Also can you freeze cheese ?. Eggs - up to you. They'll keep a little longer when chilled, but eggs should really be used as fresh as possible, so why bother taking up fridge space? Just buy them when you need them. Cheese - freezing (then defrosting) can ruin the texture of some cheeses, particularly the harder ones.

Dunbar Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 I have two related facts (and I haven't read 353 pages to see if they have been mentioned before so apologies if they have). Now, initially it may seem interesting but bear with me. 1. I learned recently the astounding fact that due to the explosion in population over the last several decades that there are more human beings alive today than have ever died... i.e. that the majority of the human population that ever lived is alive today. Incredible when you think about it. 2. I more recently learned that number 1 isn't true.

Farmduck Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Pre-saving has been invented. I'm still trying avoid pre-ordering anything but today I learned you can pre-save. A YT video guy I watched has just released a new single and, even though it's not on Spotify yet, you can pre-save it there, presumably so that when it becomes available it will be added to your whatever. (Not a Spotify user so don't know what they call it. A rotation? A spotbag? A shopping trolley?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Futtocks Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Faith no more's album Angel Dust was released 30 years ago this month. I remember queuing up in HMV to get my copy of their previous album signed, so now I feel rather old. For the record, most of the band looked like they really didn't want to be there - Mike Bordin was the only one who smiled at me as he applied his illegible squiggle to the LP cover, so I have a soft spot for his drumming. 1 "We are easily breakable, by illness or falling, or a million other ways of leaving this earthly life.
