Same here. I grew up with margarine only. It *was* cheaper but
I think some people (like my Mom) also thought is was healthier.
I kept that thinking myself into my early adulthood.

I only use butter now. For better or worse, it's more
natural plus it tastes so much better. I try to look
out for my body and the taste bud gang is part of my system.
I always try to keep those kids happy. :-D

None of those ingredients scare me, but "spread" tastes horrible. Butter
all the way, for me.

My father loved butter and my mother hated it. She tried margarine in
the house, mainly for cost savings, but my father insisted on butter.
While I am not a big fan of margarine I think it has its place. I was
used to and preferred grilled cheese with margarine. It also worked
well for French toast. The original Buffalo wings were made with Franks
Hot Sauce and margarine, and I always made them that way. They are much
better with margarine than with butter.

When I was growing up we never used butter - just margarine. My guess is it
was because it was cheaper although it was generally thought in America that
butter would clog up your arteries. I guess that was a good enough reason to
avoid the stuff. Does butter clog up arteries? Beats me but that's my story
and I'm sticking to it!

Tonight I had lemongrass chicken. It was a bit on the spicy side but
delicious!

====================

Looks lovely)

I grew up with margarine too. Cheap I suppose, but since I left home,
always butter.

I was never a big fan of butter or margarine. We kept the stuff in the refrigerator and trying to apply it was an ordeal. These days I'll use spread but I'd probably use butter if it was spreadable. Most times it's not because we still keep it in the refrigerator. We keep it in the refrigerator because it gets too soft in the tropics.

Like a lot of Asian households, my mom controlled the money so we got margarine. I've made wings with teriyaki sauce but not Buffalo wings. That's just as well since I don't keep margarine in the house - just spread. I'm not sure how Buffalo wings would turn out using a spread product. Probably not good.

Same here. I co-own the local Freecycle chapter (the real one, not the
freecycle.org stuff). Not as big as it once was (mostly due to Yahoo
changes to groups) but still trafficing a couple of hundred messages a
month. Guy just passed on some high end audio gear (home recording
shop, make your own music CD's). I just posted for a 12 cup coffee
maker to keep one out of landfill. I passed on 13 cans of cat food
(grain free, high end) that my cat won't eat. Passed on a high end
cable modem/router with wifi when I swapped to FIOS last month.

Picked up some excess butternut squash, all nicely cubed (person tried
it and didnt like it) and some freezer burned venison (for the dogs).

Thats this past month. It's about being green and finding uses for
things or if you don't have one, passing them on to another who can use
it. Like, I need to ask if anyone has babyfood jars with lids or
Talenti empty containers with lids. I use them for spices when we
order in bulk then split them down.

I was going to make some banana bread today. I had a bag of horrific rotten bananas that I stashed away for this purpose. It was a month old. It was also gone. Someone threw away my rotten stinkin' food. Looks like I'll have to start from square one again.

Next time I'll mash up some black bananas, add some sugar in, and ferment for a few days and make some bread using the mash. My goal is an intense banana bread - perhaps ridiculously so. Molasses will be involved, of course.

==================

Oh dear, you will need to have a word with 'someone' <g> I don't often make
banana bread but when I want to, I freeze the bananas. I know nothing about
fermenting the bananas!!

Do you freeze yours with or without the peels on? I used to throw them in
the freezer as-is, until I heard a tip to peel them before freezing and
I've never looked back! I make a lot of banana bread (and muffins) and I
love having banana mash on hand when I'm requested to make banana bread
*right now*.

=====================

I just put them in the freezer with peel on! It never occurred to me to
peel them first.

Do you mash it before you freeze it?

I peel then freeze them when they start going brown enough to be better
for bread levels. Use a ziplock baggie and you can mash them un right
in there.

On the fermenting them, not sure if that was a joke or not.

Just peel and use a ziplock baggie, mashes by hand with no cleanup
required.

Correct. I just found a lady who wants the empties from the little
indulgence order I get for me and Charlotte. Nice wide mouth purple
containers with lids used for bath salts.

She mixes her own with epsom salts and various other things then prints
her own little labels for them and gifts them to friends at Christmas
time.

No, I just peel them, break them in half and stick them in a ziploc freezer
bag. I usually put 2-3 to a bag (depending how big they are) so I just
have to take out one bag each time I make it. Lately though I've been
making my bread with less over-ripe bananas (1 slightly over-ripe, 1
regular ripe) because I have a family member in town alone on an extended
stay and he likes it less sweet. I also add some ground flax to it.

Thanks! The bananas I put in the freezer go black. Does the peeled fruit
go black?

Brown yes but not noted actual black. Harmless though. Safe and it's
sort of the sugars doing their thing there. Not unsafe.

I haven't frozen any of my bananas but evidently other people do. If you wait long enough the banana peels will just disintegrate when you touch it. Hoo boy! The enzymes in the banana converts the starches into sugars and then the sugars are converted into alcohol by the yeast strains in the air. My guess is that the sweet spot is just when the banana starts producing alcohol.

I can appreciate your concern. I wouldn't recommend that anybody do some of the things I do.

Well, I changed the wheel cylinders on my truck recently. To bleed the cylinders you need two people or a special setup. I just cracked open the bleeder valve and when the brake fluid flowed out, closed it down. That was it - done. I don't recommend that anybody do this unless you know what you're doing.

This morning I made some corned beef hash and corn bread. The corned beef hash was made with two cans of potatoes, dehydrated onions, and one can of Palm canned corn beef. The corn bread was made with Marie Callender's cornbread mix to which some canned corn was added. I'd say it was a pretty good meal.

There was enough liquid in the potatoes to steam the onions. I prefer hash made with canned corned beef anyway. I don't like corned beef hash with coriander, cloves, and pickling spices. That's not right!

made with canned corned beef anyway. I don't like corned beef hash with
coriander, cloves, and pickling spices. That's not right!

=====================

That wouldn't be popular here either)

Huh? It's very obvious that you've never prepared corned beef, which
is why you prefer canned (Alpo). Normal brained folks remove those
whole spices after simmering (rinse), before eating. I always discard
those old spent spices as soon as I open the package and use new/fresh
in a screened infuser... available in different sizes... everyone who
actually cooks has some:

I have nothing against pickling spices. I just don't like the flavor in corn beef hash. Obviously yoose never had a proper corned beef hash. We were at the Original Pancake House the other day. It's a fine establishment but the beef in the hash was boiled in pickling spices. That's not right and neither are you!

It's popular because it's proper. I suppose it could be proper because it is
popular too but you didn't hear me say that.
