Oldiesmann: I'm not aware of any Jenny. Not sure why activity has died down on this site so much though 2023-06-12, 00:06:36

JennyW: Also, does anyone know other photo sharing sites that are Christian? 2023-05-16, 08:47:03

JennyW: Hello Everyone! I really miss activity on this site. I've been discouraged by photography sites where you have to sort through so much explicit content in order to see photos that truly glorify God. I'd love to see this site pick up again. 2023-05-16, 08:46:36

                                    HINTS FOR SALADS

  • When buying grapefruit, judge it by its weight.  The heavier ones are juicier.
  • Add ¼ teaspoon soda to cranberries while cooking and they will not require as much sugar.
  • Frosted Grapes:  Beat 2 egg whites and 2 tablespoons water slightly.  Dip small clusters of grapes into the mixture.  Sprinkly with granulated sugar.  Dry on waxed paper.
  • Lemons that are heated before squeezing will give almost twice the quantity of juice.
  • Grease the salad mold with salad dressing, mayonnaise or salad oil and it will help the salad slip out easily.
  • Save sweet pickle juice.  Store it in the refrigerator and use small amounts to thin dressings for salads.
  • Soak hard-cooked eggs in beet pickle juice for in interesting taste and colorful garnish.
  • To make a hard-cooked egg flower:  Cut white from the small end of the egg about ¾ of the way down, petal fashion, being careful not to cut yolk.  When spread apart, these white petals should show yolk as a round ball, daisy fashion.  Slice green pepper for leaves.  Nice for potato salad.
  • Marshmallows will cut easily if the blades of the scissors are buttered.
  • Try putting marshmallows in the refrigerator and they won't stick to the scissors.
  • Perk up soggy lettuce by adding lemon juice to a bowl of cold water and soaking it for an hour in the refrigerator.
  • The darker, outer leaves of lettuce are higher in calcium, iron and Vitamin A.
  • Do not add salt to a lettuce salad until just before serving; salt makes the lettuce wilt and become tough.
  • Toss salads well so you can use less dressing which is healthier.
  • Prepare ingredients such as greens, chopped onions, celery, carrots and radishes ahead of time.  Store in separate airtight containers for quick use in a tossed salad.
  • When you will be doing extra cooking, keep shredded cheese, bread crumbs, and chopped onion on hand for use in salads, casseroles and vegetables.
  • Before grating cheese, brush vegetable oil on the grater and it will clean easier.
  • Remove the tops of carrots before storing.  Tops absorb moisture and nutrients from the carrots.
  • It is easy to remove the white membraine from oranges - for fancy desserts or salads - by soaking them in boiling water for 5 minutes before you peel them.
  • Lemon Jello, dissolved in 2 cups of hot apricot nectar with 1 teaspoon of grated lemon added for zip, makes a perfect base for jelled fruit salad.
