A Super Easy Way to Peel Potatoes ~ While you are bringing a pot of water to the boiling point, scrub the potatoes. Using a sharp knife, score each potato all around the center (think of it as the potato's waistline). You only need to cut through the peel a little bit. Drop the potatoes into the boiling water and cook until tender (about 20 minutes or so). Remove the potatoes from the boiling water with tongs and plunge into ice water. Move them around for about ten seconds until they cool off some. Take a potato in both hands and pull back the peel on each side. Works like magic! This is a great tip when making potato salad! ~ Thanks to Paula Archer in Nebraska and Rosanne Ayers in Virginia

(Something very interesting: Our son had been signing his e-mails and cards with Zephaniah 3:17 for several years. I looked up the birthverse for his baby boy, and it is Zephaniah 3:17! "The LORD your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing." What an encouraging scripture verse!)
