Tip of the Week: To find out if an egg is fresh, immerse it in a pan of cool salted water. If it rises to the surface, it is stale, but if it sinks, it is fresh. Spin the egg. If it wobbles it is raw--if it spins easily, it's hard-boiled. Add a few drops of vinegar to the water when poaching an egg to keep it from running all over the pan. A couple of drops of vinegar will also keep cracked eggs from running out of the shell when boiling them. Add one tablespoon of water per egg-white to increase the quantity of beaten egg-white when making meringue. Quickly rinse hot hard-boiled eggs in cold water, and the shells will be easier to remove. Cover egg yolks with cold water and keep in the refrigerator to keep them fresh for several days   Click here to see some of our recent tips.

Design Ideas:   Seaside color schemes are becoming increasingly popular in modern interior decorating. Fresh aqua blue, sandy tan, seaglass green and pale peach are all colors which figure strongly in this scheme. The use of pale gray shades will will help to a evoke  feel of sea.                                                                                                                              Click here to check out other great design ideas.
