The Little Things - Week 4: Tomato Paste in a TUBE!


How many of you have ever used tomato paste in a recipe? Well, if you have ever made spaghetti sauce from scratch, chances are you have. Now how irritating is it to open that small 5 oz. can and use only 2 tablespoons of it. What do you do with the rest? The can is too large to use in its entirety in one recipe, yet leaves just enough to make you feel guilty for throwing the remainder away. So, what is a gal to do? "Oh, just put it in a Tupperware container" you say? Yes, one could do that, but then it just sits in the refrigerator forgotten until the mold begins to creep in. Well, I have the perfect solution for you! Tomato Paste in a TUBE! No fuss, no messy containers taking up space and no icky mold growing where it shouldn't. Just unscrew the cap, squeeze out the needed amount, pop the lid back on and back it goes in the fridge - Problem Solved!

Girl, I'm sold! Nothing like gleaning bits of genius from a master chef.

I hope we have the fancy shmancy store out here that carries that kind of genius stuff. After all, if it ain't WalMart or the neighborhood market, we ain't too grocery store fashion forward around these thar parts.
