Strawberries are so soft and easy to bruise. Allow me to portray a helpful strawberry preparation tip for you today. Did you know simply pouring water over your strawberries to wash them is insufficient to eliminate the bacteria and chemicals? It is important you thoroughly clean strawberries and you can use the following alkaline and acidic homemade solutions to do so. To prepare the alkaline solution, add one teaspoon (6 grams) of baking soda with one liter of cold water. Immerse the strawberries in this solution for five minutes and dry them afterwards. Then rinse the strawberries in an acidic solution, which is prepared by adding around 50 milliliters (1/4 cup) of apple cider or white vinegar to one liter of water. Immerse the strawberries in this solution for an additional five minutes, then rinse them under running water. In many cases, following these steps are sufficient to clean your fruits prior to consuming them.
We scooped the following joke from the giggle fountain. Let’s take a gulp and see how funny it is. It’s called “Arrested for Nothing Much.”
During a trial, the judge asked the defendant:
“Do you know what offense you are accused of?”
“I am being prosecuted because I coughed.”
“Are you kidding me? No one gets arrested and brought to court just for coughing!”
“Your Honor, I’m telling the truth. I coughed while I was working, and that’s why I got arrested.”
“Nonsense! What kind of job doesn’t allow employees to cough?”
“Well, I was trying to crack open a safe, and I coughed, and then I got arrested.”
?!
