That's
basically it. For produce, always try to buy, organic and super fresh!
If a recipe calls for tomatoes, and you go to the HFS and see unripe
tomatoes, don't get them. Do another recipe or use soaked sun-dried
tomatoes. Always use a sharp knife. Dull knives are dangerous. And...always
have fun in the kitchen!
