1. Uhu is salted at the beginning of cooking, and meat broth - at the end. 2. Jacket potatoes are salted at the beginning, and it is better to salt the porridge at the end of cooking. 3. At the beginning of cooking, you can’t salt the beans, so as not to double the cooking time, but the vegetables for a side dish, like carrots or cauliflower, will turn out to be tastier if you salt the water right away. 4. Salt promotes the release of juices, so it is not recommended to salt meat and vegetables long before cooking and eating - they can turn out to be rather dry. 5. Foods that contain bitterness in juice (zucchini, cabbage) can be salted before cooking to allow the juice to stand out and drain. 6. To speed up the digestion of solid foods, such as meat or beans, they are boiled in unsalted water. If it is more important not to let the product lose its shape, then it is better to salt the water.

Tequila takes pride of place in the window of any bar - it is drunk in its pure form, it goes to a host of classic and not only cocktails. Tequila is directly Mexico. What is tequila? Tequila (Spanish - “Tequila”) is a strong alcoholic beverage obtained by distilling juice from the core of an agave plant. Agave - this is a lily and the external similarity of this plant to a cactus has given rise to the opinion that tequila made specifically from a cactus. In addition, tequila is prepared from a special type of agave - blue, which grows only in the arid region of Mexico, mainly in the state of Jalisco, where the town of Tequila is located. This type of agave is one of 136 species of this plant, but only blue agave is suitable for tequila production. Types of tequila: - tequila silver (silver) - young white (silver) tequila without aging; - tequila blank or board (blanca, plata) - aged for up to 2 months; - tequila gold (gold) - gold tequila is not really aged, but just tinted to look like aged tequila; - reposado tequila - it is also called “rested”, aged for about one year; - añejo tequila - this is aged tequila, the aging time of which reaches 3- x years; - extra añejo tequila (extra añejo) - this category appeared only in October 2005 and suggests that the drink is aged more than 3 years. How to drink tequila Important: - Tequila should not be very cold - room temperature is what you need; - First of all, taste is important, not aroma, so do not warm tequila with your hands for a long time. 1. Method. You can drink tequila both in pure form and as part of cocktails. According to tradition, salt is applied to the back of the palm, at the base of the thumb and forefinger. The process is not complicated: lick the salt, drink a gulp of tequila, mostly 50 grams and bite a slice of lime. 2. Method. Lesser-known: before you drink tequila, you need to eat chili pepper. This tradition arose because of the bad quality of the first tequila, which was not the most pleasant to taste, and it had to be interrupted by something. Real gourmets drink aged tequila like whiskey - savoring it. In clubs, the process of drinking most often happens like this: a crunch is made on the shot, tequila is poured into it and a slice of lime is served. You need to lick the salt from the edge of the shot in a circular motion and immediately tilt the stack, then bite with lime. In general, it is difficult to say how to drink tequila correctly, because traditions are intertwined with modern bar culture. Most often, tequila is consumed as part of cocktails. Do not forget about the chasers with which the Mexicans drink this drink. Why drink tequila and how to bite it? Traditionally, tequila is used from small narrow glasses with a massive bottom, which are called “horses” or “cabalitos”. But often they don’t adhere to this rule and drink tequila from any glass. Tequila is usually drunk as an appetizer (before meals) and a digestif (after meals), but in no case should you drink with meals. It is not customary to have a bite - you can only drink it or a small piece of lime. In Mexico, it is also used as a flavoring, adding to tea and coffee.

Way 1. Reduce the clutter. It doesn’t matter how organized you are — a surplus of toys will always ensure your house is a mess waiting to happen. Fortunately, getting kids on board with the idea of ditching their stuff is a lot easier than it sounds. The trick is to make it an opportunity for them to define themselves and their interests. Encourage kids to make a pile of ”baby toys” to donate, and have them set aside any toys that no longer interest them, such as action figures from a forgotten TV show. Separating these toys will help them appreciate how much they’ve grown and rediscover the toys they love. Way 2. Choose toys wisely. Since you’ll probably be stuck with them for a while, it pays to be picky when it comes to buying toys. To make toys more meaningful to your child, only buy them for holidays, special occasions and rewards — don’t shy away from asking relatives to do the same. Avoid toys that are poorly made (cheap), not age-appropriate, unnecessarily large, pointless or anything tied to a movie — unless it’s that one you’ve been playing on repeat every day. The best toys are versatile, encourage creativity and can easily be expanded upon, such as Legos, wooden train tracks and dollhouse sets. Way 3. Leave some toys out of reach. If you’re constantly finding play dough and puzzle pieces in the sofa cushions, it’s time to put them on the top shelf of the closet. Designating these messy toys as ”family toys” will give you more quality time with your child instead of scrubbing pen marks off the curtains. Also, try to set aside a tote of toys, games and puzzles for rainy days. This ensures you’ll always have a trick up your sleeve for sick days or when a boring relative visits. Way 4. Give kids ownership. Picking up toys doesn’t have to be boring. Babies, toddlers and big kids alike can have fun organizing and picking up, just as long as it’s not a negative experience. This means you should provide enough time for enjoyment without resorting to counting ”1, 2, 3” or shouting empty threats. A great thing about setting aside extra time for picking up is that you and your child can do fun things like scoop up blocks with a blanket or deliver toys across the house via tricycle. If you make it fun enough, your kid will eventually pick up without even being asked. Way 5. Give every toy a home. Without a simple organizational system, picking up can be a major headache. Don’t throw everything into one big toy box; there’s a better way. Buy a series of matching plastic bins and line them up along the wall where your child can easily put away and retrieve toys on his own. Designate one box for Legos, one for stuffed animals, one for train tracks … you get the idea. Use stacking plastic boxes for smaller toys like matchbox cars and dolls. Organize them further by storing puzzle pieces, doll clothes and other annoyances in Ziploc bags.

We see ordinary cabbage very often - there is nothing unusual in it. But Romanesco is a completely different matter: broccoli takes the form of a fractal (a complex geometric shape that looks almost the same at all scales of the factor). Thus, each individual piece of broccoli consists of small flowers, and they imitate the fractal shape to perfection, which is obtained from even smaller ones. Romanesco is a mathematical miracle and resembles the Fibonacci series: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34 and beyond. This is a sequence of numbers that add up to the next number. But how broccoli mimics a series of complex numbers. At the largest magnification, Romanesco turns out to be a spiral that starts from a central point. All small flowers are located around this spiral. In essence, this is a series of arcs whose radii are equal to the numbers in the Fibonacci chain - the “living” Fibonacci spiral. If you tear off an integral part of the inflorescence, you will see that you have in your hands a mini version of broccoli with your own mini flowers. Whatever part of the fractal you consider, when you increase it, you will still see an identical picture. Oddly enough, such an “ideal” vegetable is found in nature. A typical Romanesco inflorescence weighs between 300 and 600 grams. And since the close relatives of the vegetable are cauliflower and Brussels sprouts, it is rich in folic acid, potassium, vitamin C and fiber. Cooking this cabbage is also not difficult: all over the world in most cases it is cooked like broccoli and only in Italy there are special recipes whose secrets are not disclosed. If you try it, you will feel a taste reminiscent of broccoli, but with a special nutty note and a more delicate texture.
