    When did moist become a bad word? I feel like some comedian in the 90s said it was weird, and everyone just latched onto that idea. Because when I was growing up (born in 1970), all the commercials for cake mixes couldn't go on about how moist their cakes were. It was the moist important quality!

    • @SpaceBearEngineer

      From what I've read there doesn't appear to be any one event. Words just change in meaning over time. Once upon a time the word "man" meant "human" and the words for "male human" and "female human" were "wereman" and "wifman", but over time that all changed. "Moist" seems to just be increasingly associated with bodily functions with each generation. Eventually I could imagine it becoming an exclusively anatomical word or another term for bodily fluids.

    • @shannondore

    My mother grew tons of zuccini in her garden. We always had zuccini bread, zuccini relish, zuccini this, zuccini that. In 2000 she brought a jar of zuccini relish her mother canned to my house. Grandma died in 1971. At least 29 years old...🤮. I asked if it was still good. My mother cracked it open and ate a spoonful of it. She said yes, it is still good.

    Eventually they will stop laying, when winter comes on.
    For next year - To keep your chickens laying, you should put an auto light in your hen house. Make it so that it goes off around 9pm. That will trick the chickens into thinking it is daytime longer. Then they will lay year round.

    Usually you wanna combine your fat and sugar, till the sugar dissolves. Then add your eggs to that until they become pale and foamy. wheat comes last and should only be folded in, so you don't develop gluten and turn it into bread.
