Things I've Learned This Week....

(Not in any particular order of importance or chronology...)

1.  Magnetic screwdrivers are the BOMB!  I have long fingernails.  I spent the greater part of an hour trying to pick up, position and hold a tiny screw.  Enter the magic magnetic screwdriver.  It picked up, positioned...and yes, HELD, the tiny screw for me whilst I did my thing.  Now I know why men go so nuts for those things.  Totally worth a few extra bucks!


2.  When a recipe calls for an amount of beer less than a full bottle, always use cold beer from the fridge rather than a room temp one.  Why?  Well, duh...so you can drink what's left in the bottle after you use some/half/most for your recipe.  Lesson learned on that one.




3.  Those nifty little plastic bins that strawberries and blueberries come in aren't dishwasher safe.  Umm, yeah.  So much for using those to grow alfalfa sprouts in the kitchen windowsill.
