We had a bottle of bleach, unopened on a shelf that was apparently two (or more) years old (we missed it in the rotation). The bottle imploded and the bleach leaked all over the cabinet. We talked to the manufacturer and they said unopened bleach only has a shelf life of about 2 years. Just...

BF just brought me a bunch of apples from his apple tree! I want to can them. I would like to can them when I am on vacation September 21st. What would be the best way to store them until then? If it makes a difference, they were picked, not on the ground. Thanks!

A while back, i followed a food drying thread here & got some good tips. One was a link to a you tube drying tutorial. the person on that site recommended some kind of packet to put in canning jars w/ dried herbs, etc. It absorbs so much moisture that the canning lid will actually seal on the...

For those of use who save foil for reuse, how do you store it? I don't have any extra space in the drawers in my kitchen, so I keep the foil in a plastic zip lock bag in the cupboard. The bag falls out nearly every time I open the cupboard. It is so annoying. There has to be a better way, but...
