Tip Time: Noodle Know-How

Posted in Tip Time


Don't you just hate it when you get ready to break those spaghetti noodles into a pot of boiling water and pieces of noodles go all over the place? Well, I have a solution for you! My friend Lori taught me this handy-dandy little trick. Bend the sealed box of pasta against the edge of a countertop in order to break the noodles in half...then open the box and pour the broken pieces into the pot. Voila! No more mess!

 

Simple, Easy, and Effective!

I'm a very happily married pastor's wife, former schoolteacher-turned-homeschool mom of six wonderful blessings, and freelance writer--and we live in the great state of Georgia! I'm a southern girl through and through...but most importantly, I'm a child of the King! We have just finished up our twelfth year of homeschooling, and our two oldest have now graduated! This is my place to record thoughts about homemaking, Classical-Charlotte Mason based homeschooling, writing around the fringes of family life, and more...so welcome to my little corner of the world!
