosit out as long as it's for up

(04:00):
to a week. I'm not sayingit's not, it won't. I'm just
saying, do you know I thinkit's weird. I'm crazy about food safety,
that's right. That sounds that soundsdisgusting to me, but I do.
My love of soft butter supersed myfear of being that love of soft

(04:21):
butter application. Maybe I don't know. That's a Royal penn They asked me,
you have a nice piece of toastand you put something, trying to
put butter or whatever spread and it'shard and it rips it up. Frustrating.
It's like trying to peel off likefor your head and Valley Ranch when
you open the top and you're tryingto open it and as that freaking plastic
cap on top. You know,I'm talking about the one you have to

(04:43):
rip off. But they don't giveyou any real To me, that's some
guys or whatever, some person sittingsomewhere thinking, how can I royally piss
people off every day? I knowI do that because they make it hard
to get off, so people can'ttake it off in the store. No,

(05:04):
No, the food safety yes,why would someone want to take off
of the store. You would beshocked, I'm sure I would. People
are crazy. Man. What abouteggs? So I learned something interesting recent
you guys probably noticed, But likewe've got some friends that have chickens and
have their own eggs, And therule of thumb there is, as long

(05:25):
as you don't wash them, youcan keep them on the counter for three
months without them going bad. Assoon as you wash them, though,
you've got to refrigerator. Do youknow somebody that keeps eggs on the counter
the people that have tickets. Sowhat about washing them changes? I am
not an expert of eggs, butthat's what they tell me. As soon
as you wash it change the dynamic. Maybe it's the temperature I don't know

(05:46):
of the egg and they can gobad. So as soon as you wash
the chicken shit off the egg,well you have to refrigerator. You don't
correct, Yes, So if youknow as long as that's on the counter
with with that on, you're good. You're good for three months, for
up to three months. I trustthat up to three months. But think
about like we buy refrigerate eggs.Obviously they've got be refrigerators, right process.

(06:10):
Yeah, right, so you gotrefrigerators and I get kind of squirrely
with eggs, like I like toeat them. Buy enough for the week,
So we buy fresh eggs every week. There should be the row on
condiments. If you buy a condimentand it's not opened, you can store
it in your pantry or wherever youstore it. If you open it,
it goes in the fridge. Sothis is real quick exception. What about

(06:30):
syrup, We do fridge for us, we do freely. We do fridge
for the syrup we do fridge forthe refer the syrup. What is that
like on the end of a saddleyou put your foot syrup syrup, syrup,
there's syrup. I'm with you,though, Like our syrup is in

(06:51):
syrup is in the fridge. Syrupnow just to put a little like it
makes like thick and it's like it'sjust like kind of it doesn't come out
of it. You have to micawave the syrup before you put it on
your our syrup said, syrup,syrup, get back in character. But
our syrup it's fine, Like itstays in the f I mean, how

(07:14):
cold is refrigerator? It flows finewhen you pour it. Honey though we
keep in the in that honey isnot a fridge. Yeahs like honey doesn't
go bad. Honey is never goesbad. It's one of the only foods
that never ever goes bad. Really, yeah, didn't know that, but
no, we keep our syrup inthe cupboard, just in the cabinet,
in the cover, and it mightget into an in the in the pantry.

(07:36):
I'm sure I've got any cupboards now. Generationally, Like you go to
my dad's house, my dad's seventyeight, you know, every condiment is
in the cupboard, nothing's in thefridge. Then catch up runch all of
that is not refrigerator runchy. Addressthat peanut butter, one of Officer Andy's

(07:59):
favorite food. It's refrige or pantry. We've done both. Pantry, we've
done both because that organic type hasthat oil soil. Try and keep it.
But we've done both. Yeah,pantry, pant for the for the
peanut butter. Yeah, and itsurvives after the first. And here's one

(08:20):
because it's sold both ways. AndI have a strong preference on this pickles
because you can buy there's a brandof pickles that it sold. I'll just
closs and pickles is my favorite pickleand it's produced and sold cold in the
free in the refrigerated section. Isthat one in the plastic tub? Is
it plastic tub? No, they'rein glass jars. But then like most
of the other pickles that are likethey're almost green, neon green, like

(08:43):
the lastic pickles, which I thinkbecause they're cooked to death. Those are
sold sitting out on the shelves atthe store. I have a big jar
pickles from Costco. The huge jar. It's in the fridge. It's in
the fridge. It's in the fridge. Yeah, we fridge with pickles,
banana peppers and all that stuff.So on the fridge. Oh, that's

