Tip of the week
Cooking:

If pizza sauce (or gravies) has become very thin, thicken by adding 2 slices of day old bread, run in a mixer to make very fine crumbs. Using too much corn flour may make the sauce paste tasty.
Health:
To avoid food borne illness, follow safe food handling rules. Never eat uncooked meat, fish, poultry or eggs. Never eat leftovers that have been sitting at room temperature for more than one hour, and wash your hands thoroughly before preparing food, after using the restroom and before eating.

Cookery term
Straining:

Separating liquids from solids by passing them through a sieve or through muslin.
