12 THINGS YOUR MOTHER SHOULD HAVE TOLD YOU
1. Take your bananas apart when you get home from the store. If you leave them connected at the stem, they ripen faster.
2. 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.
4. Add a teaspoon of water when frying your meat. It will help pull the grease away from the meat while frying.
5. To really make scrambled eggs or omelets rich add a couple of cream or milk and beat it.
6. Add garlic immediately to your cooking if you want a light taste of it and at the end of the cooking if your want a stronger taste of it.
7. To warm food from the fridge place it in a microwave with a cup of water. The increased moisture will keep the food moist and help it reheat faster.
8. Broken Glass
Use a wet cotton ball or old bread to pick up the small pieces of broken glass you can't see easily.
9. Re-opening envelopes
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.
10. Conditioner
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.
11. When you make meat or chicken stock, dont use it immediately. Keep it in your fridge till the following day then see what settles on top of it. Layers and layers of fats! Get rid of the layers of fat before using (unless you like the layers of fat of course)
12. To stop crying while cutting onions put the bulb in the fridge a few minutes before slicing. In an emergency when you don't have the luxury of time to use the fridge, put a small piece of the onions in the mouth before slicing and your eyes are dry afterwards.
If you have any more you can add to the list.
