| RE: Store Salad Greens With a Paper Towel |
|
I've done this for years also. I wrap everything in PT's, radishes, broccoli, cabbage, celery, green onions, asparagus, just about anything. As soon as I buy but before I wash except lettuce. Even half used cucumbers, peppers get wrapped. Then I put them in ziplock bags which can be re-used. I also line my crisper drawers with a cotton kitchen towel. ... View related article. |

| RE: Bury Plastic Bottles for Garden Irrigation |
|
I have done this for years with 100% success! The difference being, I always use 1 gallon glass jugs. They are perfect! These jugs do not have to be refilled daily. You could go away for the weekend and not have to worry, and you will be surprised at how little water they use. They do not blow over in the wind. They are recyclable year after year. I put one at the base of every plant in my garden and since I like funky, eclectic garden art, they also look pretty cool. ... View related article. |

I bought one of those 3 tiered hanging vegetable baskets at the dollar store. You know the ones. There is a little one at the top, then a medium sized one in the middle, and a large one on the bottom. It works like a charm and I can put everything in it from soaps to brushes to hair ties etc. You can see what you have and everything is right there at your fingertips! ... View related article. |

I create balls out of yarn. Just wrap a nice tight ball of any size and leave a long tail on it or weave in the end. Also tie them on doorknobs for more fun play. ... View related article. |

| RE: Do You Need To Tip When Getting Take Out? |
I am trying to remember when tipping for fast food and/or take out became the norm and/or even expected. Fast food/take out is very different from dining in as it requires a lot more work, skill and knowledge!
I have worked my way up the ranks of the restaurant biz the past 40+ years and I do not believe in tipping for fast food/takeout! I find it an indignity to professional food service, expecting to be tipped for doing one's job in "fast food" or putting a take out order in a bag with a couple of condiments. And the final indignity is placing a jar on the counter and...asking for a tip! Something that is just not done by professionals! A tip is a "gratuity"...a gift! Never to be expected and never asked for! Fast food is not full service dining, employees go to work there knowing it is not a tipped position from the beginning. It is a starting point for people who may want to move up in the wonderful world of hospitality! I wouldn't tip my grocery store clerk for checking or bagging my groceries...fast food/takeout, no different.
That goes for tipping hostesses also...it is just not done. Professional servers, work very, very, hard for the money they make. If a server gets "stiffed", I suggest taking a refresher course on food /customer service...I cannot remember the last time I was "stiffed"...I believe my guest always comes first...it is my job to make their experience most enjoyable and to tend to their every need during the meal. As a result, I find the reward always acceptable.
Just a note: The acronym "TIPS" means "To Insure Proper Service". In some places in Europe it is even done before the meal..."To Insure Proper Service" throughout the course of the meal. Not for picking up a bag of hamburgers. ... View related article. |
