Get In Where You Fit In

With the crazy amount of nuts we have, a trip to the container store was imperative. We got some really cool jars (see far right with orange lid) and put all the nuts out on display. I think it's important to have things out where you can see them. No Betty Crocker, put everything away in the pantry kitchen for us! We totally gave our kitchen a new look and it feels great. Scrubbed down the entire house too, so everything is nice, fresh, and clean.
I got to reading in the afternoon and in Mimi's book she talks about storage for nuts. Oily nuts like walnuts, almond, and pine nuts should be stored in the fridge to prevent them from going rancid. What you are looking at is actually the back up nuts. We have containers out and these were the ones that were put in pantry, so I quickly moved the back up pantry nuts into the fridge. Gave that a little make over too.
Back on the celery in water thing...don't rinse it first. I made the mistake of rinsing it last week and it began to get lifeless pretty quickly. No rinsing until you are ready to eat them. Whatever vegetable it is. Except for lettuce. But with lettuce you want to rinse, spin, take spinner out, wipe out well and place a paper towel down. Then put lettuce on that and it should stay good for your salads M-F.
