I was just explaining to the Sicilian why I put a slice of bread in his cookie tin. (Lemon thins from Ikea, if it matters. I can take or leave them, which is why I buy them, if you know what I mean.) The cookies were getting a bit stale. The bread took the stale out; I just replaced it. All is well.
The other magic kitchen trick that I know is this: if your soup / stew is too salty, add a raw potato. It will soak up the salt. (And that’s why if you ever eat a soup or stew that is too salty, it will be the potatoes that are the saltiest part.)
That’s all I got right now.
You got any tips for me? Non-kitchen tips are probably the most interesting.

Celery is a flavor sucker…. try to make it among the last things you put in anything.
I think.
See: I did not know that!
