••••FOOD TIP••••
*A roast with a bone in will cook faster than a boneless roast. The bone carries the heat to the inside more quickly.
••••FOOD TIPS••••
*When cooking vegetables that grow above above ground, the rule of thumb is to boil them without a cover.
*Never soak vegetables after slicing them; they will lose much of their nutritional value.

••••VALENTINE TIP••••
*Cheery Cherries*
Canned pie cherries are usually not as red as nature intended due to their processing. Add a drop or two of red food coloring to a cherry pie or cobbler mixture to help bring back nature's blush.
There are two main groups of cherries--sweet and tart. The larger of the two are the firm, heart shaped sweet cherries.
