The kindest cut

Anyone ever cut their fruits or vegetables underwater? Scientists are
finding that it helps to keep it fresh longer by tricking the fruit

Florists have cut stems under water for years. The practice
originated in Japan.

What a coincidence! I actually saw a young man today in the produce section
of my grocery store cutting carrots into smaller sticks in a bin of cold
water! I wondered why he was doing that but just figured his boss told him
to 🙂

the kindest cut is a 9 or 11 bone rack of pork.

You should have joined us in the chat room last night! I finally
found out that's really what they call a bone-in pork loin roast up
there where he lives in the northern states.... er provinces.

I was asleep. :-)
Now that I'm working night shifts, I'm either at work that time of night
or sleep late on my days off. I'm still not used to working nights, so
tend to stay up WAY too late during the day and have been getting only
about 4 to 5 hours of sleep per day during the week.

I make up for it on weekends. Slept 12 hours last night!

Sounds like I missed an excellent chat.
Where is that channel again?????

The web interface is
http://www.penguinpowered.ca/~vexorg/pjirc/rec.food.cooking.html

You use IRC if I remember correctly, so someone else will have to tell
you which channel.

No, no IRC but I do have ICQ. That won't work for this. ;-)

I just went there and it's working. Crash and 3 other people are there
right now.

Thank you! I've bookmarked it and will organize the bookmark into the
"food" folder.

Do you boil them in the cutting water? Is that the Moosemeat Method?

That really does help make the flowers last longer. I've been doing
that for years.
