A Food Storing Tip
Potatoes	As soon as you purchase potatoes, pour hot boiling water over the potatoes and dry with a towel. This prevents potatoes from sprouting.
Other Tips
Yeast test	If you are not sure if yeast is still active or not, you can test by dissolving 1 teaspoon sugar into the 1/4 warm water then adding 2-1/4 teaspoons yeast and stirring. Wait 10 minutes. If the yeast water level reaches to 1/2 of a measuring cup, the yeast is still active.
