These are a few of my Great Tips For Artisanal Bread, Corn On The Cob, And Everything Strawberry.

Everyone that knows me, knows there are a couple of things I love. Artisanal bread and strawberries. Not only do I love to eat them, but they are also on full display in my home.

On any given day I’ll buy artisan bread and I know it wouldn’t take me long to use them in different recipes, so I could easily devour them. Truth is, I can really get carried away, and I need to cut back.

I had this idea that if I could immortalize them, maybe, just maybe, that would make it easier for me not to rush out and buy a loaf all the time.

I ended up drying them out in the oven, turning them into giant croutons, baking them off, at a really low temperature (175 degrees F), for about 3 to 4 hours. I let them cool overnight, then varnished each one of the loaves along with a couple of croissants.

Now, I can just admire them any time I want, and not have to worry about the weight gain that would certainly be inevitable. Turns out, it became a lifelike breadbasket that makes a beautiful centerpiece for any table. For more great tips click on https://lindalouhamel.com/2015/04/16/tips-and-tricks-in-the-kitchen/

How about this one? You know what a pain it is when you want to remove the corn kernels from the cob. Here’s a great tip.

I love adding grilled corn to different dishes. It’s the task of removing the corn kernels that really disturbs me. They fly all over the place. They’re all over the cutting board, on the counter, and on the floor. It’s a battle keeping more than you seem to lose.

Take a Bundt pan or an Angel food cake pan, both shown in the pictures above and set the base of the cob into the hole. Hold the top of the cob with one hand, using a sharp chef’s knife, and slice off the kernels. I promise those kernels will all fall right into the cake pan. VOILA!

I do have one more short story. When I first moved out on my own, my grandmother gave me a strawberry canister set for my kitchen. Well, just like most girls, I thought I’d keep that theme going and stick with all things strawberry

I was 19 years old then, and now I’m in my 50s, and I think my strawberry-themed kitchen now looks more like the store you see in every Cracker Barrel.

You know what? There’s a memory and a story behind everything in your home.
