@Bracken_Joy From a culinary perspective “processed” just means “not in its natural state”. Homemade bread is processed. Anything you are eating that is not just, raw, is processed to some degree. Colloquially usually people take processed to mean “not real food” so foods that have lots of unpronounceable ingredients. By that standard I don’t think prepackaged ground meat with seasoning counts, except perhaps for the natural flavors.
As far as what counts as sausage: yes, I would say ground or finely chopped meat that has been seasoned counts!
Why isn’t a burger considered sausage if it’s also ground meat and spices? The real answer to this and other similar questions (fruit v vegetable, is a hot dog a sandwich?, etc.) is that these things seem inconsistent because food terms were created in real time by normal people across many cultures. They are inconsistent. There are only more turtles beneath these turtles.
That’s why the same fish has so many f-ing names in different cook books too, and why the same cuts of meat have different names, why we eat some animals and not others, what we cook vs eat raw, etc. Culinary history did not begin (and still doesn’t primarily live) in academia, unlike many other subjects. That’s why there is no taxonomy for types of foods! Food is of the people not the few, so it contains all types of contradictions and idiosyncrasies, which is part of what I love so much about it!
Besides, any attempt to create a taxonomy of dishes/foods would no doubt result in endless arguments because people feel so strongly about food. If you would like to test this theory I advise you find an elderly Italian woman and tell her that her meatballs are technically sausage. Bring ear plugs.
Ok smart people - methods of getting oil out of polyester? Is it hopeless?
I got bar and chain oil (for my chainsaw) on my parka… my only parka. (I’d ideally like to not buy another one until they go on sale in the spring, but it’s super obvious.)
I couldn’t do it during the day because it has been around freezing recently and I needed to wear the coat during the day today (a lot of outdoor tasks that could not wait) so unfortunately it is dried now so I don’t think chalk or baking soda are out, and I am not sure at this point if soap will even work. I need to go outside one more time for my dogs bathroom break before bed, and I can try it then and hope it dries before the morning when I need it again. I don’t have another warm enough coat, so best I can do. I don’t know if it will work. The timing was very bad for this to happen.
Soap and stuff still works really well as long as you don’t heat it! Treat and wash and avoid hot dryers and stuff, I’ve had oil marks come out of shirts after 2-3 wash and treat attempts.
I wasn’t going to dry in the dryer, that’s why I am hoping it will dry overnight (also I suspect heat will ruin it anyway? IDK, I need to look at the tags, it’s probably low heat or no heat to dry), but anyway that’s good to know!!!
I only have Mrs Meyers and some old sensitive skin Palmolive on hand, but maybe I will just go get Dawn tomorrow, I have to go out anyway.
With the added bonus of now 1000% increase in flammability!
Truthfully I thought about Dawn because everyone says Dawn is the best, but I didn’t have any Dawn and I didn’t want to go out and buy it if it 100% wouldn’t work.
I will buy the Dawn. It’s cheaper than a new parka, right? If not, I am only out $3 or whatever…
I’ve been using OpenOffice Calc for a decade to do all my financial spreadsheets. My main file has tons of info that I don’t have elsewhere and need for my taxes and stuff. As of last night the program is crashing and refusing to open and generally freaking out. Is there another program that will open a .ods file that is maybe a little less antique? Or is there some other way of doing this? I don’t mind a whole new program, provided I can get my info out of the old spreadsheet.

Damn what a dare. Note to self: do not play truth or dare with AllHat.
