Hello All!

The past few of years I have had a quite a number of people ask me about recycling in different neighborhoods. Sometimes I had a quick answer. If there were  blue carts, then yes there is recycling in this area! I could not give an answer as to where to take recyclable products if there were no carts.

Here is a link to a website that I hope will resolve any unanswered questions about recycling! There is a ton of information here and links to other sites.

http://www.chicagorecycling.org/

If you know anyone who is considering buying, selling, or renting in Chicago please introduce us! I will be happy to help! 

Your referrals are greatly appreciated!

Choose the right tool

Use a good chef’s or serrated knife and a flexible cutting board.

Make four simple cuts

Cut off the top and bottom of the pineapple, then cut it into quarters.

Cut away the core

Now stand a quarter section on its end. One simple vertical cut eliminates the quarter’s core. Repeat for the other three quarters.

Begin slicing

Then lay each quarter section down, and slice vertically into whatever width chunks or slices you prefer.

 

Finish slicing

Then pull your knife along the inside of the skin (but not too close), and voilD: perfect pineapple without the knotholes or tough core.

Tip:While the fruit was in the store, all its sugar settled at the bottom, so turn it upside down in the refrigerator for about a half hour before cutting and serving. That way the sugar will flow back through the whole pineapple.

This great tip came from Right at Home the Johnson and Johnson news letter.
