Tips
be's been feeling icky for a few days. Maybe it's because he's eaten a large banana split every night for the past week - damn you Breyer's Ice Cream sale at Pathmark! - but to counteract upcoming sickness he brewed a giant pot of ginger lemon tea. Be sure to use the freshest ginger possible, and you can grate it instead of chopping to get more of the flavor out.A great ginger tip i read out of How to Break an Egg (thanks ZZ!):
1) To peel the skin off ginger, use the edge of a teaspoon! It perfectly scrapes off the layer of skin and you don't waste any of the ginger underneath. You can even place your thumb in the spoon indent for better control. Who knew?
Some other tips, while i'm at it:
2) For the butter dish, after unwrapping a stick of butter, use the back of a knife to score the top of the stick unto 8 sections, each representing one tablespoon. Just makes sense, right? First score the stick in half, then quarters etc.
3) If your green vegetables aren't so crisp, after prepping them place in a bowl of cold water for 10-20 minutes. This totally works on asparagus and green beans.
