How to ell when you food is spoiled

Sorry I just had to show you this list. On this site you an find other good list.

THE GAG TEST
Anything that makes you gag is spoiled (except for leftovers from what you cooked for yourself last night).

EGGS
When something starts pecking its way out of the shell, the egg is probably past its prime.

DAIRY PRODUCTS
Milk is spoiled when it starts to look like yogurt. Yogurt is spoiled when it starts to look like cottage cheese. Cottage cheese is spoiled when it starts to look like regular cheese. Regular cheese is nothing but spoiled milk anyway and can't get any more spoiled than it is already. Cheddar cheese is spoiled when you think it is blue cheese but you realize you've never purchased that kind.

MAYONNAISE
If it makes you violently ill after you eat it, the mayonnaise is spoiled.

FROZEN FOODS
Frozen foods that have become an integral part of the defrosting problem in your freezer compartment will probably be spoiled (or wrecked anyway) by the time you pry them out with a kitchen knife.

EXPIRATION DATES
This is NOT a marketing ploy to encourage you to throw away perfectly good food so that you'll spend more on groceries. Perhaps you'd benefit by having a calendar in your kitchen.

MEAT
If opening the refrigerator door causes stray animals from a three-block radius to congregate outside your house, the meat is spoiled.

BREAD
Sesame seeds and Poppy seeds are the only officially acceptable "spots" that should be seen on the surface of any loaf of bread. Fuzzy and hairy looking white or green growth areas are a good indication that your bread has turned into a pharmaceutical laboratory experiment.

FLOUR
Flour is spoiled when it wiggles.

LETTUCE
Bibb lettuce is spoiled when you can't get it off the bottom of the vegetable crisper without Comet. Romaine lettuce is spoiled when it turns liquid. (We didn't think you needed guidance with this one)

CANNED GOODS
Any canned goods that have become the size or shape of a softball should be disposed of.
Carefully.

CARROTS
A carrot that you can tie a clove hitch in is not fresh.

RAISINS
Raisins should not be harder than your teeth.

POTATOES
If it looks like it is ready for planting, toss it.

CHIP DIP
If you can take it out of its container and bounce it on the floor, it has gone bad.

EMPTY CONTAINERS
Putting empty containers back into the refrigerator is an old trick, but it only works if you live with someone or have a maid.

UNMARKED ITEMS
You know it is well beyond prime when you're tempted to discard the Tupperware along with the food. Generally speaking, Tupperware containers should not burp when you open them.

GENERAL RULE OF THUMB
Most food cannot be kept longer than the average life span of a hamster. Keep a hamster in or nearby your refrigerator to gauge this

Mexico monkey business

My newest addtion to the blog family:

Mexican monkey business is fully dedicated to my master thesis, travel and rest of my Mexico adventure.

Seriously

I just got my Ipod nano back after handing it in to be looked at. Have not been happy with the battaries in it.

They didn't find anything wrong with it so had to pay 350 sek for it. Not a problem as long as it works properly. Gonna use it today so plug it into my computer to charge the batteries and they have reformatted it for me for MAC. For a MAC my computer is a WINDOWS and whenI handed it in it was formatted for WINDOWS.

Have now spent the last halfohour adding the music I had on it!!

Seriously if you are going to reformat it refomat it right!!!!!!!

Colourful heels part 2

I had a craving for these heels for ages and since I'm not three apples tall I needed another solution. Yes I know I have a couple of coloured heels in my shoe closet but its spring then you need bright colours.

I bought a pair of white pumps on sale & spray painted them brihgt yellow for a dress up party (Sorry din't have time to take a before picture). realized as soon as they were put on that these will be awsome for spring (when ever it arrives).

I just have to get the hell back on and repaint them. Turns out they weren't dry enough when I had to wear them (Oops).
No happy thought that the rubber heels fell of after about 2 hrs of wearing indoors. If I hadn't painted them I would have gone back with them even if they were on sale that is not ok.

Story of my life: Packing -Yet again

I have come up with the perfect titel for my Autobiography:

Packing - Yet again!


I have lost count these last months when I tell people that I have to pack. The best times are when I have to pack in the packing (Ie going away while away).

Living in a suitcase could be another suitable titel

Five things

I know I know I'm not coherrent with my five things a week. It all depends on what time I have to publish posts (my never ending excuse).

My Five things this week goes in the zoo theme.

First having lectures and dinner with the people that are the reason I got into my area is just amazing.

Knee deep in snow looking a enclosures. I sompletely misjudged of far down the actual ground was....

