I have a kitchen tip. Washing vegetables thoroughly can help reduce exposure to pesticide residues and surface bacteria. Try the following: a quick hot-water blanch can help reduce certain surface residues on select vegetables since some pesticides break down more quickly when they’re exposed to heat. You can also soak produce in diluted salt water, also known as brine, or in diluted vinegar. This may help loosen dirt and decrease the amount of surface bacteria and chemical residues. Soaking in a baking soda solution can also help remove certain pesticide residues from produce surfaces. By following these steps, you can improve food hygiene overall.
Now it’s time to get comfy and let laughter bring a happy moment to our day with the following joke. It’s called, “The Long View.”

“Now, sir, you claim you saw my client hit the victim, even though the street was dark and you were 45 meters away. Is that correct?”
“Yes, sir.”
“Tell me, how far can you see at night?”
“About 384,400 kilometers.”
“Around 384,000 kilometers? That’s impossible! No human can see that far!”
“Well, how far away do you think the Moon is?”
?!
