Tip of the day

Another cooking tip.  When preparing a meal that includes onion  use the following tip if your family thinks you've been watching a girlie movie every time you chop onions.  Cut the onion in half lenghtways ie from top to bottom.  Chop the top bit off but leave the bottom bit (that used to have the roots attached) in tact.  Cut into thirds but don't cut all the way through to the end. Then chop accross into small pieces.  By not cutting the end it seems to give off less fumes thereby less watery and sore eyes.  Hope this enhances your cooking experience, I know it has mine.

The kids are eating away from home tonight so I'm making chili chicken. yum

I'm back

One of the reasons I started this blog was to help myself get through my technophobia.  I recently actually lost my blog.  Couldn't find it, saved on a different browser, had to get into my husbands web history copy and send it to myself.   Live and learn I say.....even if you do feel a bit silly sometimes in the process.

Anyway, I'm going to start posting some helpful hints and tips.  Here's one to get started:
        If you are using fresh ginger (and I recommend you do for its many heath benefits) peel using a SPOON   it's so much easier.  More tips to follow in a couple of days if I can stick to it and also not loose my page.
Grace and peace to you.
