   • Remove unwanted window tint from a car or other window.
   • Fix a broken photo frame. Use it to fix broken legs on photo frames.
   • Cover a hole in a wall.
   • Repair a tow rope.
   • Use it to replace a broken shower curtain grommet. Try to only use it on the liner so that it is less obvious.
   • Fix a radio antenna.
3. 

   Get crafty with duct tape. There are many amazing things you can make from duct tape. Here are just some of the ideas:

   • Make a duct tape bookmark
   • Make a duct tape tote

   • Make a duct tape bullwhip
   • Make a duct tape bowl
   • Make a duct tape blanket
   • Make a duct tape scrap pillow
   • Make a duct tape dress form.
4. 

   Use it for nifty help around the home. There are lots of things duct tape can do to help you in the house, from storage to perfect placement of items.

   • Use it to stop people from tripping over cords, wires and cables.
   • Hang Christmas decorations with it. This is better than sticking pins or banging nails into the wall.
   • Hang an unframed picture.
   • Keep picture frames even. Place looped duct tape behind the frame against the wall to prevent the frame from being knocked crooked.
   • Make a whiteboard (dry erase board) with clear duct tape and paper.
   • Keep ornaments in place. Make a duct tape loop of the right size for the base of an ornament, stick it down on the surface and position the ornament in place over it.

   • Make a duct tape bracelet
   • Make a duct tape rose tulip

Video

Tips

• Obviously, duct tape items won’t be to everyone’s liking and the expense of duct tape needs to be taken into account when making large items that could be just as easily purchased for next-to-nothing at the dollar store. Then again, the thrill of making something yourself as well as the reality that dollar stores don’t ever charge all the hidden costs of endless waste and resource usage does tend to make doing-it-yourself a more worthy pastime.

Warnings

• Duct tape removal can also remove paint and other surfaces. Be sure that you don’t mind this happening before using any of the surface application methods. Alternately, use something like tea tree oil or eucalyptus oil to help soften the adhesive before trying to remove.

September is National Mushroom Month, but you can enjoy them year round. How to Preserve Fresh Mushrooms

Fresh mushrooms purchased from a store or harvested from the wild can be used many months later if stored correctly. There are many different kinds of mushrooms and many different ways to preserve them, so perfecting the method will require some trial and error, but the basic methods outlined here should work for the more common types of mushrooms available from fruit and vegetable suppliers.

Steps

Freezing cooked mushrooms^[1]

1. 

   Wash the mushrooms thoroughly in cold water.

2. 

   Trim off the ends of the stems if necessary. If the mushrooms are larger than 1 inch / 2.5 cm across, either slice them, or cut them into quarters.

3. Decide whether you will steam or fry the mushrooms. Mushrooms can be steamed or heated in fat in a fry pan. The deciding factor might be taste preference, or your desire to keep the mushrooms longer, as steamed mushrooms will keep about three months longer than those cooked in fat.

Steaming mushrooms

1. 

   Treat the mushrooms to prevent discoloration. Mushrooms that are going to be steamed will retain a better color if they are given an anti-darkening treatment first. To do this, dip the prepared mushrooms for 5 minutes in a solution containing 1 teaspoon lemon juice or 1 1/2 teaspoons of citric acid mixed into a pint of water.

2. 

   Steam the mushrooms. The steaming time is as follows:

   • Whole mushrooms – 5 minutes
   • Buttons or quarters – 3 1/2 minutes
   • Slices – 3 minutes.
3. 

   Cool promptly on removal by removing from the steam. Drain and package. Leave 1/2 an inch (1.27 cm) of headspace.

4. 

   Seal and freeze. Steamed mushrooms will freeze for up to one year.^[2]

Frying mushrooms

1. 

   Use a frying pan to heat. Heat small quantities of mushrooms in margarine or butter in an open frying pan until almost done. Cool by air or set the pan in which the mushrooms were cooked in cold water. Pack into containers, leaving 1/2-inch / 1.27 cm headspace. Seal and freeze. Fat-fried mushrooms will last for up to nine months in the freezer.^[3]

Blanching and Freezing^[4]

1. 

   Wash the mushrooms.

2. 

   Cut the mushrooms into slices or quarters if required.

3. 

   Drain the mushrooms. Then plunge them directly into a pot of boiling water for 1 to 2 minutes after the water boils.

4. 

