 ML> Looking for something to store stuff in I stumbled on a
 ML> Ziploc Fresh Shield bag. Can someone tell me in what way
 ML> this is different from other Ziploc bags? And if it's
 ML> superior, why don't they make all such bags this way?

I think that it somehow blocks the released enzymes that help things
ripen (and thus over-ripen/rot) from what's within... particularly for
veggies, iirc...  I generally just buy the Wegmans freezer zip bags.

 ML> Speaking of which, I sent my brother a status e-mail at work:
 ML> I got some beef and made two things - pot roastish stuff
 ML> that is in foil and a spicy Chinese-style thing in a
 ML> Revereware. You may have as much of the former as you
 ML> wish, but I would prefer that you left me the bulk of
 ML> the latter.
 ML> When he came back he went looking for a Tupperware and
 ML> fussed mildly when he couldn't find one in the fridge.
 ML> Told me that I'd said Tupperware. The house to the best of
 ML> my knowledge has no Tupperware.

Revere, Tupper... same thing, no...?  ;)  But, wait, you said the thing
for him was in foil...  ;0   Does he share your hard-of-vision...?

 ML> Chivers Olde English Marmalade - Mild aroma, jellylike texture;
 ML> some rind and soft parts of orange; the bitterest and actually
 ML> most interesting of the lot. A-

Haven't ever seen that one.

 ML> Keiller's Dundee Marmalade (this being Scottish) - both the
 ML> sweetest and sourest, with little bitterness despite lots
 ML> of slivers of rind; thick and smooth except for that. B

That one I used to buy fairly regularly... haven't for years now,
though...  

 ML> Frank Cooper's Fine Cut Oxford Marmalade - fresher orange
 ML> rind flavor, somewhat grainy texture. Less sweet and in
 ML> fact (despite having 68% sugar and 30% orange, the other
 ML> 2% being citrate buffer and pectin) the least flavorful
 ML> of the three - pity as the aroma is very nice. C+

Won't bother looking for that one.. :)

 ML> Chivers gives Cambridge as its address of record;
 ML> interestingly, it is identified as an Irish company. The
 ML> other two claim Manchester (not Dundee or Oxford) as home.
 ML> The Internet yields that all three are now stablemates under
 ML> Premier Foods. Horrors - a marmalade monopoly in the UK.

Interesting.  :)

 ML> Next I suppose I should go find some Safeway stuff, which
 ML> the Shipps swear by.

Add that to the lineup, see how it compares... :)  It is nice stuff (I
think that's the one Dale gifted me with one year)...

 ML> Just one more day here, yay.

So now you are released again...?   ;)
