bag or container. Later they
can be popped into muffins

eaten straight out of the bag

•Okra, which is at its peak
July through September,
makes an excellent stew thickener.
But it’s quite yummy on
the grill as well, brushed with
olive oil and lightly seasoned.
Just be sure you don’t wash it
until you are ready to use it.
There’s a natural protective
coating on it, and if you wash
it off, it’ll get slimy.
•Old socks can be fitted
around the head of an old
mop or Swiffer base. Spray
with cleaner and clean away.
When you are done, remove
the sock and launder.
•Dill planted near tomatoes
will draw caterpillars away
from the fruits. And it’s delicious.
•Potato salad will have more
flavor if you whisk together
all the dressing ingredients
and add it to the potatoes
when they are warm. The potatoes
will absorb the ingredients
better, and the flavor will
develop even more during
refrigeration.
