The Pantry: Is this Stuff Any Good?

Cleaning Out the Pantry or Fridge.

By Bryon Zirker

You wonder how long that jar of mayonnaise will last?
Lets see, if it is sealed, it will last indefinitely, however
the color and flavor of an opened jar of mayo in "the fridge"
will be affected after three months from its "purchase by"
date.


Maple syrup lasts around a year, while honey never
expires, hmmm! Salad dressing should not be used after
nine months, while olive oil will last up to two years from
the manufactured date. Tabasco sauce, five years if stored
in a cool, dry place, an opened bottle of soy sauce will start
deteriorating after three months.

You might want to go through and check those dates!

Cool Use for Airline Luggage Tags

Cool use of those Airline Luggage Tags

By Bryon Zirker

You know those super-sticky, obnoxious, hard-to-tear
tags that airlines put on your checked bags. Well here is
another use for them while you are traveling.

Use them to remove lint from your clothes if you forgot
a lint brush. Pull the two sticky sides apart and walla,
use them like a piece of tape.

You never know when you might wrestle a tiger in
India or ride camels in Dubai. Maybe the family or a
friends cat or dog is on the prowl.

About Dolphins and Whales

How About Dolphins and Whales

A Welsh scientist discovered that dolphins living
off of the coast of Ireland use a different "accent"
or "dialect" from those found near Wales.

Researchers believe different environmental
conditions might be contributing to the distinct
dolphin vocalizations, including thier whistles,
barks, and groans.

Scientists concurrently discovered that blue
whales by the Pacific Northwest sound different
than those by the Chilean coast.
