So, without a new recipe to post, I wanted to share this with you. Remember when I finally figured out how to store my Silpat mats? But drying them has still been an issue. They are so floppy! Well, the other night I was doing dishes, and in a fit of frustration, I did this:
Problem solved! I may have squealed a little. And jumped up and down.
And since you're going to get to come along for the crazy ride we're starting, here is the first picture of our house-building adventure:
It's an excavator! Digging a GIANT hole that the magic of construction will turn into our basement. This was very exciting--we started this whole thing back at the beginning of May, and we are finally getting into the building part. Whoo-hoo! Now, if I can survive the packing and moving, it will all be awesome...lol... ;)
You can also dry them by rolling them up with a dish cloth. It is a handy trick my mother-in-law taught me. :) Good luck with your move!
ReplyDeleteThat's a good, idea, too :) And Thanks!
DeleteI like your drying technique. I agree about those Silpats being floppy! They're floppier than pancakes in a breeze. A couple of times I've even resorted to hanging them up on pants hangers to dry; you know the kind of plastic hangers that come from the store, with the two clips? When they're finally dry (they seem to take a long time!) I store mine the same way you do, rolled up in cardboard tubes. *Good luck with your move!
ReplyDeleteLOL! You know, there have been times I've looked around for something I could clip them too, but I don't have anything that would work in my kitchen ;) And Thanks for the well wishes :)