(09:09):
in the cabinet for us, it'sin our pantry. Yeah, yeah,
yeah, I think it's supposed tobe refrigerated. Don't quote me on that
little homework. I don't know.We actually use coconut aminos. Who do
you have those? Such a it'slike, did you say aminos? Let

(09:31):
me tell something I could put letme tast something that sounded like, let
me tell you something American right there? And if I put coca coconut aminos
next to the green top soy sauce, the light or low sodium stuff,
I don't think you'd be able totell the difference. I would. It's
about forty two m really yeah,that's not really true. I don't know,

(09:52):
it just sounds good. I thinkthis is ridiculous. Coconut aminos,
yeah yeah, the coke not amean salt for that special grocery stool with
a has refrigerator. Hold on,I got another refrigerating question. So wine,

(10:13):
So how do you feel because redand white could be different, but
way chill are red and white wine. I have an acquaintance who is a
Samoyer or Somlier if you're from Groveport. What is that like? Isn't that
the word for like a person whois a wine expert. Oh? I
don't know. Maybe s O MM I E L L. I don't

(10:37):
know what you said, but itwas fun too. I have nothing to
add. He said, you keepwhite wine in the fridge, pull it
out an hour before you pour it. You keep red wine out of the
fridge, put it in the fridgean hour before you serve it. Interesting,

(11:00):
So you want a little slight shoulderthe red and you want the white
to come up to room temperature.Huh, that's opposite the way my brain
works. But my yeah, Inever You don't have to do that if
your wind's in a box. Let'stalk about gas. Let's talk about going
to the gas station for a meal. Now there's one of us who is
going to carry this segment because theother two, I believe, are not

(11:24):
going to have nothing. I lovegas station there it is top ten no
no, no, like like favoritegas station beef jerky. Uh. And
if you can tell when you walkin the gas station, the beef Jerkey's
right there boom that catches your eye. They want you to buy it,
and I want to eat it,so that they put it right there for
me perfectly. I go over thereand grab it right off. I'm going

(11:48):
right into the beef jerney. ThenI love the chip aisle because sometimes you'll
get a crazy chip that you've neverseen, depending on on side of town
you're on. Yeah, yeah,uh, go for the little maybe bag
of chips. And then I lovethe drink section. I love the drink
section a lot. Why like thecoolers for it's just crazy, it's just

(12:11):
pop. No, no, youcan get a weird drink that you've never
seen, maybe a coke, vanillacoke or something. It's crazy back there.
What about like actual gas station food, Taketo's off the rollers. You
guys, never had a takeda?Hell no, oh my god, sounds
like a three you know what?That sounds exactly what it would do to
you, to kill you. Howabout this? The pre made sandwiches were

(12:35):
absolutely not on a on a ona scale of one to ten, ten
being the probability of you finding somesort of short and curly that type of
food. You're gonna find a shortgun And I no doubt. Okay,
so what's the best gas station sandwichyou've ever had to me? Going in
is? Oh, there's an eggsalad sandwich wrapped by you know, you

(12:58):
guys have never had the burritos froma gas station, like, throw it
in the microwave two minutes boom.No, you guys are crazy, like,
oh, you've done on all theselatch of trips and nobody's had gas
station food. We bring snacks withus. I'm with you on jerky,
I'm with you on potato chips.I love chips, whatever, drinks,

(13:18):
anything made by somebody not that works. These gas stations are getting better and
better. They got cheese curds inthe gas station. Yeah, well,
sheets is a great example, rolledup with mozzarella. They have all kinds
of stuff you can eat. That'sgreat. Talk about that. We've eaten

(13:39):
dinner in the gas station. No, no, no, no, We
went and picked up food from thegas station, caught ahead, ordered a
pizza from the gas station, wentand picked it up, brought it home,
ate it for dinner. Did youfill up on gas while you're yeah,
well that was gonna be My question. Is it a function of you
going there because the food's good oryou're that convenience, right, like gas,
I guess some food again, it'sso this is more of a restaurant,

(14:01):
No, that also sells gas.They have the food that they make,
chicken and pizza. That's all Imake. There's not like a huge
menu where you can like a youknow, a chicken without skin on it
sandwich. So that's not gas stationfood. Then I don't think. Well
that and the food is their mainthing. They just also happen to sell
gas. I'm talking about pulling intoa BP. Yeah, it's I've eaten

(14:26):
so much gas station food I'm embarrassedto talk about. No, you're not.
Yeah, it's gonna go viral,turkey chips, cookies, tequa bars.
