I hope you were/are able to resist. I know that feeling, though I don't usually notice the build up to a binge, it just happens...I was kind of frustrated. I could really feel the tension build up inside. Then I realized it was building up to an excuse for a binge. And somehow I managed to just pop the tension bubble. Fingers crossed it won't regrow later today.
Does canned stuff that still has a vacuum ever go bad? If it smells good I eat it, probably stuff at least this old. But I am no expert, just managed to get by with a minimum of food poisoning so far.One of them was a jar of Mirabell plums I made at least 8 years ago. There was still a vacuum and they smelled lovely so throwing them out hurt my heart but I did it anyway...
I agree it is an interesting thing. I don't believe in the supernatural, however I know from experience that the voodoo curses and the like in Louisiana are real. Its pretty well documented that voodoo can cause illness and even death. I am sure it's all psychogenic as you say, but real none the less. It also explains the much more common placebo effect of many treatments and drugs, I think that happens to all of us now and then.Sorry about derailing the topic a bit but it is interesting how from a certain point of view, such a thing as "psychogenic symptoms" don't really exist because they are felt in the body and measurable. This is exactly how people who believe in curses or God's retribution or black magic can really die from "the evil eye" - I think it would be a fascinating research topic to examine what cultural beliefs we hold that to us feel logical but are far from that.
I trust professionally canned stuff pretty far beyond the best by date but my own? Maybe I'll have a try next time...Does canned stuff that still has a vacuum ever go bad?

Thank you! Should've seen that before I went grocery shopping... I wasn't hungry. I wasn't sad or bored. I was tired (should've napped) and my stomach was a little irritated but I think it was mostly decompressing Saturday habit.I’m crossing all my fingers and toes for you.
Guess I am the opposite. After my grandmother died I kept a case of her fig preserves around for many years, a nice reminder of her. Opened them one at a time over at least 12 years, never a problem.I trust professionally canned stuff pretty far beyond the best by date but my own?
Let us know if you get botulism or anything...Maybe I'll have a try next time...
That really made me laugh!Oh, I'd definitely trust my mom's preserves! I think botulism makes the can/lid bulge a bit from thebextra pressure so that should be avoidable. Probably no chance to let you know if I do get it though: maybe I'll just tell you I'll be trying something dicey beforehand so if I never come back you'll know why.
To me müsli is a catch-all term for any mixture of oats (and/or other rolled grains), nuts/seeds, milk/water, and fruit, dried or fresh. I assume in the US you'd mean what we call Bircher Müsli? That would be overnight oats, probably in milk, grated apple, raisins and hazelnuts/walnuts/almonds. Starting with cold milk/water your grains don't soak up very much water and the mixture stays kind of grainy. Start out with hot liquid and it gets way more homogenous.I wonder how they get the grains the right consistency though.
I am sure your mother's preserves are fine. My theory is that so long as the vacuum remains and the lid is tight there should have been no bacterial growth and its probably ok. Worked out so far.Oh, I'd definitely trust my mom's preserves! I think botulism makes the can/lid bulge a bit from thebextra pressure so that should be avoidable.
What is a McPlant?Considered trying the McPlant
Its not a term used so much here, I think it just refers to some brands of cereal, kind of exotic... You peaked my interest so I looked it up, sounds good I may give it a try. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MuesliTo me müsli is a catch-all term for any mixture of oats (and/or other rolled grains), nuts/seeds, milk/water, and fruit, dried or fresh.

Same. I generally stick to the trails anyway and they're rarely bad enough to need boots. Boots are so much more restrictive, warm, and heavy.My new Merrell Moabs make such a difference to my daily walks that I have been adding more distance & heading into the bush more. I think I much prefer hiking shoes to boots.
Good shout, thanks.Remember you can meditate if the weird schedule is making you feel anxious, too.
That would be mediterranean brands then. European size doesn't say anything about width but it's generally northern European brands that are wider and southern European ones that are narrower. I don't stand a chance with Italian or Spanish shoes.I need to get European sizes with my extra narrow heals.
