A Food Link Worth Looking at..

I am a big fan of the local food movement.  I encourage you to look at this link because it can help facilitate your desire to eat well and support the local economy.  You can order grass feed beef or sign up for bi-monthly organic, local vegetable delivery.  I friend signed up for the vegetable delivery, see her comments below.

"I picked-up our first box of gorgeous, 100% organic produce this evening!  We got strawberries, heirloom tomatoes, basil, yellow and gold baby carrots, cucumbers, parsley, red chard, green and yellow squash and a huge bag of green beans - Definitely worth the $25. "

Oreck Dry Carpet Cleaning System

I swear by this stuff.  You can use it to spot clean or clean the whole carpet.  It works wonders and it is a "green" product.  It has removed red wine stains from my cream colored carpet on multiple occasions.  Need I say more?

Master the Microwave

There is an art to everything in the kitchen. Here are a few tips I have learned to master the microwave.



(1) The key to the microwave is time intervals. Instead of “waving” something for 5 minutes straight, do two 2 minute segments and a 1 minute at the end. The time intervals allow for more evenly heated food with more moisture.
(2) Another trick is plastic wrap. If you are re-heating left-overs or steaming vegetables, you place the food on a plate and cover the plate in plastic wrap. It decreases reheating time and increase moisture in the food. I use this technique with the interval heating.
(3) ***Popcorn Alert*** always use the popcorn setting on the microwave
