TIP OF THE DAY
Secret to Fresh Dates
Transfer opened dates to a glass jar with a tight-sealing lid within 24 hours of opening the original package. Tuck a small piece of orange peel into the jar to add a hint of moisture and natural preservation.
Store the jar in a cool, dark pantry away from heat sources like the stove or dishwasher. The citrus peel releases just enough moisture to keep dates soft without making them soggy, and the dark storage prevents the sugars from hardening.
“WILDLIFE” CONTROL
We once watched a neighbor's prized tulips become a cat's favorite napping spot, and the battle was on. These seven smart strategies protect blooms without harming curious felines who see soft soil as an invitation.
FUN FACT
Life Savers Invented to Save Chocolate
Clarence Crane ran a chocolate business in Cleveland, but summer heat turned his inventory into goo. In 1912, he pressed mint sugar into rings with a pill-making machine, creating a candy that could survive August without refrigeration. The hole in the middle wasn't just decorative —it kept the mints from cracking during production and made them look like tiny life preservers, which inspired the name. |  |
