A Few Things I've Learned in the Kitchen

Put a plate under meat that defrosts in the refrigerator.

If it tastes good, no one cares what it looks like.

Always hold down the lid on the blender. Always. Just do it.

Nothing beats a good, sharp chef's knife.

If you're doing something on a timer, carry the timer with you into the other room when you hop online for just a second. Because no one ever hops online for just a second.

Put a cookie sheet or a piece of tin foil on the lower shelf when you cook a pie.

I'm sure I have more but I consumed a large quantity of adult beverages last night and stayed up way past my bed time and I'm still moving slowly.
