Food Lover's Tiptionary? What's that and where do you get one??

Tammi, I know you can get it on Amazon, I am out of money until payday!

Ok....What is it though? Just a book full of tips?

Storing with a paper towel to absorb the moisture helps I know.

I always tell my customers the strawberry's #1 enemy is moisture. Don't wash them until you are ready to use them. Or, wash them in our small colander (of the Colander & Bowl set) and store with it nested in the small bowl so that the moisture can continue to drip down into the bowl.

Also, 8 medium strawberries have more Vit C than a glass of orange juice.

OR... tell then that this year.. .just in time... we have an incredible salad/berry spinner that will get the moisture off them! Sorry... couldn't resist!

Strawberry tip???

My favorite waitress informs me that she prefers cash.

The strawberries get crushed and make too much of a mess in her pocket.





















Sorry. I just can't help myself sometimes.

I was at a friends house this last weekend and she had this plastic egg thing. It was called the EGG. It keeps all your produce fresher longer. She pulled out some strawberries that were on DAY 9 in her frige, and they looked fresh as could be!
I havent searched online for this yet but believe she said she got it off of QVC.
