Welcome to my Donna’s did you know diary for this month and pleased to share the following with you.
Here’s what I learned for this month.
1) A good way for testing the heat of oil in a pot?
Place a wooden spoon in your pot.
When you see bubbles around the spoon you know that the oil is hot enough for cooking.
2) What makes for a healthy oyster?
When preparing to cook said oyster, you know that it is healthy when its shell contains sand.
3) How about some tips for muscles?
If the shell is light in weight before you proceed to cook then you know that this muscle is dead.
If the shell is open, then the muscle is no good.
4) How about a slither of chocolate after a meal?
Yes, good for digestion
5) A handy dandy tip for testing the freshness of eggs
When you are ready to cook eggs, first put them in a bowl of tepid water.
If they sink to the bottom of the bowl it means that they are good for cooking.
If they float then they should not be cooked.
Discard them.
6) An important tip for traveling out of country.
Make sure that your name on your passport exactly matches your name on your ticket.
For if it does not, you run the great risk of being rejected when you get to the airport.
7) What is a good substitute for fresh cream?
Well it is sour cream!
8) For those of you planning a fishing trip this summer, here are some very important tips.
The sport of fishing requires enduring patience and, according to many seasoned fishermen, a little good fortune.
The weather, water temperature, type of bait, noise level, time of day and even the air quality are all factors that are taken into consideration when embarking on a fishing expedition.
9) What is stagflation?
Stagflation is the term used to describe a state of constant inflation along with rising unemployment and low income levels.
10) Is there a difference between jams, fruit spreads, and marmilades?
I believe so.
Jams are the thickest.
Marmalades come next.
Fruit spreads are the least thick.
