Older eggs are easier to peel when boiled. You know an egg is rotten if it floats in a bowl of water. Fresh eggs sink, old eggs stand up straight, rotten eggs float. Love your videos!!!thank you❤️🍏🍅

FREEZING BREAD HAS CHANGED MY LIFE!! ... My bread used to always go moldy before I could finish it, and I really hate throwing food away. You'll NEVER have to throw another moldy loaf of bread away again! I encourage you all to try freezing your bread, it really does keep its fresh texture! Especially if you toast it a little!

My sister came up with freezing her avocados. She was looking for the frozen avocados at Costco and could never find them. Light bulb moment, I can freeze them myself. Flash freeze them, put them into a plastic bag and you have avocados for your smoothies etc. I had to throw out so many avocados because of over ripeness, not anymore. The avocados don’t discolor when frozen.

[@mariebiggane7602]

That is what I thought about the Costco frozen avocados. Honestly when prepped at home they taste a little better. They still add nutrients and creaminess to your to you smoothies and it is better than tossing them. 😀

in Europe sell-by dates are mandatory by law and were introduced in Marks & Spencer's storerooms in the 1950s before making their way on to the shelves in 1970 - it wasn't even actually called a "sell-by-date" until 1973 - in the United States, federal law requires only that infant formula be 'sell by' dated but many states (including mine) have similar regulations/laws for products like milk, eggs and meat -

We tested many expired products from my neighbor’s pantry. Although nothing was spoiled, flavor and color were greatly diminished. Also, her pantry is adjacent to her laundry room where she used and stored scented laundry products. Anything in a box like cracker,s, cereal, plastic storage containers and boxes of plastic baggies and plastic wrap that had been in the pantry at least a year smelled like dryer sheets even after being in a different location for several weeks. All the crackers and cereals were stale in texture and off in flavor.
