The Tip of the Week : is from Diane Sokolofski of the Kraft kitchens:

RECIPE RESCUE: Overseasoning savvy,

If you're heavy handed with the spice , sugar or salt. I've got a few hints for saving your dishes

Too Salty? Don't reach for a raw potaoto- it's a kitchen myth that it will absorb the extra salt. Instead use a bit of sugar or maple syrup

Too Sweet? Acidic items such as lemon juice or vinegar, tend to cut down on both too salty and too sweet dishes. I've also found that adding a dash of cayenne helps cut down on the sugar

Too Spicy? Add something with a little fat such as butter or something sweet such as peanut butter or honey.

If you living on the east coast I hear winter is on its way so no more weeding the flower garden in 70 degree weather. We need the cold to kill next years sketter population and the like I just hope it doesn't last till June.
