Omelet Making Tip
Asparagus

Asparagus should be used as soon as possible as the sweet flavor dissipates over time. Spring is the peak season for asparagus and the stores have wonderful stocks of the delicious spears. Wrap asparagus spears in damp paper towels, place back in plastic bag closed loosely and place in vegetable compartment of refrigerator.


Omelet Making Tip
Mushroom

Store bought mushrooms should be removed from original packaging, wiped clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth and stored in a paper bag. Store mushrooms in a cool dry location.
