Have you ever wondered if the stuff people post on Pinterest is true? Well I have, and I test them all so that you don’t have to, ’cause ain’t nobody got time for that.  Click here to check out all of the pins I haven taken on. You might be surprised by some of the results!

Surely everyone has seen the Pin – “to avoid a pot from boiling over, just put a wooden spoon on top!”  I was cooking pasta the other night, and decided to try it.  I’ll be darned if it didn’t work like a charm!

A charm.
