ARTHUR RAVENEL JR. BRIDGE

The bridge pictured above is also know as the New Cooper River Bridge.

Click on the picture to enlarge it and see how awesome it is.

It is a cable stayed eight lane bridge that connects downtown Charleston, SC and Mt. Pleasant, SC. It is Rt. 17.

Isn't it majestic? Approaching it is a beautiful sight, then riding over it gives you an appreciation for the engineer minds behind it.

Now on to another subject.

Tip of the day: I had the unfortunate experience of burning the bottom of a stainless steel pot the other day.

Either I didn't put enough water in it to steam the broccoli or I didn't put any in it. The second scenario is quite possible since I fixed the broccoli first thing when I arose in the morning, BC (before coffee).

So how to fix it and not through it away?

I covered the charred area with baking soda, sprinkled salt on top of that, then covered it all with hot water. I let it soak overnight and the next morning I scraped the softened charring loose with a plastic scraper. The curved areas I couldn't scrape, I used steel wool.

Voila, a sparkling clean pot.
