Title: TG's domestic advice and household tips thread.
Post by: TG on March 07, 2014, 06:26:08 PM: Do not microwave rock hard butter to make it spreadable.

You will never get it right and it will drip everywhere.

Plus, if you keep doing it said butter will be rancid before it's time.

Soak for 24 hours.

You shall thusly become pissed on everything you cook using said product.

Also, when you drain raisins the rum is still perfectly palatable.

Trust me on this.

The aforesaid disaster occurs when you run out of it (her fault obviously) and you remember that she has some of the hard stuff for cooking (so what if it's past is best buy date) and you don't want the bread all riipped up
