Remove excess fat or grease in the soup

-
I have just made a pot of clear chicken soup for dinner and just realised that the soup is too greasy! Oh, nightmare! The soup is ruined for good! Here goes some tried and tested methods: Keep the fire going for the soup. Shift the pot slightly to one side of the burner. The excess fat will be concentrated to one side of the pot. Use a skimmer and skim the surface to remove excess fat Or Pop some cold lettuce leaves into the soup and remove them immediately. Or  Drop some ice cubes into a slotted spoon or ladle and skim the surface to remove excess fat. Or Drag a clean paper towel over the surface of the soup to soak up the fat. Refrigerate the soup to chill it. The excess fat congeals at the surface of the soup. When that happens, lift it off with a spoon. However, do note that refrigerating the soup takes hours (at least 3 hours) before the fat congeals.

Keep vegetables or fruits in the fridge fresh for a longer time

-
The tried and tested method is to keep the fruits and vegetables in foil bags. You need not rush out to the stores to buy them, or start googling for them in your favorite online store. You can recycle foil bags from potato chips bags (those that are non-oily after you finish the chips), oats or cereal refill packs in foil bags, coffee or other drinks refill foil bags. The shiny surfaces of the bags keep the vegetables or fruits from being frozen in the fridge. The other way would be to wrap them up in newspapers before keeping fresh fruits and vegetables in the fridge. However, be careful to keep the newspapers dry as damp newspapers will cause ice to form on the newspapers and result in fruits and vegetables rotting faster.
