Griswold -> Why? (6/18/2008 6:30:24 PM)

Why?

It's a fair question (I'm certain of it).

Why?  How come?

Why do Philly Cheese sandwhiches taste like shit when you're not in Philly?  I've been in Times Square, I went and got a Philly Cheese Steak sandwhich...and it tasted like shit.

How come when I open a can of mixed nuts, the Brazil nuts are on top?
  (Someone explain that....please).

How come I never have enough time?

(I think those are fair questions).

why does frozen coffee get sticky?

i dunno about your questions but i tried making coffee cubes for my iced coffees and they came out sticky.




snappykappy -> RE: Why? (6/18/2008 6:38:35 PM)

probably from the separation of the coffee oil or tar when frozen it separates




fluffyswitch -> RE: Why? (6/18/2008 6:40:08 PM)

oh well that makes sense. it was something i read about in a magazine. they taste okay so shrug.




christine1 -> RE: Why? (6/18/2008 6:40:30 PM)

oh great Gris, now i'm gonna have to go buy a can of mixed nuts just to see if the brazil nuts are on top....

It was covered on Scientific American Frontiers but it's also covered in physicsworld.

Oh, god...

If you shake mixed sizes of stuff, the smaller pieces tend to fall into the interstices formed by the larger pieces. With more shaking, the larger pieces end up migrating toward the top as the smaller ones work their way underneath. But this is a good thing in a power outage, since you can light the Brazil nuts like little candles.

And you never have enough time because... (I'll just stop there).

'cause the coffee bits get in the way of the water bits and make it harder to form ice crystals. Kinda like having sex on a beach when all of a sudden some dude wanders by and decides to stop and watch. Sorta keeps that coupling thing from going all the way. At least for me. Duh.

Now my brain hurts. Again.

You, a good looking babe can't find a Mistress?  (I'm fucked).

I blame myself.

Yes, it is a fair question. That is the reason it has been the entirety of my profile for a while now.

I think it might have to do with the air. I cannot say for certain, but I do believe the air in Philly has a much different, um... quality... to it than the air in NYC or any where else. This is not to say that the air in Philly is bad, just different. The qualities of the air in Philly may mix with the sandwich elements during preparation to give it that unique and special flavor.

Of course, this is all simple speculation, but it makes sense to me.

In a word, settlement. When the can gets shaken during transport and handling, the smaller nuts fill the void between the larger ones. Since the Brazil nuts do not weigh a whole lot more than the smaller nuts, continued shaking of the can will cause the smaller nuts to push the larger nuts out of the way.

You can do this yourself in a glass jar. Put some Brazil nuts in the bottom, then cover them with smaller mixed nuts. Gently jiggle or shake the jar and after a while, the Brazil nuts will rise to the top.

My explanation may be off base and without merit, but I've observed the stratification of nuts into layers via that experiment.

It is, and probably will be, one of the eternally unanswerable questions. While it may seem you man never have enough time I, as a counterpoint, seem to have way too much time.

I believe them to be and I hope my responses were fair and perhaps maybe even somewhat believable.

lol. it's okay i'm sitting here trying to come up with a way to describe polyamory so someone who just got out of high school will understand what i'm saying without actually using the word polyamory (it's a long story, there is a reason why i can't use that word specifically)...i've been sitting here for the past half an hour...

On another note.....

Who has ever eaten falalafalalafala....?

What the fuck is falafalafalflal anyways?  Is it like dirt mixed with sausage or something?  Some kind of Philly stuff that sits beside your eggs and toast?

Or maybe it's dirt, mixed with sausage with a smidge of some of kind of left over shit that NO ONE WOULD EVER FUCKING EAT.....(but then mixed with some kind of spice that makes dirt taste good)?

(I'm just asking....a West Coast kind of guy wondering what the fuck you East Coasters go through with that whole breakfast kind of falafalafalflal kind of thing.

(Truly, what is that stuff?).
