Did You Know?
-- 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.
-- 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 and then beat them.
-- For a cool brownie treat, make brownies as directed. Melt Andes mints in double broiler and pour over warm brownies. Let set for a wonderful minty frosting.
-- 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 taste of garlic.
-- Leftover Snickers bars from Halloween make a delicious dessert. Simply chop them up with the food chopper. 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 with vanilla ice cream.
