Helpful Household Hints by Harvey Levin Ripen Food in a Paper Bag Have you ever brought home a bundle of fruits, only to realize that they’re not quite ripe enough to eat? While you can wait for the fruits to ripen on their own, you can also speed up the process with a paper bag. Put un-ripened food in a paper bag and fold it closed. The bag will trap the ethylene gas inside, allowing the fruits to mature much more quickly than they would in the open air. Just be sure to check on it fairly regularly. If you leave it in the bag too long, you’ll just end up with rotten fruit! Wednesday, June 9 MASS INTENTIONS 6:00 PM +Hikmat Yaku Sunday, June 6 Thursday, June 10 9:00 AM +Edmund G.
