Tuesday's Tip

Hey! Are you all getting strawberries in your grocery stores and/or gardens now? (I wish I had strawberries in my garden!)

Here's a little tip I learned recently, I can't remember exactly where, I don't want to get credit for this because I didn't make it up.

So you know how strawberries mold really fast if you don't eat them up quickly?  Well, here's my latest magic trick and therefore is worth of a Tuesday Tip:

The magic trick is VINEGAR. Strawberries come all nicely packaged with mold spores included (isn't that nice...:-/)

So in order to kill the mold spores, take a splash of vinegar in a large bowl, add some fresh water, and dump your strawberries in, fresh from the grocery store.  Thusly.....

Swirl them around in the vinegar water for a bit, then put them back in the fridg. I SWEAR this helps amazingly well! (unless you eat your strawberries within 24 hours of purchase)  The ratio is about 10 parts water to 1 part of vinegar, but hey, I never really measured.  I PROMISE the strawberries don't taste like vinegar........

Also because I'm an insane woman AKA Matriarchal Madwoman, I'm off to the farmer to pick up some sweet corn for my adventure for the next few days......If you want another tip on how I freeze fresh corn, go here, because I don't have time to write another explanation on how to do it. Perhaps today is a double Tuesday Tip then.....

Wish me luck!!
