CLEANING FRUIT

Cleaning fruit - fill sink with water, add 1 C. vinegar, mix. Add all fruit and soak for 10 minutes. Water will be dirty and fruit will sparkle with no wax or dirty film. Great for berries too - keeps them from molding. I do this with strawberries and they last for weeks!

MICROWAVING

Both plants were watered for 9 days...The one on the left with microwaved water and the one on the right with regular water. Microwaving changes the molecular structure of water and food. Nutritionally important and sensitive enzymes in foods would also be affected.

I have stopped microwaving things as often as I can...It is a hard habit to break!

HOW TO TELL IF AN EGG IS BAD



 Place the egg into a bowl of cold water. The water level should be about 2 times higher than the egg.

Fresh eggs will sink to the bottom of the bowl and probably lie on their sides. Slightly older eggs (abou...t one week) will lie on the bottom but bob slightly.

If the egg balances on its smallest tip, with the large tip reaching for the top, it's probably close to three weeks old. Eggs that float at the surface are bad and should not be consumed.
