Saw an interesting segment on The Kitchen called Into It and Over It.
My favorite response was from Sunny. She's over people licking their
fingers to open plastic bags at the grocery store and she's into
making ice cubes out of booze so drinks aren't diluted with water when
the ice melts.

I'm into reinventing leftovers into completely new dishes (not just
reheating and serving the same thing again at the next meal)
and
I'm over everything bacon (except for the basics, of course).

What are you into and over?

Not just plastic bags but paper ones, and to turn the pages of
newspapers and books.
It's a really disgusting habit!

I agree with "dog eared" pages, because it affects *me*. I've found
that rubbing the plastic between thumb and finger is the most
effective way to open it (not sure why paper would be a problem).

> It's a really disgusting habit!

I don't understand why people are bothered by how others open their
own bags, but c'est la vie.

I recall an episode when a buddy and myself were shopping at a sprmkt.
I had an old "finger cot" in my pocket, left over from work. When we
came to the checkout stand, turns out the clerk was my buddy's female
cousin. Not thinking it a big deal, I asked the cousin if she would
dispose of my old "finger cot" in the trash. Having never seen a
finger cot, she thoughty it another kind of latex protection and being
totally disgusted by her cousin's pal (me!), she shrank back, not
touching the evil object, and loudly proclaimed to me, "You maggot!!".

Needless to say, everyone in line stared, my buddy exclaimed, "I can't
take him anywhere", and I shrank/skulked off to the car, totally
embarrassed. Made for a good laugh, later, though.

I had a friend who thought that's what they were. My orchestra teacher wore
one to school and word got back to my parents that Mr. B. was wearing a
rubber at school!

You gotta be kidding, I see people do that all the time, especially
with magazines in doctor's waiting rooms, that's why I bring my own
reading material, typically I bring a crossword puzzle magazine.

Not too many magazines in waiting rooms these days. People just use their
phones.

Really? There are lots of magazines in waiting rooms around here. In
the last 6 months or so, I've been in waiting rooms in a Doctor's
office, a dental hygienist, a dentist, a physiotherapist, and an eye
doctor. Lots of magazines - including some quite nice ones.

The magazines are many in the waiting rooms where I am, but I don't know if
people read them or not. They're usually stuff like People magazine, Time,
etc.

Around here cell phone use is not permitted in doctor's offices...
there are signs saying to go outdoors to use your phone... many
medical waiting rooms have cell phone signal jammers. Public pay
phones were in booths or behind a sound barrier... but cell phone
users are rude, they scream into their phone so annoy everyone around
them and who needs to hear their filthy language. I have no need to
use a phone when I'm not at home, in my entire life I used a pay phone
maybe 4 times... every cell phone conversation I've ever overheard is
nothing but inane gibberish with the foulest of language.

It's a really disgusting habit!
Graham

~~~~~~~
I have to admit that I am sometimes guilty of this "disgusting" habit...but
I fail to understand what is so disgusting about it since no one else has an
opportunity to use them after me. I always try to open plastic bags first
by rubbing my *dry* fingers and thumb together. Sometimes that will not
work and the only way I can open the plastic bag is to lick my finger. I
seldom do that with magazines or newspapers, but rare times when I do will
be for the same reason--the pages don't want to open. Note: these are
always my *own* magazines or newspapers. I never do it with items that
belong to someone else (or, worse, to a motel or doctor's office).

Why does she care? The people are opening those bags for their own use.
They're not standing around licking their fingers and handing out open
plastic bags to other people.

I should have read ahead as far as the bags go, but I think someone is just
looking for something to say with the ice cube thing. It's been said many
times with fruit juice ice cubes in punch etc. at any rate.

I would be more concerned about people picking things up and putting
them back down, especially baked goods. I figure that the rest of us
stand a much greater chance of catching someone else's cooties produce
and baked goods that have been manhandled than from the bag that someone
else put their stuff it.

I don't know about everyone else here, but I don't have much faith in
tongs. Sure, they save people from having to touch the items, but what
about the bacteria on the tongs from all the people handling them?

I've not really given tongs and bacteria any thought, but I really hate to
see a butcher handling meat without gloves.

Same thing holds true for fish. I haven't noticed any lack of gloves
when I buy meat (or fish) from Publix.

I think the meat and fish handlers will be okay without gloves, as long as they wash their hands before they eat.

There is a butcher shop near me that has wonderful meat, but...sometimes one
of the owners uses bare hands to grab the meat, and the other one always
wears gloves. They have wonderful olives and things like that that are
jarred, so if "barehands" is behind the counter, I don't buy meat. I think
it's disgusting.

Vodka won't freeze in a regular freezer. I think you could make, say,
vodka & orange juice and freeze that, but not straight booze.

Vodka and OJ together will semi-freeze to "slush." Mis half and half with 7-Up for

That one made me wonder. I know that apple jack is made by freezing hard
cider. The watery stuff freezes while the alcohol remains liquid. I
keep a bottle of vodka and a bottle of Akvavit in my freezer and it does
not freeze so I have a little difficulty understanding why someone
giving advice would suggest making boozicles.

I had the same reaction, but maybe they use liquid nitrogen and
stainless steel ice cube trays to do it. Whatever the technique, GZ
or JZ or whatever the Iron Chef's name is didn't bat an eyelash and
he's the bar tendering guru on that show.

But make zero sense if one likes their spirits straight up with water.
Fine whiskeys (Scotch, Bourbon, etc) should be drank with a bit 'o

I've seen plenty of people lick their fingers to open a plastic bag and then pick up and examine the veggies, only placing the most perfect ones in their bag. The rest are returned to the display, germs and all. It's a nasty and disgusting habit.

I never have seen that, but don't know why it would be necessary since the
bags are marked *open here* and come open easily without licking fingers.

Some don't open easily IME. I crunch them and they separate.
Finger licking seems to be a reflex action for some.

I remember by grandfather liking his fingers. It was as if he was
savoring the remnants of a wonderful feast. He actually made a bit of a
production of it and I tend to associate it with a great meal. My
younger brother is absolutely disgusted by finger licking.

The worse I saw was a woman using her fingers to select donuts at an in
store bakery rack, hold it to her nose to sniff it and then put it back.
I was stunned. It reminded me of a bratty girl in our neighbourhood
who used to to that at parties... sniff the food and out it back. It
disgusted me then and it disgusts me even more now.

I don't really understand why it would matter to her if someone licked their
fingers to open a plastic bag since it's their bag? Now, if they licked
their fingers and touched her bags, she would have a gripe coming. As far as
iced diluting a drink, it's not really a huge problem unless someone is
taking an hour or so to drink it.
