(AP) -- Phil DeVore pulls a folded piece of aluminum from a murky pond. The aluminum looks like a piece of siding that's blown off a building, but DeVore knows it's much more valuable than that. He slips a rubber band off the aluminum and unfolds it. He likes what he sees -- 50 or 60 glistening black leeches. They're your common ribbon leeches, Nephelopsis obscura to aquatic biologists.
Storing Used Oil. Used oil can be successfully stored in a cool, dark place for up to a month. Refrigeration or freezing increases the oilâs lifespan by several months. The oil may become cloudy during storage but this is not harmful and the oil will become clear upon reheating.
(Garlic will continue to brown in the hot oil even when out of the oven.) Cool at room temperature, then spoon into jars, top with enough oil to cover cloves, and put on lid. Store in fridge for up to 3 months. Chop and add to mashed potatoes, pasta dishes, dips and dressings.
