Take your bananas apart when you get home from the store.
If you leave them connected at the stem, they ripen faster..
I didn't know that!

Store your opened chunks of cheese in aluminum foil.
It will stay fresh much longer and not mold!

Peppers with 3 bumps on the bottom are sweeter and better for eating.
Peppers with 4 bumps on the bottom are firmer and better for cooking.

Easy Deviled Eggs
Put cooked egg yolks in a zip lock bag. Seal, mash till they are all broken up.
Add remainder of ingredients, reseal, keep mashing it up mixing thoroughly, cut the tip of the baggy, squeeze mixture into egg.
Just throw bag away when done easy clean up.

Newspaper weeds away
Start putting in your plants, work the nutrients in your soil. Wet newspapers,
Put layers around the plants overlapping as you go cover with mulch and forget about weeds. Weeds will get through some gardening plastic they will not get through wet newspapers.

Good ideas or what!!! 8)

Don't store them in the fridge either, or they'll go black (something to do with the gases they give off) :-)

Hopefully a useful tip - Buy an insulated Banana Bag from Lakeland Limited (£4.99), wipes clean after use. When kept in the fridge prevents fruit from over-ripening and blackening. Fruit stays fresh for around a fortnight (twice normal lifespan).

Can honestly say that it's one of the best buys I've made.
