MAKING RANCH DRESSING

Dressing is getting higher and higher as more people are starting to eat more healthy. This recipe works real good and it may not be as good as Hidden Valley Ranch, it is good and most of us have the ings. for it all ready.

5 Tablespoons Dried Minced Onions
7 Teaspoons Parsley Flakes, crushed
3 Teaspoons Sea Salt or less
11/2 Teaspoons Garlic Powder

Mix all of this together and store in a pint jar.
For making the dressing: Mix 2 Tablespoons of the dry mix with 1 cup Kraft Mayonnaise or any other type mayo. Then add 1 cup buttermilk or sour cream. Buttermilk is the best and if you don't have buttermilk just use 1 cup regular milk and 1 tablespoon lemon juice or 1/2 tablespoon of real lemon and stir good and let sit until milk thickens.
For making dip: Mix 2 tablespoons dry mix with 2 cups sour cream.
Mix up the dressing or dip a few hours before using to let the flavors blend. Store in a air tighter container with a lid on. Keep ref.

KEEP THE FIZZ IN SODA POP

These days with a carton of soda pop costing  as much as a good t-bone steak or a gallon of milk you have to have a way to try and not waste it.
 If you you buy 2 liters of soda most time after you have drunk a cup or two out of it is goes flat. But if you will put the lid back on it , tight but not real, real tight and then shake it good  even if it does fizz it will get hard again and not go flat for at least 2 weeks.  Even a 16 oz. pop will keep by just doing this one simple thing.
But do not shake and shake as the bottle will get to tight and may explode. Let it settle down and do not take the lid back off after shaking it for a few minutes. When taking the lid back off to reuse it make sure you untighten the lid easy.
I have tried this many times and it does work even with the 16oz. sodas or pops as we Ky. people call it. You can keep a empty 16oz. bottle to use if you have a can of pop and just drink half of it. Pour it into the bottle , put the lid back on and shake it. I found this online somewhere in the computer world and gave it a try as we are always wasting pop and it will work. I have told many people about this and they can't believe that they have wasted so many pops. Just make sure it gets hard when you feel of the bottle. Give it a try and see if it works for you.
