So every time we get bread it comes in a stretchy bag. However, once we pull it out of the freezer later the bag is noticeably more crinkly and brittle. Anyone know why this is? I can’t seem to find an answer to this phenomenon anywhere.

Some animals sing (birds, whales) and plenty of animals make sounds together at roughly the same time (wolves howling, prairie dogs yelling at threats). Are there animals that harmonize? Or animals that make sound that’s rhythmically coordinated, like has a time signature?...

Or toast.

on most sausages, I’m putting dijon mustard, but it just doesn’t hit right on these Portuguese ones. i like to eat it cold, on a baguette, or a really good sausage roll (not the UK meaning, just like a hot dog bun but for sausages)...