Blowing immobilizing darts. Not my blowing session (they were in a straight line starting at hoof and ending on top of animal. ie aim is good, blowing technique is not.

Ending the week with a summery cocktail: Apple bacardi, strawberry vodka, granade apple and sprite (drank it before I had time to take a picture).

Dexter theme in the Kitchen: Granade apple and a bleeding wound in the hand made it all a little surreal.

A perfect day

I love my life.

Today I have just had the perfect day at uni. Staring out with some interesting lectures by great people and then after lunch heading out into the park with the veterinarians to examinate and immobilize different animals.

I have attended:

immobilization of a myskoxe where he got his feet trimmes, weighed and blood samples collected.
immobilozation of addax antilope where there was a castration and horn plastering
eye examination of an african male lion after a fight

huh

I think I had to much dinner.
Laying in the couch and digesting my dinner. In the mood for a cold glass of white wine though

?

Just wondering how rich are unistudents now adays?

We have an offer of free accommodation for 4 weeks instead of commuting 2 hrs a day.

We are five students using the offer. Yhea sure the standard is like a not to gran backpackers, but with rooms, you can lock, ok bathrooms (except the leaking roof) and fully equipped kitchen.

Hey I will save my money and stay here

Play time in the stairs

Christams gift

I am the best at streching out birthdays and christams gifts. I think this is the last christmas gift, but I know its not the last birthday gift. There is atleast one more out there.

My dear friend Ia send me this as a combined christmas/ birthday gift (yours is almost in the mail honey).




A lovely bambi necklace, I did switch the chain though since the original liked to get caught in all my knitted jumpers. Check out the adorable box the necklace came in.




A cute T-shirt

Moonshine prize

I was never even close to winning any of the competitions during our golfholiday. But I did manage to get the moonshine price for my cheerful spirits and never giving up. As I have mentioned before I still don't have my official handicap (36) still on 36+.

I won a golf towel- In desperate need of this and also a bookmark in papyrus with the hieroglyfh alaphabet on.

Egyptian shopping

I did a little shopping in Egypt.

A scarft in 100% Egyptian cotton. I have never felt anything so soft on my skin, EVER!

Dygnkåt och hur helig som helst

Dyngkåt och hur helig som helst
by: Mia Skäringer

This is one of the books that I recieved for christmas. I'm sad to say that i'm not to impressed by the book. Sure it was easy to read and I finished it within two days (a 5½hr flight included), but no this was not my cup of tea.

The book consists of individual columns and blogg posts and I don't like that. I want my stories the page turning, dreaming away into my own world that I create from the story in the pages written. Hence I only give this book a two.

page count: 168

Books 2010

So the year is over and its time to sum of the book year.

The totale page count ended on : 7 132 + (64 + 5+ 45+ 54= 168 books not yet finished) = 7 300

My top five books read were:

1. Vampire Diaries- Book 1- The Awakening
2. Dr. Tatianas Sex advice to all creation
   
3. The short second life of Bree Tanner
   
4. A short history of nearly everything
   
5. Fjäril vingad/ Stranger on a train
   

The starting pile for next year looks as good as it did last year. But even this year I have a couple of dark clouds haning over me that I need to finish. Quite a big pile this time actually.

• In a sunburned country (page:0 )- I don't know why, but I get so homesick and depressed when reading this book that I'm almost crying

• Förflutenhetens landskap (Page: 276)- It shall be completed one day
  
• The origin of Species (page: 5)- Time, I need time.
  
• Wuthering Heights (page: 22)- book two that I read at work

Golf swing

Look at the beautiful swing and ehm stance

Duty free

I did some duty free shopping while traveling:

New mascara. Like it better than my old one, but still not sure. Its tear proof that is for sure, but feels a little weak, hard to layer.

Facial cleansing kit: Tried Kihels this time. After a week and a half its love in the air. Especially the deodorant (will give that one its own post)

Alcohol: Absolut special edition bottle

Oh and with the facial cleansing kit I got a new makeup bag. My pink night out ended up in the bin after 6 (7?) faithful years with me.

My egypt

These three pictures describe my holiday perfectly:

Red flag (no swimming), Sand, sun, flowers, relaxation

Welcome 2011

May you bring my wishes and aspirations come true.

Unfortinately I don't see myself getting married on 11/11/11. But fingers crossed Mr Right cross my path during this year.

IN regards to career it will be on the shelf until 2012. Then I promise I will try to grow up and get a "real" life
