For years, boiling corn on the cob meant watching a pot, timing it just right, and still ending up with kernels that were sometimes tough and sometimes mushy. Switching to a slow cooker milk bath solved that problem completely. The corn comes out tender and sweet every time, and the stove stays free for everything else on the menu.

Before You Buy Cucumbers, Here Are 5 Things You Should Know

Before you head to the store to purchase some cucumbers, here are 5 things that you should know. 1. What Types of Cucumbers Can You Find at the Store?. There are 3 main types of cucumbers that you can find in grocery stores these days. The classic cucumber is long, green, mostly straight, but slightly curved. It is what most of us think of first when we think of cucumbers. They have small seeds on the inside that aren't fully developed. If the cucumber had been allowed to continue to grow on the vine, the seeds would be further developed and ready to be the next cucumber.

The One Thing I Always Check Before Buying Cherries

Learn what you always want to look for when it comes to buying cherries from the store or farmers market. Whenever I am shopping for cherries the number one thing I look for is color. This will determine whether the cherries will be sweet and flavorful or sour and bland. I want to start by talking about the bags of dark cherries that are the most commonly found cherries in grocery stores nationwide. Cherries that are sold in the stores as "dark cherries" or "red cherries", should be dark in color. They should be closer to black in color than red. Often you won't find all the cherries in the bag to be exactly the same color, but the majority of them should be dark.

I Always Add This One Unique Thing To My Tuna Salad, and My Family Loves It

Cucumber tuna salad only turns watery for one reason: too much moisture from the cucumbers or the tuna. Mini cucumbers keep seed content low, and if regular cucumbers are used instead, scooping out the seeds first prevents the salad from getting soggy. Draining the tuna completely before mixing does the same job on the other side of the bowl.

The Slow Cooker Chicken That Fills The House With Sweet Garlic Comfort

Tender chicken thighs slowly cook in a rich honey garlic sauce that becomes glossy, savory, and packed with deep flavor by dinnertime. As the hours pass, the garlic softens into the sauce, the honey caramelizes with soy sauce and seasonings, and the chicken becomes so juicy it practically falls apart with a fork. Every bite is coated in a sticky, silky glaze that strikes the perfect balance between sweet and savory, while the slow cooking keeps the meat incredibly moist. Sprinkle on fresh green onions and sesame seeds just before serving for a pop of freshness and a little crunch that finishes the dish beautifully.

What to Know About Sleep on a Cruise Ship (Beds, Noise, and More)

There’s one aspect of your cruise that’s going to take up the single biggest chunk of your time during the vacation, yet no one really talks about it. We’re talking, of course, of sleeping. For a weeklong cruise you could spend upwards of 60 hours — roughly one-third of the entire trip — in bed. That’s considerably more time than you’ll spend at the pool, eating, or even in port.
