In honor of Cinco de Mayo:

 

Whenever we'd heat up taco shells the one at the front of the line would fold down from the heat so you couldn't get stuff enough taco fixings in it and/or it would break when you tried to add too much.

 

Now we put a balled up wad of aluminum foil in the lead taco so it holds it's shape.

If you put cheese in the shell before the meat, it will act like glue to keep the two halves together, even if they break during the assembly process, assuming the ground beef is still hot enough to melt the cheddar.

For stuff like frozen vegetables it might be their seconds. Friend of mine worked at Dannon, for stuff like yogurt they just swap out the containers, wouldn't make sense to clean out the vats. I would think its that way for most liquids.

It is not always true.  I consulted for a company that made their own brand non dairy creamer and also made for Sam's Club.  The Sam's Club was higher quality as it had more butter fat but was cheaper.

Everyone loves a good life hack.  Share them here.

 

Earlier tonight, I realized I had no buttermilk to make my chicken tenders.  1 TBSP of white vinegar in a measuring cup, then added enough milk to make 1 full cup.  Let it set for 10 minutes .... BOOM ... buttermilk.

 

What life hacks can you share?

I use 1/2 greek yogurt and 1/2 milk in the same circs.

I don't like the taste of the vinegar or the texture of the curdled milk, but obviously it worked for you.

Here's my life hack:

 

Got silver something-or-other (money clip, cuff links, tie pin) that's all tarnished when you haul it out for a dress event? 
Rub on a little ordinary toothpaste, let it sit while you brush your teeth, then rub a bit with a damp paper towel, rinse, and buff with a towel or hankie.  Presto!  All shiny!

I offering this one from a friend: At supermarkets where they have self check-out you can purchase, oh say, Honeycrisp apples at a deep discount by typing in the code for a much cheaper variety, like McIntosh.

Around here, they have tiny bar codes on the produce.

 

But I go to the lines with human checkers.  Their kids gotta eat.

When I was in the service I took a  Betty Crocker easy bake job as a school bus monitor..the kids always wanted to touch my buckle...back then ,the Corps really,really frowned upon that.

Mine's reheating cold pizza so that the crust is crispy and the cheese is evenly melted. It involves a skillet, aluminum foil and a splash of water ... (Method 1 in the aforementioned link).

Easiest guacamole recipe ever.

>Mash avocados

>Mix with a couple of tablespoons of salsa. (I prefer Pace Picante.)

>Eat.

When a screw is loose because the wood is stripped, remove the screw, wrap a little masking tape around it, and screw it back in. The tape will fill in the gap.

That sounds disgusting!  If you simply add some lime juice, cilantro and garlic, you'll have real guacamole.

In that case, I'd recommend putting the masking tape over a person's mouth (or keyboard.)

Agreed. I like to add a little Frank's Red Hot to mine, but I add Frank's to almost everything. It's my special ingredient in a Bloody Mary.

When it comes to extended warranties, whether it's electronics, automotives, furniture, whatever, the numbers favor whoever is issuing the warranty. There may be a few times that you wish you had purchased the extended warranty, but over the course of a lifetime, you're better off never purchasing them. For the most part, whatever is going to go wrong will happen within the initial warranty period anyways.
