Storing Asparagus and Tomatoes

This is a food tip to store asparagus and tomatoes. I find if you keep tomatoes in a dish on your counter, they taste better and ripen thoroughly. If you keep them in the refrigerator, the taste is not as great, and the ripening process changes.

Asparagus is best kept out of the refrigerator in a container of water. Just like a flower arrangement. This keeps them fresh longer and reminds you to use them before they go soggy.
