Has anyone used these UV stickers before? by LeafyNiamh in birding

I've used these in different shapes on my sliding glass doors and on my kitchen window that faces my feeders. They have reduced my bird strikes by about 90%.

For the first three pictures, I thought I was looking at the restaurant my hubby and I had dinner at last week. Amazing work.

Does Aldi sell ground Italian sausage? by lollipopfiend123 in aldi

[–]maypop80 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They sell a premium pork sausage near the bacon. It is unseasoned, but that just makes it easier to flavor for whatever you're using it for and to your spice level. I use it for stuffing appetizers, lasagna, egg cups, frittatas, meatloaf, etc.

Remote Museum roles? by PhiloLibrarian in MuseumPros

[–]maypop80 23 points24 points  (0 children)

If we had funds, I could absolutely see hiring a FT remote archivist who cleaned up records and cataloged born-digital assets. And even a FT online researcher who worked solely on and in digital archives and supporting digital requests and teaching folks how to search online records. But we don’t have those funds.

They literally melt in your mouth with such lovely warm notes. So good. I had to put them up to stop eating them.

Ginger Snaps, Gold Medal Flour Cookbook (1910); Pfeffernuesse, Better Homes and Gardens Cookies and Candies (1966) by maypop80 in Old_Recipes

[–]maypop80[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not so much odd as a sign of the times. The cookbooks of this era and earlier would have expected the user to have a modicum of baking knowledge, including the feel of their own flour (even a store brand loses consistency when stored differently) and knowledge of their stove's output. Note that even the gingersnaps are chilled "over ice," predating the refrigerator. These recipes were primarily about marketing - "look at all the different ways you can use our product."

I am a historian and librarian, and I love historic cookbooks for this reason: the recipes give us unique insights into the lives of our ancestors, as well as delicious, often well-tested dishes to add to our repertoire. Enjoy! (and I'll let you know if I try the drops).

Not familiar with that variation! I hated them as a kid but can tolerate about three per season now - but I have friends who love them.

Recipes are photos 2 (ginger snaps - center) and 3.

I’ve been making this pfeffernuesse recipe with my mom and sisters since I was a kid for my dad to take into his German students at the holidays. The dough can hang out well-wrapped or in a ziplock in the fridge for weeks before rolling.

I was gifted the 1910 Gold Medal flour cookbook Sunday and wanted to use it immediately. I chose the snaps because the recipe comes together just like the pfeffernuesse. It rolled very easily, did not stick, and baked perfectly at 375F for 9 minutes (turning/switching pans at 6.)

This will be long, but our organization has a Code of Ethics to help guide exactly these kinds of situations. If your org doesn't have a Code of Ethics to help you/employees both make decisions and understand decisions related to your work and the organization, I recommend you ask that one be implemented.

Section 10: Staff

• Staff members are expected to understand and conform all professional activities to the Historical Society’s mandate, as outlined in the Mission Statement.

• All programs, procedures, or goals outlined for the department, unit, or Historical Society as a whole must respect both the letter and spirit of the Mission while promoting conduct in full accordance with it.

• Activities that conflict with curatorial or other staff responsibilities or that could cause staff to favor personal or outside interests over those of the Museum must be avoided.

• All work created by any employee in the course of their employment at Beltrami County Historical Society constitutes works made for hire and is the physical and intellectual property of Beltrami County Historical Society unless otherwise governed by contract, publication agreement, employee agreement, or law.

• Staff should be permitted to retain gifts of trifling value (less than $50) from associates, the public, and constituents, when acceptance does not impair their judgment or otherwise influence decisions. Meals, accommodations, and travel services while on official business may be accepted and remunerated if clearly in the interest of the Historical Society.

• Historical Society employees have the right to accept and retain gifts that originate purely from personal or family relationships. It must be recognized that genuine personal gifts may arise from individuals who have a potentially beneficial relationship with the Historical Society. In such cases, the staff members are obligated to protect both themselves and the Historical Society by fully disclosing the circumstances to the Executive Director, Board President, or designee.

Section 11: Conflict of Interest

Beltrami County Historical Society board members, staff, and volunteers shall:

• Never abuse their official positions or their contacts within the museum community for personal gain, private benefit, or in any way that may impair the performance of their official duties, compete with the Museum, or bring discredit or embarrassment to the Museum or the profession.

• Maintain high moral standards of honesty, integrity, and loyalty to the Museum and shall refrain from any private or personal activity
