Perfect Pasta

Do you know how to boil perfect pasta?
I didn't until about two years ago and I don't cook my pasta any other way now.

Here are the easy 3 steps:

1- Boil water over high heat.
2 - Once you pour in the pasta, set timer for 3 minutes and turn down heat to med-high.
3 - Once the 3 min. is over, take pan off heat, cover and set timer for 10 min. for most pastas and 7 min. for angel hair spaghetti. Strain and serve.

Now you will never have to dirty your kitchen by throwing pasta at your cupboards.

Watermelon Love.

Watermelon is like Gold in our house.

I look forward all year to watermelon. I wish there were a way to freeze the refreshing summer taste of a perfectly ripe watermelon.

But there is not (or maybe you all are hiding something from me...please don't hesitate if you have any life altering suggestions of ways that I can include more watermelon in my life)

Call me a 'green' housewife, but this tip has changed my life
(scratch that...this tip has changed my summer life).

So, How do you cut a watermelon?

This is how I do it...

Start by cutting your watermelon in Half, then into thin wedges.

Lay the slice flat and slice vertically.

Then slice Horizontally.

Then separate the watermelon from the peel as seen below.

And there you have it... A perfectly sliced Watermelon...don't mind the piece that is missing :)
