Unfortunate Sardarji

One Sardarji is up for a daily routine, going to office in bus and then returning home by evening. One day, he gets late for the bus to return back home. He runs after the bus and reaches home running & huffing. After reaching his house, he tells his wife that he has saved Rs.3 by running after the bus while reaching home. Instead of getting an appraisal, he gets a tight slap from his wife. Sardarji gets puzzled. He asks his wife as to why she slapped him. She replies, 'If you had run after a taxi you could have saved Rs.70 instead of Rs.3 !'

Raw Potatoes: Let raw potatoes stand in cold water for at least half an hour before frying to improve the crispness of french-fried potatoes

Cakes: If you run out of flour or just want your chocolate cake not to have the "white dust" on it, then use cocoa to dust the bottom of your cake pan. To test if your cake is ready, use a raw piece of spaghetti. If the cake sticks to the pan after baking, then set the pan over a pot of boiling water for a minute or two. You will then have your cake popping out Nice & Neat!
