This week's tip comes because I always reach into our refrigerator
and I most generally have "Soggy Celery". What do you do
with soggy celery? There are two good ways to improve this
unwanted celery. One is to soak the stalks in a large container
filled with ice water. Do this for about 3 hours. Another
way is to get out our ice tea or water pitcher and fill it with ice
water and add a tablespoon of white vinegar or squeeze the juice from
one lemon. Place the stalks vertically in the water and soak them
for 2 hours or so in the refrigerator. This works most of the time
on soggy, limp celery. It is not a cure all and sometimes if the
celery is not just limp, but beyond any future use, just toss it out!
Oh, one more thing you can do with a little vinegar. Next time you
make poached eggs, put little white vinegar in the water and it will
keep the whites of the egg from spreading all over the water.
Keep watching for information on our pre publication book sale. We
hope to offer a special deal on prepublication sales starting sometime
in late April.
Have a question...email me and I will send you a reply and will post some of these in the Tip of the Week!
