Helpful Hint Numero Uno

Ay yi yi! Only one post in February so far?? Wow. You can really tell when I go back to school. One day, I'll be out of school. And maybe also on that day I will have more time to blog about veggies...maybe. Well in response to my inability to blog consistently about what I'm cooking or interesting books I'm reading, I'm starting a section of helpful hints around your kitchen & beyond. Things I have learned that everyone should know..........................

Helpful Hint #1:

When you buy cheese from the supermarket or wherever, take it out of the cellophane wrap it comes in and re-wrap it in a plastic bag or plastic wrap. It will last much longer without molding.

The above hint is for harder cheeses like cheddar. Follow this link for other helpful hints on cheese storage:

She even takes it one step further by suggesting parchment or wax paper between the cheese and plastic wrap. Probably a great suggestion considering how toxic plastic can be.
