Anther pass on from dad:
- 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 mould!
- 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; then beat them.
- Add garlic immediately to a recipe if you want a light taste of garlic and at the end of the recipe if your want a stronger taste of garlic.
- Reheat leftover pizza in a nonstick skillet on top of the stove; set heat to med-low
And heat till warm. This keeps the crust crispy. No soggy micro pizza.
- Put cooked egg yolks in a zip lock bag. Seal; mash till they are all broken up Add remainder of ingredients (not listed), reseal, keep mashing it up mixing thoroughly, cut the tip of the baggy; squeeze mixture into egg. Just throw bag away when done - easy clean up.
- To warm bread biscuits, pancakes, or muffins that were refrigerated, place them in a microwave next to a cup of water. The increased moisture will keep the food
moist and help it reheat faster.
- Use a wet cotton ball or Q-tip to pick up the small shards of glass you can't see easily.
- Pin a small safety pin to the seam of your slip and you will not have a static/clingy skirt or dress. Same thing works with trousers that cling when wearing panty hose. Place pin in seam of slacks and static is gone.
- Before you pour sticky substances into a measuring cup, fill with hot water.
Dump out the hot water, but don't dry cup. Next, add your ingredient (peanut butter, honey, etc) and watch how easily it comes right out.
- Hate foggy windscreens? Buy a blackboard eraser and keep it in the glove box of your car. When the windows fog, rub with the duster, it works better than a cloth!
- Reopening an envelope. If you seal an envelope and then realize you forgot to include something inside, just place your sealed envelope in the freezer for an hour or two. Viola! It unseals easily.
- Use your hair conditioner to shave your legs. It's cheaper than shaving cream and leaves your legs really smooth. It's also a great way to use up the conditioner you bought but didn't like when you tried it in your hair.
