no problems, I'm sure there will be some fantastic tips out there...

Things we do without thinking that others might not know about...

I use something called "garlic soap" when peeling onions or garlic, you simply wash your hands with it to remove the smell (you know how the onion smell can soak into your skin and still be there days later). The thing itself isn't actually soap its just shaped like a bar of soap and is made from what appears to be stainless steel (brushed finish so its dull not shiny). I don't know what it does but it stops the smell (and it doesn't end up smelling itself).

If you open a tin of coconut milk (we buy a light version in a can similar to the sort you get baked beans in) and don't use it all, put the rest in a freezer bag and freeze it. This means when you want to use it you can simply throw it into the soup/curry etc and it will melt with the heat.

Left over corriander freezes well if washed,chopped and submerged in water.

I'm sure people will have much more to add...
