The genius that thought of that was a research lab at the University of Akron. They developed a whole field of "controlled release " plastics. Most of it was done after WWII using plastics from BF Goodrich and Goodyear. Many of the meds we take are in controlled released plastics. It is the only way some of them can be delivered orally.

I never thought of that. I

I never thought of that. I knew about the protein chemistry. Maybe that is why egg salad is such comfort food. There is lemon or vinegar in bought salad dressing like Miracle Whip.

The vinegar will also

The vinegar will also neutralize sulfur smell / taste. I add a drop of white vinegar to my two egg omelet. It just makes it taste better to me.

I have been making chili for a couple decades.

I use whatever is around; chili powder and/or cumin and/or red pepper sauce.

We should just do an entire post asking for chili recipes. The best comfort food of all!

And it is always good as a side to Polish or hamburgers.

Now when I post I still have to edit. The lines are too far apart. And I have to re-embed the video.

And I usually add or subtract anyway...re-edit.

I did not re-edit much here because it was a two person project.

Cereals ... I'm not sure if they still do it, but for a long time, if you checked the side of the Spoon-sized Shredded Wheat box, you'd discover that in order to maintain their claim of being 'all-natural with no preservatives', the manufacturer would add preservatives, not to the cereal, but to the inside of the package lining which held the cereal. Unfortunately, due to the type of plastic used, the lining was not very good at holding onto the preservative .... so, wonder of wonders, it all fell onto the cereal ... Whoever the genius was that thought of that, well, I hope he got a big bonus for his out of box... errr, inside of the box thinking.

Also, re: chili powder ... One of the few recipes my mother passed down to my sister and myself was for her chili. I call it 'Depression Chili', since it contains no chili powder whatsoever. Instead, you substitute paprika for the chili powder. (It also includes as an ingredient, a can of undiluted Campbell's tomato soup, but never mind that.) I usually make a batch and then freeze a half dozen or so portions for micro-waving later. Yum.

Actually instant potatoes last fall was cheaper then bagged potatoes when they were a $1 a pound in South Florida. You always have to be on your toes in the grocery store.

I find them real cheep just before the fall holidays in discount stores. My favorite place is Big Lots/ Odd Lots for spices. I find a lot of cool stuff in their grocery sections.

If you put a tablespoon of cider vinegar into your boiling water instead of salt, It make a better poached egg. Salt causes bubbles in the egg white. You can give it a dash of salt after you drain it on a paper towel. The acid in the vinegar makes the protein in the egg bond faster and you don't have to cook as long to get that nice milky egg white around the yoke and leaves the center nice and soft. Just what you want on a piece of wheat toast instead of a rubbery yellow center.
