    Potatoes and Onions Shouldn't Be Stored Together

    Putting bananas in a paper bag with one apple will make the bananas ripen faster.  But apparently, it's ONIONS that make potatoes sprout faster.

    Conversely, storing potatoes with apples can actually prevents them from sprouting.

    Don't ask me, it's science.

    Add a Paper Towel to Extra Salad

    If you have leftover lettuce, put a paper towel over it (dry), then cover the bowl with plastic wrap.  The towel is supposed to suck up moisture so your salad stays crisp.