   Remove the blanched mushrooms by tipping into a sieve or a colander.

5. 

   Plunge the mushrooms into cold water to stop the cooking process. Drain.

6. 

   Place them in plastic freezer containers. Leave a little headspace.

7. 

   Seal and freeze.

Freezing uncooked morel or morel-type mushrooms

A new season morel, freshly picked

Some mushrooms will thaw into a soggy mush if preserved in the manner outlined next. However, this may work with some kinds of mushrooms that have a certain thick and coarser texture, like morels.^[5]

1. 

   Wash a quantity of fresh morel mushrooms under running tap water. The mushrooms can be sliced according to preference, or preserved whole.

2. Add a teaspoon of vegetable oil to the mushrooms and mix well.
3. Place the washed whole or sliced mushrooms into a plastic freezer bag. Place in the freezer and freeze for as long as required, for up to three months.
4. 

   Thaw. When required, remove from the freezer and cook. No thawing will be necessary. Just add the contents into a cooking pan until all moisture and excess water evaporates, creating your mushroom dish from scratch.

Duxelles

A chef uses Duxelles to fill mushroom crostini

Duxelles is a finely chopped or minced mixture of mushrooms with additions such as onions, herbs, and butter.^[6] This method provides a neat “small storage” solution for keeping mushrooms but it is very short term – approximately one week in the refrigerator and up to one month in the freezer.^[7]

1. Wash and dry the mushrooms.
2. Chop or mince the mushrooms finely.
3. Cook the chopped mushrooms and onions with butter in a skillet until softened. Add fresh herbs of your choice (make sure that these are finely minced or chopped too). Parsley is a traditional addition.
4. Add a splash of wine or sherry for extra flavor.
5. Freeze in a container. Add the date so that you know when to use it by.
6. Use to add zip to cooked chicken breasts, or in cream of mushroom soup.

Video

Warnings

• Always be sure that you are using edible mushrooms before cooking, preserving, and eating them. If there is any doubt, do not consume them.

Things You’ll Need

• Steamer or fry pan
• Cutting board and knife
• Bowl
• Colander or sieve
• Containers suitable for freezing
• Plastic freezer bags, or similar sealing agent

Going away to school? Here’s how to stock up your college pantry

College (or university) is a time in your life when you are learning many things. Outside your academic studies, college may be when you learn to live on your own, to keep up your own home, and so on. A big part of that is learning to cook for yourself, and it is easiest to cook regularly if you keep some ingredients on hand. That’s where your pantry comes in.

Steps

1. Set aside some space in or near your kitchen to store food. If you kitchen does not have any obvious pantry space built in or is short on overall storage, see if a bookcase nearby (perhaps in a coat closet) or other movable storage could work.
   • Try to find a space that is clean, dry, cool, and dark for your pantry. The cabinet just over your stove may not be the best choice.
2. Buy items as you need and use them. This means that you will acquire the items in your pantry gradually (thus avoiding any major, up-front expenses) and it also means that you will buy only those things you are prepared to use.
   • Consider bringing some things from home to get you off to a “free” and easier start. Get your parents’ permission first, though.
3. 

   Start simple.

   Start with the basics. Spaghetti sauce in jars and boxed pasta are easy staples to start with. Even when you move on to slightly more sophisticated meals, they’ll be handy things to keep around for that day when things get especially busy.

4. Include other sources of starch. Rice, flour, oatmeal, and potatoes are all starches that will keep for a good long while in the pantry. While you most likely will not eat these foods alone, they are all good for extending other meals.
   • Store flour, rice, oatmeal, and the like in airtight (and bug-tight) canisters or jars. If you don’t have dedicated canisters yet, you can save large jars from items you buy.
5. Have dry storage for things like onions and potatoes. There’s generally no need to refrigerate either, so long as the space is relatively cool and dry and has good air circulation. A basket or bin with holes in it will help.
   • Potatoes should be stored away from a light source, to discourage sprouting.
6. 

   Canned tomatoes

   Include some canned goods. It’s generally healthier and far cheaper to use fresh vegetables and make your own soups, but having a few cans on hand for the busy moments doesn’t hurt. You can also stock cans of things like tomato sauce, beans, and mushrooms, if you like to use those in cooking.

7. 

   Include some breads. You can buy regular bread, or you can buy food like pitas or tortillas. Some tortilla chips can also go well with food like tacos and chili.

8. 

   Baking supplies.

