Yep, kids, I'm back. At least for a while, PJ the Tipster is back with helpful Tips for everything from cooking to housekeeping to safety to auto care to . . . well, you get the picture. So scroll on down for Today's Tip!





YES, WE HAVE NO BANANAS. OH WAIT! YES, WE DO HAVE BANANAS!

To keep bananas fresh several days longer than normal, don't put them in your refrigerator. Instead, keep them out on your counter and wrap some plastic wrap around the stem ends of the bunch. If the wrap is a little loose, secure it with a piece of tape or a rubber band.

Covering the stem ends will delay over-ripening of your nanners.

Our bananas never last for several days. They don't have a chance, we eat them right away.
Good tip Ms Pam

Yay, Today's Tip is back!

Thanks, Pam. That explains why the bananas I see in grocery stores often have tight plastic wrap around the stems. We eat a lot of bananas at my house, and I hate when they go all brown and mushy.

Great tip, PJ!

Always looking for ways to get these to keep longer around here without going bad first!

Good stuff PJ! With only two of us here, it can be a challenge to keep produce fresh for more than a few days. Welcome back and Happy Weekend!
