September 4th's Tip
Veggies: Cooking up some veggies? Here are some tips to use less water.
The way to use the least water, of course, is to cook the veggies on a grill. And the best grill choice? Electric. No charcoal, no gas.
If you don't have a grill, the weather isn't cooperating for grilling, or the veggies just aren't the grilling type, try steaming your veggies instead of boiling them. You'll use a lot less water, and the veggies will taste better. Remember to leave the lid on to keep the steam in the pot.

I agree completely. Steaming your veggies does use as little water as possible and doesn't use a lot of energy.
