Clean up after cooking, even before meal time - which means I am eating cold food
I can't stand a dirty kitchen
I live in the UK and have never hung clothes outside to dry, I get really grossed out by the idea of it. I live in quite an urbanised area and just imagine dirt and grime blowing into the clothes.Slightly related but I am from UK and now live in Canada and outside clotheslines are not really a thing - I don't think I have ever seen one. They are considered "unsightly." Some neighbourhoods in the US have bans on them! Haha. Anyway, I miss the smell of washing hanging outside. Here, it is dryers (even in condos) or clothes on a clothes rack inside.
I have hung clothes our many times but don't now and haven't for many years, but I also thing this about dirt blowing around.I live in the UK and have never hung clothes outside to dry, I get really grossed out by the idea of it.

Haha I store eggs in the fridge and reason that they have the little tray with egg-size holes in so they go thereI am the same with butter, I keep enough for a couple of days in a butter dish at room temperature. Hate in restaurants (remember those?!) when they bring you out cold butter that you can’t spread.
I also have a long-standing petty bicker with my parents about whether eggs live in or out of the fridge... clearly the answer is out but they insist on in!
Any sauce you are adding to hot food like a ketchup should also be at room temperature before they go anywhere near my plate.
I’ve got better as I’ve got older but I’m not brilliant with different food textures touching each other... my idea of absolute hell is lasagne, why is all that stuff in a dish together?!
Depends where in the world you are, but in the UK and Europe the farming practice for eggs means no refrigeration is needed (low salmonella risk in the production process) whereas in the US the eggs are chemically treated and refrigerated and once they have been stored cold they shouldn’t be brought up to room temp... the little egg holders are US imports like baby showers and tacky HalloweenHaha I store eggs in the fridge and reason that they have the little tray with egg-size holes in so they go there.
I agree about different food textures though, beans on toast is an abomination.
Oh crikey, I thought I was the only person who liked to eat cold toast.Drinks have to be freezing cold or piping hot (depending on drink obviously!). I also don't drink draught drinks when out, has to be either a can or bottle....my exception is cider as I'm a big fan of a pint of Strongbow.
I also have to have my toast cold. I'll make it 10/15 mins before I want it to give it time to get to temperature. Butter soaking in gives me the boak![]()

Same here.Most folk who see me do it think I'm properly odd so I'm glad to find someone else who agrees!
I'm in the UK but I didn't realise that the egg holders were originally for people in the US because they need to store their eggs in the fridge. You learn something new every day!Depends where in the world you are, but in the UK and Europe the farming practice for eggs means no refrigeration is needed (low salmonella risk in the production process) whereas in the US the eggs are chemically treated and refrigerated and once they have been stored cold they shouldn’t be brought up to room temp... the little egg holders are US imports like baby showers and tacky Halloween
Long story short, it doesn’t harm you or the egg to do it in the UK but I find it makes them more prone to cracking when boiled and I do a lot of baking and need the eggs at room temp for that!
Omg me too except other way round, hate writing in black inkI can only write in black ink - blue makes my handwriting look awful
I have been known to waft my toast around in the air to hurry the process along. I only do this for real butter and marmite though. Spreadable butter and jam or marmalade can be a bit warm.Most folk who see me do it think I'm properly odd so I'm glad to find someone else who agrees!
Omg I can only write in blue! Black ink makes my handwriting look awfulOmg me too except other way round, hate writing in black inkused to carry a couple of blue pens in my backpack in case I ever needed one!
