Anyone know of a trick to keep your glasses from fogging up while double masking? Single mask I'm okay but double mask on the train and then going outside is horrible. I end up carrying my glasses.

I was told that if you put liquid soap on the glasses and then wipe it off instead of rinsing it with water will keep them from fogging up, but I haven't tried it myself. I put my glasses over the bridge of my nose, on top of the mask, to reduce the amount of exhaled air escaping.

Tomatoes lose their taste in the fridge. That’s why they say that.

But.....why would you want to taste them anyway? Tomatoes are disgusting! Unless they are cooked in something, like spaghetti sauce!

Eggs don't go in the fridge .

Okay, so according to my aunt who has chickens...

Unwashed eggs don't go into the fridge. Just leave em out, you can keep them good for a very long time.

Once you wash an egg, you have to refrigerate it or eat it because then you risk food-bourne illness if you don't. The kinds you buy in the grocery store are washed, so those should be refrigerated.

Don't kill the messenger.

Oh look, I found my people.

I got this bowl thingy from Panera yesterday because my stomach was all upset and Panera's the only thing that will calm it sometimes (don't ask me why). My mom was like, why are you picking out the tomatoes.

Because, tomatoes belong cooked on something. In a quesadilla, on pizza, in a sauce (and even then, I don't like chunks of tomato). They don't belong randomly hanging out in something.

If it's on a sandwich, I won't pick it off, but I also don't go out of my way to put it on either.

Dh and I may have said that once or 20 times

Fingers crossed you get plenty.

Why do some buy up all the milk and eggs before a storm? If the power goes out those items would not hold up . I've seen some fill up the grocery carts beyond overflowing and I know some are in panic buying mode.

or as I call it, my weekly shopping

Is that a Guernsey thing? We've always refrigerated eggs in the carton. Are we wrong? Probably . . .

Edit to add -- Figgy says I'm not supposed to refrigerate tomatoes, either.

It's a European thing. On this side of the pond eggs are washed before sale and washed before using on that side of the pond. There's a whole science behind it

A metal clip pinched to the nose works from what I hear

I've tried to teach myself it is better to go food shopping on a full stomach. Not too much impulse buying when I'm not hungry.

It's a European thing. They are much smarter than the average Yank and realise you wash eggs before using them .

What’s going to go bad in 30 degree weather?

When I was on my 4 year trek around the USA (staying with my cat at Red Roof Inns, most of which did not have refrigerators) I used to leave perishables in the car overnight to keep.

Then again, I also warmed things with a heating pad. #macgyver

Have you ever had fresh tomatoes straight from the garden or farm? Those are excellent. The gassed carp in the supermarket I actually buy very few tomatoes out of season
