Re: Any way to soften
Has your brown sugar turned into a hard and useless mass? Soften it back up with one of these simple tricks:
place a few apple slices or a slice of bread in an air-tight container with the brown sugar for a day or two. Then, remove the slices once the sugar has softened
place the brown sugar in a bowl, and cover with a damp cloth. Let sit over night
place the brown sugar in the microwave, with a small container of water beside it. Microwave for one minute. Then, check and continue to microwave in 30-second increments until the sugar is soft.
Warning: The sugar will be hot, so handle with care
Why These Tricks Work:
Over time the moisture in brown sugar evaporates, and the sugar hardens. To remedy this problem, you have to find a way to put the moisture back, and that's just what these tricks do.
If you don't fight for what you deserve, you deserve what you get.

Re: Can ackee in di tin
There's usually an expiration date on the can, however, that is probably the time frame
suggested by the USDA and/or any other agencies.
Mi sure people in some parts of the world eat the food after it expire.
The dent nuh usually mean nothing other than it drop and dent or something squeeze up the tin and dent it up.
If mi have stuff past the expire/sell by date, mi just go by smell and how it look first and then how it taste and it all depends on what kinda food it isComment
