Proper Storage for Open Canned Goods

By katrine2706

A can stored next to a jar fill of condensed milk.Transfer canned goods into a well sterilized jar or any clean container before storing them into your fridge. Never place cans of food in the fridge as it creates rust over time because of the moisture it creates, which tends to mix with the food.

Rustic Apple Galette

By attosa

finished Apple Galette on doily This is my mother's recipe for delicious apple galette that really suits the welcoming of the Autumn season. I love the flaky crust on the outside, with an inside that becomes almost custardy from the juices of the baked apples. It's so easy to make, it's a beginner's recipe, but the taste will have people thinking otherwise. Give it a try!

I have a Samsung wf330anw/xaa front loading washer, it will not spin properly.
