that was interesting. i seen a couple of things in there that I did believe to be true that weren't.

to cut up an an onion without it irritating your eyes, cut it under the cold water tap or in a bowl of cold water. Works everytime, no more onion tears.

If you remove the core of the lettuce head out, the lettuce will last a little longer then it would if you left it in there. Bang the lettuce head on a hard surface (core down) then pull the core out. comes out in one piece.

Keep your fresh mushrooms in a paper bag away from any light. they'll stay fresh and last longer. Mushrooms need to stay in the dark.
