wickedcherubQuick question:
How do you dice tomatoes?
I cut them in half, then place the cut half down and slice like an onion. How am I supposed to get the tomatoes into cubes instead of strips?
(like, I cut along the x axis, and along the y, and it's impossible to do the z. Two dimensions, but not three)
Sometimes I suck at this homemaker thing.
Yesterday Adam was working late and I already had the bolognese going on the stove when I realised I couldn't get the jar of pasta sauce open. I asked FB for advice and got this:
"The never fail approach is to take that knife (butter knife, obviously) hold it by the blade, and hit the edge of the jar with the handle, at a tangential angle. Five or six solid taps should loosen it sufficiently to finish it by hand. I've never had a jar I couldn't open this way."
Only *my* friends could use tangential in everyday conversation, I swear. I almost made a 'finish it by hand' joke, but FB is family friendly.
