How Old Were You?, In the Kitchen, and Sweetness

 You ever seen those questions or

videos where the person ask,

"how old were you when you 

learned _________?

Well, I was 65, looking at 66

when I learned that, after popping

microwave popcorn, you open a 

really small section of the sealed area.

turn it over and shake the bag.

This my friends, and I have not 

tried it, is to shake out those

kernals that did not pop.

WOW!

You know that I will have to pop

some popcorn and try this.

Also, I recently learned that to make

sausage balls, a the larger end of a melon

ball spoon is great for that. 

I was tired of trying to get my balls to 

be the same size, so I grabbed my melon

ball thingy and scooped up the mix, slipped

it out and rolled it placing it on the 

cookie sheet. Worked great.

Talking about scooping stuff up,

I learned a long time ago that

for filling cupcake or muffin

mix to put in the holder, you use an

ice cream scooper.

Great for cookies too.

Did you know that the top 

of a vanilla bottle is a

teaspoon.

Or that when you open a new

bottle of something, and the inside

of the top has a point on it, 

this is to stick into the 

paper seal on the bottle, 

making pulling it off the bottle

so much easier.

 Now I ask, did you learn

anything?

haha...

I have also learned that 

parchment paper comes

already cut in sheets 

for you, so does 

foil for cooking!

I am all about making

life easier, and those

two items help.

However, on that note,

I have come to the 

conclusion, I need 

to stay out of the 

kitchen. During the 

holidays, I burnt peanut

brittle, made fudge that

did not get hard, made 

a horrible soup, broke

several glasses, and 

who knows what all.

LOL

Now for those needing 

a total sweetness

Have an amazing 

week,

Pam
