Kitchen Tips #7

2. Pour beef drippings in a ziploc bag or ice cube trays and freeze. They make perfect beef stock.
3. Freeze steak, roast, ham and chicken bones to use as flavoring for soup.
4. Pour a few drops of lemon juice into the pot while your cooking rice and your rice will not lose its brilliant white color. This is great for times when your trying to impress your company.
5. Cottage cheese lasts longer turned upside down in the refrigerator.

Kitchen Tips #6
1. Use a few tablespoons of mash potatoes to thicken gravy instead of flour. This helps prevent lumps in gravy.
2. If you don’t have capers use an equal amount of green olives chopped as a subsitiute.
3. Don’t waste a whole lemon for just a few squeezes for a recipe. Poke a few holes with a fork in the lemon and squeeze what you need and refrigerate the lemon in a ziploc bag.
4. Use a clean coffee filters to clean mirrors, chrome, windows, and auto windows. They leave behind very little lint.
5. To help keep sink drains moving, once a month put 1/4 cup baking soda down drain first followed by 2 cups white vinegar let stand approx 1 hour or more. Then pour an entire sauce pan of boiling hot water down the sink. This will help keep your drains smelling fresh and flowing well.
