Halloween plus Carbon Dioxide Generators

Hello loyal follower(s)




Halloween eve was spent in Mesquite Nevada, where we had a great meal and Cyndy played the slots for a few hours.

I found a comfortable spot to read while Cyndy played the slots.








Cyndy was off to play in a symphony concert for Halloween.  It was a concert designed around  child musicians.   Costumes were required,  thus you see at the right gypsy Cyndy.




Today I must make some pizza dough for tomorrow's pizza night.



Also I want to repeat the directions for  making:



Carbon Dioxide Generator


First from the Oct-Nov issue of Cook's illustrated was  suggestion from Tom Clark from Noblesville Ind.  He suggested creating a carbon dioxide generator to help extend the shelf life of greens such as lettuce. Just exhaling into a bag of lettuce was not sanitary. The people at Cook's Illustrated followed through and developed a neat CO2 generator.


White vinegar and baking soda and of course a small container was all that was necessary to create a CO2 generator for extending refrigerator life of greens.


Three pieces of paper towel and a rubber band to top off the generator, yet allow the gas to escape into the plastic bag containing the greens.

Baking soda acted as the trigger.

CO2 Generator:   First freeze 1 teaspoon of vinegar in the bottom of the 2-3 ounce container.  Then sprinkle 1 teaspoon baking soda over the frozen surface of the vinegar. Lastly seal the top with the three layers of paper towel and a rubber band.  Store in the freezer until you need it.

À bientôt.
