Household hints
I'm not much of a householder, so I don't have a lot of household hints. These are a couple of new findings:
1. A jeweler's saw makes a perfect cheese-cutter. The fine serrations and narrow blade get through cheese fast and easy, without pressure and without sticking in the middle. You need a raised cutting platform so the ends of the saw can go below the cheese; or just lift the cheese slightly. A plastic sandwich box is a good platform AND a good container for the slices.
2. Adding a spoon of cooked barley to the eggs before mixing makes an omelet less greasy and more tasty. The separate tastes and textures come through better.
