Learn 5 things you should know before you head to the grocery store or farmers market and pick out some plums. Plums are generally in season somewhere in the United States from the end of May all the way into October. Most of the plums that I find in the grocery store are from California. They ship plums all over the country, so there is a good chance you are finding California plums in your grocery store. The California plums start to ripen usually in late May. The season goes until around the start of September.

The One Thing I Always Check Before Buying Cherries

Learn what you always want to look for when it comes to buying cherries from the store or farmers market. Whenever I am shopping for cherries the number one thing I look for is color. This will determine whether the cherries will be sweet and flavorful or sour and bland. I want to start by talking about the bags of dark cherries that are the most commonly found cherries in grocery stores nationwide. Cherries that are sold in the stores as "dark cherries" or "red cherries", should be dark in color. They should be closer to black in color than red. Often you won't find all the cherries in the bag to be exactly the same color, but the majority of them should be dark.

10 Things I Clean Every Week (That Most People Forget)

I used to think that cleaning meant vacuuming the floors, wiping the counters, and scrubbing the bathroom. Then I started noticing all the little things I touched every single day that almost never made it onto my cleaning list. Once I added these often-forgotten spots to my weekly routine, my home felt noticeably fresher—and it only added a few extra minutes to my cleaning time.

I stopped boiling green beans after making them this way

For years I boiled green beans until they went soft and a little sad. Then I tried them the Southern way, cooked down with bacon and onions, and I have not gone back since. This is the green bean recipe that turns a plain side dish into something people actually ask about at dinner. The bacon grease does all the work, giving the beans a smoky richness that boiling water never could.

Why marijuana sometimes cracks people up

The author used artificial intelligence in the crafting of this report. Back in the 1990s before weed was legal in most places the product sometimes came in a compressed brick. You would need an ice pick to break up the weed, which also had a lot of seeds. It definitely felt like a Sativa and this brick weed never failed to tickle your funny bone.

I bring this cucumber salad to every cookout and it always disappears first

Every summer it's the same thing. I set out the burgers, the mac and cheese, all of it, and the cucumber salad is gone before anyone touches the rest. There's no mayo in this one, just a warm vinegar dressing poured right over crisp cucumbers and onions. It tastes almost like homemade pickles, but with more crunch and a lot less work.
