Welcome to our Relief Society Blog!

We welcome you to our Relief Society blog and hope you enjoy the things that we will be posting. We thought it would be easier for each of you to have information on one site, instead of handouts that tend to cost a lot of money. So, enjoy as this blog is for the sisters of the Chino, California Stake, Relief Society!
This will be a one-time thing in advertising... A sister from our stake is selling her Yamaha baby grand piano. With satin walnut finish, it has a beautiful rich sound. She is asking $6,500. Comparable pianos are going for $7,500. If interested, please refer all phone calls to Lorrie Williams at (909) 631-4137.

The Rolling Ridge Ward is collecting new and gently used hats, scarfs and gloves to give to a homeless shelter in Pomona. Any items of clothing for men, women and children will be greatly appreciated. Please have items dropped off at the Stake Relief Society room before Friday, November 15, or make arrangements with Sister Gabby Clavel at (909) 334-0063.
Another reminder of our Stake Relief Society Christmas toy drive. We are asking for your assistance in collecting new and unwrapped toys and gift cards. The gift cards are recommended for the teens and should be no larger than $25 from affordable stores such as Wal-Mart, Target, Kohls, Ross, etc. We thank you for your generosity. Please check with your Relief Society presidents as each ward has a different system for collecting the items. Our toy drive ends Thursday, November 28. Thank you so much!

Storing Fats and Oils



Submitted by Karen Ginn

 

Most fats and oils are not suitable for long-term storage, but proper storage conditions can extend the life of fats and oils.

 

AVOID EXPOSURE TO:

·       OXYGEN

o   Store in airtight containers

·       LIGHT

o   Store in a dark place

o   If in a clear container, store in a box

·       HEAT

o   Store in a cool place (Below 70 degrees).

 

Other helpful hints:

·         Rotate often.

·         Don’t buy in large containers if you don’t use it often. It can be refrigerated after opening to prevent it from becoming rancid.

·         Buy paler oils for maximum shelf life. Darker oils become rancid more quickly.

·         Butter and margarine may be frozen, but some report that margarine tends to be flaky when thawed.

·         Sesame oil and flaxseed oil become rancid more quickly.

·         Coconut Oil will keep for five years, but is very expensive.

·         Powdered butter and shortening will keep for 3 to 5 years unopened.
