🍉 Here are some creative watermelon cutting styles you can try 🍉 🍉🍉Watermelon Sticks: Cut the watermelon in half. Place one half face down and make vertical slices about 1-2 inches apart. Rotate 90 degrees and make additional vertical slices, creating stick-like pieces that are easy to grab and eat. 🍉🍉Watermelon Pizza: Slice the watermelon into thick, round slices. Cut each round slice into wedges like a pizza. Optionally, add toppings like berries, mint leaves, or a drizzle of honey to make it even more fun. 🍉🍉Watermelon Balls: Use a melon baller to scoop out small, round pieces of watermelon. Serve them in a bowl, or mix with other fruit balls for a colorful fruit salad. 🍉🍉Watermelon Popsicles: Cut the watermelon into triangles with the rind still attached. Insert a wooden popsicle stick into the rind. Freeze the pieces for a refreshing treat. 🍉🍉Watermelon Basket: Cut the watermelon in half and hollow out one half to use as a bowl. Fill the hollowed-out half with watermelon balls and other fruits for a stylish fruit salad presentation. 🍉🍉Watermelon Cubes: Cut the watermelon into slices, then cut each slice into even cubes. Stack the cubes to create a fun, Jenga-like presentation. 🍉🍉Watermelon Hedgehog: Cut the watermelon in half and score the flesh in a grid pattern without cutting through the rind. Push the cubes out slightly to create a spiky appearance, similar to a hedgehog. 🍉🍉These methods are fun and make watermelon easier to eat, especially for parties or gatherings. #Watermelon #Fruitscutting #watermelonstick #watermelonpizza #watermelonballs #watermelonbusket #watermeloncubes #cuttingskill #Fruitexpert Follow 👉 Nandan Dinda for more

When painting a room, it's not a bad idea to keep some left-over paint for future touch-ups. But gallon sized cans take up a lot of space. Instead, use clear glass jars (like for pasta sauce, baby food, etc.) to store some for later use. They'er easier to store an make finding th color you're looking for a breeze. • #HomeownersGuide • #HomeImprovementHacks • #HomeownerTips • #Homeownership

So here’s what to avoid while holding a wine glass: • Don’t hold by the bowl – it warms the wine and leaves fingerprints. • Avoid gripping too tightly – it looks tense and risks slipping. • No forceful clinking – gently touch the bell to avoid chipping. • Don’t swirl excessively – it can spill and seem showy. • Avoid using the glass as a pointer – it’s distracting and unrefined. • Keep fingers off the rim – it’s unhygienic and leaves smudges. • Don’t hold with both hands – it appears awkward. • Avoid carrying multiple glasses – it risks spills and looks ungraceful. • No placing on unstable surfaces – it can tip over easily. • Don’t talk with the glass close to your mouth – it prevents spills and maintains poise. 🍷These tips will help you handle your wine glass with style and grace!🍷

Top tip: cook your eggs on a medium heat, especially if making scrambled eggs or an omelette. This gives them a much creamier, fluffier texture, AND you're much less likely to burn them!

What are the principles of plating ? Fundamentals for plating start with serving foods on plates that are the correct temperature: hot food on pre-heated plates and cold food on chilled plates. Establish a focal point and compose the plate based on a central component. Create variety in shapes, textures, colors, and flavors.

One last ice cocktail for April and it'll be just in time for the event that puts this cocktail on the map, the Kentucky Derby and the Mint Julep. Crushed ice makes this drink, but regular old refrigerator crushed ice wont be fine enough to bring out the best in this cocktail. For this we need tools, mainly a Lewis bag and a mallet (rolling pins works swimmingly in a pinch). Lewis bags are typically canvas bags paired with a wooden mallet for crushing larger cubes into a smaller form. Keep pounding and the smaller that ice gets. For the mint julep we want a pretty fine ice, not shaved ice fine but close. Smash that ice up but be sure to place everything on a heavy cutting board to protect work surfaces. Below is a basic Mint Julep recipe, but there is no reason not to riff on it. Add a strawberry. top with a splash of ginger ale or bitters, use a Rye or higher proof bourbon or a splash of liqueur in place of the sugar. The Mint Julep 2oz Bourbon 1tsp powdered sugar Handful of mint leaves 2tsp water Mint sprig for garnish In a julep glass (rocks works too), lightly muddle the mint, water and sugar together. Add bourbon and pack glass with crushed ice. Stir until super chilled and frosty. Top with more ice to create a dome and garnish with a mint sprig. Bet the trifecta and cover the bar tab when you win. #designsketching #industrialdesign #productdesign #blueprints #cocktails #cocktailporn #lightingdesign #lightingporn #qlighting #qlightingdefined #qlsnc #craftcocktails #mintjulep #kentuckyderby

🌟 Cleaning Hack Alert! 🌟 Transform your glass stove from grimy to gleaming with these simple steps! 🌈✨ Let it cool: Safety first! Ensure your stove is completely cool before you start. Wipe down: Use a damp cloth to remove any surface debris and spills. A gentle touch is key to prevent scratches. Baking soda & vinegar magic: Sprinkle baking soda generously over the surface, then spray with white vinegar. Watch it fizz! Wait for the reaction to die down. Gentle scrub: With a soft sponge, gently scrub in a circular motion. This combo lifts tough stains without damaging the glass. Final polish: Wipe away any residue with a clean, damp cloth.
