You may wonder why I have a photo of sliced cheese and foil....well, now that I have your attention, here are 12 random interesting facts about food. You will pick up at LEAST one tip you didn't know. Ready? here we go:
1. Store your opened chunks of cheese in aluminum foil. It will stay fresh much longer and no mold.
2. Peel a banana from the bottom and you won't have to pick the little "stringy things" off of it. Thanks how the primates do it.
3. Take your bananas apart when you bring them home from the store. If you leave them connected at the stem, they ripen faster. (unless you want them to)
4. Bell 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.
5. Add a teaspoon of water when frying ground beef. It will help pull the grease away from the meat while cooking.
6. To really make scrambled eggs or omelets rich, add a couple of spoonfuls of sour cream, cream cheese, or heavy cream and then whisk thoroughly.
7. For a nice brownie treat, make brownies as directed. Melt Andes mints in double broiler and pour over warm brownies. Let set for a wonderful minty topping.
8. Add garlic immediately to a recipe if you want a light taste of garlic and at the end of the recipe if you want a stronger garlic taste.
9. Leftover Snickers bars from Halloween treats make a delicious dessert. Simply chop them up . Peel core and slice a few apples. Place them in a baking dish and sprinkle the chopped candy bars over the apples. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes. Serve alone or a la mode.
10. Reheating pizza; Heat up 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.
11. Reheating refridgerated bread; To warm biscuits, pancakes, or muffins that were refridgerated, place them in a microwave with a cup of water. The increased moisture will keep the food moist and help it reheat faster.
12. Goodbye fruit flies !! To get rid of pesky fruit flies, take a small glass, put in 1/2 inch of apple cider vinegar and 2 drops of dish washing liquid, mix well. You will find those flies can't resist, and then they are "gone".
Next post will be back to your previously scheduled sweets and recipes.
