Well
hello everyone out there! How are you doing?
My name is Granny Nibbles and I just
LOVE to collect little bits of information about food. You
know my grandkids think I'm a little off my rocker ( if you know
what I mean)! But what the heck, I've been doing it since I was
a babe barely starting school. Anyhow. . . I'm here
to share a little bit of this and that with you. Hope you
like it! Have a great day! Take care, now. |

| My
mama taught me a very long time ago that some foods can do more
than just feed me. Like if you add baking soda to furniture
oil, you can remove some stains from wood. Pretty nifty,
huh! |
|
|
|
|
| And
speaking of stains. Did you know they used to say that if you put
a tomato slice on an ink stain, usually it will soak up the stain
and remove it! |
|
|
|
| Here's
one for you: If you weigh 150 pounds, your body contains
about 90 pounds of water. Wow! |
|
|
|
| Have you ever had
trouble with your canister of sugar caking up and getting hard on
you? Well, you might want to try this: Put a few salt-free
crackers in with the sugar to absorb the moisture that's causing
all the trouble. |
|
|
|
| Did you know that white
chocolate isn't chocolate? It's really a combination of
sugar, milk powder, and cocoa butter. When cocoa butter is
pressed from chocolate liquor, it loses its chocolate
flavor! Next time try a test--take a bit of the real
chocolate, then a sip of water, then take a bit of white
chocolate. Compare the taste! Which is your favorite? |
|
|
| You should probably also
know that Vitamin C helps the body absorb iron. (That should be
really handy to know if you're a bit anemic!) |
|
|
| Another thing I've
learned over the years is that, if you add hot milk to
potatoes when you are mashing them, it will help prevent
them from getting heavy and soggy. |
|
|
|
|
| Well,
folks. Guess I ought to wrap it up for now. Wouldn't want to
overstay my welcome--so to speak. Anyway, I'll be back
regular-like with more interesting food facts. See you
then! Now take real good care of yourself, okay?
