Avocado, if it is cut, quickly darkens. Keep it in a container with a bulb - sulfur contained in the bulb will not give fruit darken. Refrigerator - not a place for avocados, especially unripe. If you want it to quickly become soft and ripe, store avocados in a paper bag opaque.
Potatoes do not keep in the refrigerator, the more close to the apples. It secretes a substance from which the fruits are perishable.
mushrooms (Especially mushrooms) Do not put in plastic bags and containers. In plastics, this product becomes toxic and quickly deteriorates. In the refrigerator - in a paper bag on the middle shelf or in a drawer for vegetables - mushrooms are stored for about a week.
Leaf salad. To protect against fading, wrap it in a damp cloth, which drip a little vinegar. And in the fridge!
cabbage better also be stored in a drawer for vegetables, and cobs up. Cooking does not cut the head, and just tear off the right amount of cabbage leaves.

sausage (Smoked) grease with vegetable oil and wrap in foil or parchment.
Milk boil, adding sugar (1 hr. l. to 1 liter). Cool, pour into a clean jar with a tight lid.
Butter put in a glass dish and cover with cold salt water (2 hours. l. to 1 liter). Cover and put in a dark cool place. Change the water 1 time per day.
