buy a home: When and How To Salt Foods Correctly! - 09/25/10 09:52 AM

Enhance the natural taste of your ingredients, not the saltiness, by adding a pinch at these key stages:
 
1.  When sweating vegetables.  Salt draws moisture from food, helping it break down, unlocking the flavor.
2.  Before grilling or cooking meat.  Give it a healthy sprinkling.  Salt helps uncoil the proteins, bringing out the natural juices.
3.  After adding dairy.  Cream and unsalted butter counteract salt.  Try adding a little extra to a n oversalted dish to save it.
4.  With sweets.  It makes desserts and sweet foods, like watermelon, taste even better.
 
I usually don't use salt, but … (17 comments)

Move over cupcakes.  Bite size cake balls are the latest dessert craze!  We're talking serious sugar here, cake crumbs and frstong mixed together, rolled into balls, then dipped in icing, melted candy,nuts or chocoate.  Put them on a stick, and you've got a magical little conconction thats a combo doughnut hole, truffle and lollipop!  YUMMO!  Cake balls can now be found in upscale bakeries and gift catalogs.  These treats are the perfect way to satisfy your sweet tooth without scarfing down a slab of layer cake.  But, I am sure most of us can't eat just one :-) idx search … (21 comments)

buy a home: Wake Up At Work! - 09/17/10 10:13 AM
Here are 3 easy energy boosters for the 3pm work day slump: 1.  Do chair twists.  Stretching increases blood flow to muscles and helps you feel more alert.  To do this at your desk:  Sit up straight, lengthen your spine, twist to the left and hold on to the back of your chair for 10 seconds before switching sides. 2.  Pick peppermint.  Chew a stick of gum, eat a hard candy or sip some tea.  The scent is invigorating and provides an instant boost. 3.  Take a breath (or four).  Stop whatever you are doing, roll your shoulders back, open your … (9 comments)

buy a home: Shower Curtains/Cleaning - 03/23/10 08:22 AM
I am almost embarrassed to admit that I usually just toss my soiled shower curtain plastic liner, and buy a new one whenever I need to.  But, I recently read about a better option...one I will do from now on.
Rid your plastic or fabric curtains and liners of mildew and soap scum by simply tossing them into the washing machine.  Begin a regular cold cycle, adding a cup of the detergent and a cup of vinegar.  Once the machine is filled with water, shut it off and let soak for 2 hours.  Then resume the cycle for stain-free results!

buy a home: Men and Women Sure Have Different Humor! - 03/04/10 09:05 AM
The other day, my husband and I rented the movie "The Hangover."  I will admit, I thought it sounded stupid, and all the women I spoke to agreed.  My hubby on the other hand, heard only good things about it and insisted it would be funny.
 
Well, after a few minutes into the movie, I looked over at him and he is grinning from ear to ear and chuckling like he hasn't heard of anything funnier.  I was dumb founded.  I don't even think I laughed once during the movie..maybe once???  Worse yet, I can't recall any funny moments.

buy a home: 6 Big Supermarket Traps! - 02/27/10 08:28 AM
 
In Rachel Ray last month, they talked about the 6 Big Supermarket Traps....Here are the highlights:
1.  The Entrance Area.   Stores internally refer to this site as the "chill zone."  And, with good reason:  This spot primes shoppers with the impulse buys like DVDs, bulk goods and holiday products that appeal to them emotionally.  Its designed to make you consider buying, say, a carton of soda for an important impromptu barbecue. 
What To Do:  You might think your best bet is to pt on blinders here, but that will come back to haunt you.  Go ahead and linger, and … (43 comments)

buy a home: The Pickle Jar...Cute Story! - 02/13/10 08:57 AM
The pickle jar as far back as I can remember sat on the floor beside the dresser in my parents' bedroom. When he got ready for bed, Dad would empty his pockets and toss his coins into the jar. As a small boy, I was always fascinated at the sounds the coins made as they were dropped into the jar.  They landed with a merry jingle when the jar was almost empty. Then the tones gradually muted to a dull thud as the jar was filled. I used to squat on the floor in front of the jar to admire the … (16 comments)
