    Confused about food safety - food in pack

    You should contact the manufacturer about making a smaller portable size! I love my vacuum sealer. I store batteries, medications, all sorts of stuff. I even vacuum sealed my covid booster certificate since replacements are not available.

    Confused about food safety - food in pack

    I think you're asking if my house is that hot. You're right, the house is not quite as hot as outside, but still hot enough to soften butter in less than 10 minutes. I prefer to keep the house opened up during the day. There are fans, and I only use A/C for sleeping. Besides, I spend most of...

    Confused about food safety - food in pack

    I was also told, but can't say for certain it's true - that eggs from chickens which are fed hormones, etc. require refrigeration. Something about the chemicals changing the composition of the eggs.

    Confused about food safety - food in pack

    Right?! I take my butter out of the fridge and by the time I get the bread and ingredients out, the butter is soft enough to spread. Taking something out of the freezer for dinner - 30 minutes is plenty of time to thaw it. LOL! But now I'm getting off topic...

    Confused about food safety - food in pack

    It's been over 100 degrees here every day for the last couple of weeks, and that is the norm for April and May. My (natural) peanut butter literally pours out of the jar if I don't put it in the fridge.

    Confused about food safety - food in pack

    As others have said above, it depends on the time of year and where you are purchasing your products. I live in Mexico. I buy my eggs from the tienda down the block, in bags off the shelf. The locals feed their chickens only grain and natural growing feed. Plus they do not clean their eggs...

    Language tests !!??

    I read an article that farmers are planning to adopt the practice of Marshmallow Farming, which has become very profitable in the U.S. There is some talk of a new Pilgramallow Albergue where you can have a restful sleep on a maxima species of the puffy crop.

    Spending Time in the Pyrenees Mountains

    I'll do that, thank you.

    Spending Time in the Pyrenees Mountains

    This is only post-Camino related, so please let me know if I am out of scope. After my Camino ends, I would like to travel back to SJPP and then move around in the Pyrenees Mountains for a couple of weeks. My thoughts were to move between towns by bus/train/taxi and do day hikes from the town...

    For coffee addicts that like to walk early

    I also planned to take an immersion heater. I'm a coffee drinker, but if the weather is wet and/or cold, I will really enjoy a Chai tea while beginning my walk of the day. There's something about cold, wet and Chai that just naturally goes together - and makes me hope for some of those starts.

    Donkeys can be a nightmare - but what about goats??

    Where I live in Mexico, neighbors all around us have goats. They tie them out front to eat the grass in the street. At night we sit out back listening to all the "Ba-a-a-a's". Some nights we Baaa-a-a-a back at them and giggle... Absolutely Love goats :)

    Donkeys can be a nightmare - but what about goats??

    I feel a business idea coming on... "Camino Rent-A-Goat"...

    Has any pilgrim decided to move to Spain?

    A very good piece of advice. I have read that after 6 months, you are considered by Spain to be a Resident. So understanding what that means is very important. I am Canadian and live in Mexico. It was very different for me as a Canadian than for my American friends from a tax perspective, so...

    Has any pilgrim decided to move to Spain?

    I can't speak specifically about Spain, but I have moved to a different country that speaks a different language. For some the dream can quickly turn into living in the middle of everyone else's vacation. And it can be isolating if you don't speak the language, because it takes a long time to...
