 To store tomato paste:
 Most recipes for tomato-based pasta sauce call for a single Tablespoon of
 tomato paste as a thickener.  Here’s a great way to keep what’s left over.
 
 Using a hand-held can opener, open both ends of can, discard one.  Using the
 stem of a spoon as a plunger against the other end, push paste out, in its
 original shape, onto a piece of plastic wrap.
 
 Score the paste into Tablespoon-size pieces (most cans contain  6 - 8
 Tablespoon worth sizes).  Gently roll the plastic around the paste and
 freeze.  When you need a single Tablespoon, just cut off a frozen slice.
 
 No-stick Garlic:
 To keep garlic from sticking to your knife when you chop it, sprinkle 1/4
 tsp salt on the pieces as you go.  The salt will absorb moisture from the
 garlic, making it stick-free.
