I wonder if I grinded (ground) some baking soda in there, it would help?
I use uncooked rice when I need to clean my burr grinder.
Everybody dies, Tracey. Someone's carrying a bullet for you right now, doesn't even know it. The trick is to die of old age before it finds you.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

good daughter fail. Mom and I are back at her house, and while foraging in her overloaded fridge (my mom is a food hoarder) i pointed out that 3 of the 7 bags of shredded cheese were molding, two tubs of taboulleh are a month past date and smell terrible, and that perhaps having 6 avocados in the fridge might be excessive, since she doesn't actually cook or eat at home and i'm only here for 2 days. Plus storing not yet ripe avocados (and about a gallon of tomatoes) in the fridge pretty much kills the flavour.
Anywho, pointing out to your mom that her irrational food hoarding is wasteful? Bad idea. Now she's sulking and randomly yelling things down the stairs at me. I wanna go home and sleep in my queen sized bed with my kitties.
It's nice of her to stock up on foods i like, but all this produce in the winter? Makes me fell like i have to "clean up" her fridge into my tummy. Don't need that much acid, kthx.

awesome, i apologize for criticizing her and throwing away her food, and now she's criticizing how much "stuff" i have, because clearly the best response to deflect from her hoarding is to point out mine. But i know from prior experience that i if i point out "learned behaviours" i'll get hours of diatribe and i just can't handle that. *sigh* anyone able to airlift me out of Burke, VA for 38 hours?

Crap, I can't get out there before then. I've got a board meeting tonight and I've got to go over to Mom's on Wednesday before she leaves on her trip.

Thanks, billytea, now I can add "Marmot Mother" to my list of expletives.

Vortex, the two-year-old coffee is probably worth trying. I bet it's fine. Coffee loses flavor over time, but if it's been sealed that will have been minimized. As long as it doesn't smell rancid when you open it, go ahead and brew some up and see if it still tastes good.