   Decide whether you’ll do any baking. If you intend to bake, you will need baking staples like flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.

9. 

   Freezer

   Use your freezer as part of your pantry. Frozen meats are very convenient, especially if you have a microwave in which to defrost them. (Otherwise, defrost in the fridge a day in advance.) Frozen vegetables may not be quite as good as fresh ones, but you may find that they are easier to keep on hand than fresh.

   • If you love smoothies, you might consider getting frozen fruit, too, or freezing your own fruit. You can also learn how to freeze cooked foods and ready-to-cook foods for yourself, for quick meals later.
10. 

    Your spice rack is a key part of your pantry.

    Start to build a selection of seasonings, according to what you use. These are herbs and spices, as well as the ubiquitous salt and pepper, and include condiments like soy sauce, ketchup, and vinegar.

    • Seasonings add flavors to your cooking. Some can be fairly expensive, so start with one jar of spices at a time.
    • You don’t need every spice; just the ones you use. Find out what your recipes call for and just buy that.
    • Look for a few seasoning mixes, or mix your own. Italian seasoning is generally just a mix of oregano, basil, rosemary and parsley. A jar of chili powder or taco seasoning can dress up some basic meat and veggies so they’ll taste good in a tortilla. Do watch for added salt in seasoning mixes, though.
    • Some grocery and health food stores may provide samples of spice mixes for free. This is a good opportunity to get a sample package or two spice mixes.
    • 

      Bulk foods and spices

      Look around for a source of spices in bulk or in packets, rather than in little, glass jars. You may want to buy spices the first time in those glass jars, but refill them with spices in less expensive packaging.

11. Supplement your pantry with regular trips to the store to get perishable foods, such as eggs, dairy, and fresh fruits and veggies. If you plan a bit, you may be able to keep these trips to about once per week.
12. Learn which ingredients last longer than others. All foods will eventually spoil, but some things will last longer than others. Buy your quantities according to how quickly you use each item.
13. 

    Shopping day.

    Use up and replace the items in your pantry. As you use something up, or get close, put it on your shopping list, as long as it is something you use regularly. Keep a shopping list pad near the pantry with a pencil, so that’s it’s really easy to update missing ingredients.

14. Keep the ingredients around for one or two pantry meals that you can do if you haven’t had the time to go shopping. Spaghetti and tacos are two fairly easy choices.

Tips

• Make your own list. The suggestions here are examples, but you will discover your own cooking style, and it may differ from the list here.
• Having a pantry and cooking for yourself can both save tremendous amounts of money compared to buying prepared foods or going out to eat in a restaurant. You’ll also know more about your food if you cook it yourself. However busy you are, it’s likely in college that you’ll still have more time than money, so invest some time in yourself and learn to cook.
• You may notice that this article does not suggest stocking up on TV dinners and prepared foods. You may want to keep a couple of cans of soup around for term paper nights or finals week, but you shouldn’t rely on them all the time. They’re costly and often high in salt and additives. They also have much more packaging than other foods. It is also a good idea to get into the habit of making your own meals, so that you’re aware of how easy it is to cook. The best way to learn to cook is to practice often.
• Part of keeping a pantry is trial and error. You will have to find your own balance and your own cooking style to know what to keep in your pantry.
• Every now and then, look in the back of your pantry. See if there are things there that are spoiled. Just as importantly, see if there are things that are still good that you could use up before they spoil.
• Buy a little at a time, especially at first. Once you’ve learned how you cook and what you cook, you can keep appropriate quantities of the right ingredients on hand or simply buy a little extra each time you go grocery shopping.
• Prepared cereal is an easy thing to put in a pantry, but it’s also one of the most costly and heavily packaged things you can eat regularly, especially considering what it is. Challenge yourself to come up with alternate breakfasts, at least a few times a week. Also, try your own additions to plain oatmeal (almost any fresh or dried fruit is good), or learn to make muesli or granola yourself.
• Don’t rule out dried beans. They may take longer to cook, but most of it is not your time, and they are healthy and inexpensive.

Warnings

• Throw away spoiled foods. You may make a point to catch things while they’re still good next time, but a little bit of money is far less costly in the long run than food poisoning.
• Learn about and practice safe food handling, especially as regards meats and eggs.

Things You’ll Need

• Pantry space set aside
• Ingredients as outlined above
• Shopping list and pencil
• Carrying bags
