Tip: Lettuce is the #1 cause of food born illness…make sure you wash them twice….
Foods that do not go in the refrigerator
Tip…if you want to speed up the avocado that is not ripe…put it in a brown paper bag…and if you really want to speed up the process add a banana to the bag…bananas give off a gas called Ethylene. . Ethylene is A colorless flammable gas, C2H4, derived from natural gas and petroleum and used as a source of many organic compounds, in welding and cutting metals, to coloring citrus fruits and as an anesthetic. Bananas really should be stored in a basket by themselves.

I couldn’t be more honored to further this hallmark tradition”.
