Tips and hints #1

When you have a large onion and you don't need that much for your recipe, chop the whole thing anyway.  Put what you don't need in a ziplock sandwich bag, squeeze the air out, seal it, and toss it in the freezer.  It will be there for those times when you've either run out of onion or don't have the time/inclination to chop an onion while you're cooking.  I call it "emergency onion".  Do the same thing with bell peppers.

When you're cooking things on the grill, don't dirty two plates trying to seperate raw and cooked food.  Wrap one plate in plastic wrap or aluminium foil, and put the raw meat on that.  Once you get the meat on the grill, remove the wrap, throw it away, and voila!  You have a clean plate to put your cooked meat on!
