Pasta - Potatoes

Pasta - Potatoes

 

Pasta: Rolling boil, 8-9 minutes to al-dente, ‘nuff said.

 

Peppers: Green 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.        

 

Pizza: Heat up leftover pizza in a nonstick skillet on top of the stove, set heat to med-low and heat till warm. This keeps the crust crispy. So much better than the microwave!

Potatoes (Trivia: In what year did Dan Quayle misspell “potato”?)

 

Remove Excess Salt From Soups and Stews:

 

If you over salt your soup, stew or chili, cut up one or two washed, raw potatoes and drop them into the pot. Allow the potato to cook for several minutes. It will absorb the excess salt!

 

Trivia Answer: 1992, Dan Quayle led a spelling bee for sixth-grade students at an elementary school in New Jersey. He corrected William Figueroa, 12, when the child spelled "potato" on the blackboard – making the boy add an extra "e" at the end of the word "potatoe". Mr. Quayle has never lived down this blunder.
