Comparing Apples with Avocados?

A small snippet on the BBC news on food storage.

Can't locate a URL yet, but did note a few things down.

Apples - in fridge
Avocados next to banana - for those who can so indulge in such combos

Broccoli - keep fresh

Cheese - cool larder

Eggs - larder - point side down

Jam - scrape off mould

Mushroom - take off plastic

Potatoes - dark, cool

Tomatoes - larder

We're advised to take our lead from food shops, but honestly I have not seen much evidence of most of the above frankly!

Can Can.... er... 't?

The internet can be useful. Especially at putting you right quickly.

Just now I shared a reuse 'tip' from the site, which has proven quite popular, on another site seeking such.

It's a lid from a cream pot that clips on larger food cans, as a substitute for the bought variety.

Seems I may have committed a boo-boo.

Here I was interested in reuse, when 'elf & safety might trump that.

Here's the Food Standards view on it.

I think, for our purposes, we'll stick with the 1/2 day window in the can. We've done a lot worse.
