Helpful cooking hint #5

I thought up another one. Woo hoo!

As some regular readers may know we have been drinking instant coffee for a few weeks, until we decide what kind of coffee maker to purchase.

This morning it dawned on me to put a pinch of cinnamon into the cup on top of the instant coffee, to try to boost the flavor. It didn't taste bad at all. Just don't put too much. Just a smidge, a dash, a snitch, of cinnamon will do.

I'll try not to go two more weeks before coming up with another hint.

Helpful cooking hint #4

When frying something, and you don't have a special doohicky to block the grease from splattering all over the stove top, cover the remaining burners with pot lids.
Doing that will help to keep some of the grease off the other burners.
Woo hoo! I came up with another hint. Hope it's helpful.

Helpful kitchen hint #2

When pouring coffee, always put the milk or creamer in the mug first. That way when you pour the coffee into the mug it will be nicely blended and you won't need to stir it or dirty a spoon.

I couldn't call this a cooking hint, because one doesn't really "cook" coffee when one brews up a pot.

Can you guess I'm not too good in the kitchen? I do plan to get better at it, though.
