FOOD STORAGE
We've all watched a beautiful bulb of garlic sprout green shoots or turn soft before we could use it all—but garlic can stay fresh for months when stored the right way. These five simple preservation methods will help keep that pungent, flavor-packed ingredient ready whenever a recipe calls for it.
TIP OF THE DAY
Tangle No More
Wind ribbons, twine, and cord onto empty toilet paper rolls or wooden clothespins to stop tangling. Slide each ribbon through the cardboard tube, wrap it snugly around the outside, and tuck the end into the center hole to secure it.
Stack the rolls upright in a shoebox or drawer divider so you can see every color at a glance. This method keeps hundreds of yards tidy in a space smaller than a cereal box.
BUG CONTROL
Mosquitoes can detect carbon dioxide from up to 100 feet away, which explains why they always seem to find their target at the worst possible moment. We've gathered 7+ fast, proven hacks to stop mosquitoes before they strike, so outdoor evenings can finally feel peaceful again.
FUN FACT
Invention Spelling Mistake
James Hargreaves couldn't write his name. When he filed the patent for his multi-spindle spinning frame in 1770, a clerk recorded it as the "Spinning Jenny" because Hargreaves pronounced it that way. The machine that could spin eight threads at once—later scaled to 120—got its nickname from a mispronunciation, not from any woman named Jenny. |  |
