| So, Mary, my battery
has almost ran out. I'm so glad you had some but they're cold. Well, I keep them in my frigerator along with several other sizes of batteries just so I have them on hand. It's a little quirky habit of mine but I always like to have backup whenever I need it so I've got into the habit of stock piling batteries and keeping them in the fridge. Well, it's very practical but why do you keep them in the frigerator? I read somewhere a long time ago that that's how you extend the life of batteries by keeping them cool, that and film too so I also have several canisters of film in there, too, no room for the butter but. Do you have any food in your frigerator? Some but it's mostly batteries and film. What kind of food do you keep in your frigerator? Right now because it's winter time, I have some oranges and actually some grapes and things so those are kind of coveted at this time of year, otherwise just the standard things. I have yogurt, milk, and some bread and I think six brusselsprouts. Just six. Just six. |
Why do you have brusselsprouts? Just got in the habit of eating them. They're really very good, so I thought well I'll keep on, just handfuls so they don't spoil. How so you prepare your brusselsprouts? Um, I steam them for about 10 minutes or so and eat them just perfectly plain, a little salt and a little pepper, that's about it. Really, I find them a little bitter. I find them a little bitter too, but the longer you steam them the bitterness kind of goes away and of course there's ways you can dissipate the bitterness with a little bit of butter or salt or seasonings too, so they're not so bad. Well, I'll have to try that. |
