A Few Handy Little Tips to Make Life Easier
- Take your bananas apart when you get home from the store. If you leave them connected at the stem, they ripen faster.
- Store your opened chunks of cheese in aluminum foil. It will stay fresh much longer and not mold.
- Peppers with 3 bumps on the bottom are sweeter and better for eating. Peppers with 4 bumps on the bottom are firmer and better for cooking
- Add a teaspoon of water when frying ground beef. It will help pull the grease away from the meat while cooking
- To really make scrambled eggs or omelets rich, add a couple of spoonfuls of sour cream, cream cheese, or heavy cream.
- For a cool brownie treat, make brownies as directed. Melt chocolate mint patties in a double broiler and pour over warm brownies. Let set for a wonderful minty frosting.
- Peel a banana from the bottom and you won't have to pick the little "stringy things" off of it. That's how the primates do it.
