Notice how I spelled "shear" in the title? That's because kitchen shears are one of the best tools you can have when cooking. The top-notch ones can cut through small bones and snip boneless chicken breasts to just the right size. Click here to view an outstanding pair from Pampered Chef. I highly recommend them.
Starting on February 7, there's a whole run of holidays for you to delve into. Rose Day! How about Propose Day? Then there's Chocolate Day, Teddy Day, Promise Day, Hug Day, and Kiss Day. Are you sensing the theme? They all lead up to the big one, but if you are into the spirit, take advantage of all of them. A week of celebrations! Perfect! February made better than ever!
Have a frequent meal you make? Pasta, anyone? Or maybe you like beef-based dishes. For pasta, measure out your sauce in ice cube trays and freeze. Do the same with chopped rosemary in olive oil. Then just toss in a cube (or two) during cooking. Tasty! For beef dishes, divvy a large container of meat into smaller sections (yes, ice cube trays again) and toss as many as you need into your pot. Perfection achieved!
Tired of the snow and dreary landscapes? Now's the time to start putting away some serious cash for that dream cruise. Major discounts usually kick in during March. Just enough time to prepare! Sweet it will be! (Be sure to mask up while on the water! Stay Covid-free!)
You know you want to get away! If you've got even a hundred dollars, you can likely fly somewhere for the day. It may be only to the next state, but fly in early, get an Uber to a local destination, and catch the return flight in the evening! Woo-hoo! You'll feel like a well-traveled girl or guy! And you didn't even have to check a bag!
