We have a place in Panama City that used to give you hunch punch at the drive thru. Now they give you the ingredients....Is that an adult beverage store?!
We used to have a "drive-thru" store here... They outlawed it when I was a kid. They had a sliding glass door (this was when I could ride in the front seat... I was only 3 or 4! haha) and you'd tell Mr Larry or Jay what you wanted and they'd go get it for you and pack it in your car. They always gave me a sucker or some bubble gum so I liked going to J's. (The name of the store)It's amazing how I didn't get my mother arrested. I would tell people about it. Like the movie store place after we went to J's... They're next door. They made me a customer for life though... Get 'em while they're young with candy. People tell me that I shouldn't share that my liquor store guys have known me since I was a toddler. I think it's funny! I might be ashamed if I actually had a problem or something.
However.... They outlawed it. My town also won't vote on Sunday sales. We still have a few dry counties around. People think I'm silly when I say I wish they still had the drive-thru, but it's not like they're handing you a beer to drink! They're putting it in the back seat or wherever for when you GET HOME.
We keep ours in the fridge too.They only say that on the food industry ones here. Always wondered about it soo I looked it up.
Apparently commercial mayo has all pasteurized ingredients so it's perfectly shelf safe. The reason they don't advertise that is because the risk of cross contamination is high with the jars and if that happens it is no longer self safe. The squirt bottles have such little risk of contamination they are technically self safe. ALSO commercial mayo is acidic (4.4pH) which is acidic enough to not allow the growth of mold and other bacteria. HOWEVER homemade mayo IS NEVER self safe!
The more you know
I will no longer throw my whole thing of mayo away when I accidentally leave it on the counter until my next meal. I will however still keep it in the fridge. It's just one of those things.. it's socially known to keep it in the fridge so we do. Here we also do not let butter sit out at all unless you're getting it to room temp to cook or serve.
My roommate (You know the Zimbabwean, British, Greek one?) used to just leave hers out all the time. I do know what a french butter dish is and I've wanted one for many years.
sounds like trouble!We would typically stay home, but we got invited to a crazy party so we're driving the roadster 2 hours tomorrow, we'll crash on an air mattress somewhere sometime, then drive home Sunday.
probably best.... No wonder you guys have a reputation. GeezWe have a place in Panama City that used to give you hunch punch at the drive thru. Now they give you the ingredients....
Yes. Most people go out of town. The beach is a VERY popular destination. I'm a property manager at the beach and this is our business/biggest weekend. Granted we are fully booked all summer but.... this is typically the peak of the season. Scallop season usually kicks off this weekend and even locals come in and enjoy. However, as some of the others know scallop season has run into troubles this year. They were going to cancel it, but they decided to shorten it instead. It doesn't start until late August now. Not sure if you're asking us individually or just generally.. Since it's been the theme to ask of different customs I'm going with a general. I know a lot of my neighbors that have work the rest of the week are headed to the river for the day.Almost time for bed here - we've just watched the Wales v Belgium football match (yawn from me!)
I hope you all have a great long weekend planned? Do you traditionally see family/go away/stay home?
Hellmans. In a pinch Dukes. Used to like kraft but for some reason I dont anymore. Just like I grew up on Parkay butter but cant stand the stuff now. I also grew up drinking Pepsi. Dang yanks...Sounds delicious !
I too put mayo on my eggs
And fish
And meatloaf
Preferred Hellmas over Kraft
Not looking forward to that. Wish I didn't know. Probably would make it easier.We usually shot off $500 worth of fireworks. Not this year though, hanging at USO. It rained for a couple of hours when this afternoon so I took a nap after a week with extended family. Rode Kong and my youngest got to ride Spider-Man and Simpsons for the first time. Finally hit 40" and he loved the rides. He laughed at the scareactor in Kong. He will be my HHN buddy when he gets older. I can already tell.
The scareactors in KongWhat am I missing?
Not looking forwArd to that you posted ?
Going to the parks??
FWIW-I keep my salted butter on my counter. And the REAL maple syrup in fridge. the cheap pancake syrup is shelf stable. Fake food usually is. Also will keep newly laid eggs on counter for days if I am planning to use them within a week. Perfectly safe with my unwashed eggs-the bloom protects the eggs. The kids kiss and handle the chickens all the time and are rarely sick(and then it is respiratory stuff).
