Heloise used to give advice about cooking and sewing and women stuff in our local paper. I don't think I ever read a word. I mean it was for women. In those days you could do that. But I have some advice once in awhile about cooking and women stuff.

This sage advice should have been offered years ago, because I learned it back in my childhood. It just took a long time to sink in. Here, in the proverbial nutshell, it is. Most drinks are better aerated. Maybe not beer or some other liquors, but as far as coffee, milk, and even water, that is the case.

Decanting is the process of giving air to wine as I understand it,, though I don't know what a decanter looks like. Bubbles, apparently are vital to certain wines. Which ones, well I don't know. Ok, I'm not Heloise.

But as a kid, I knew that I liked milk when we ate out at restaurants. I like the foamy bubbles. So recently, I've started pouring milk, orange juice, coffee, and water from on high. I haven't splattered or splashed out any liquids, so that should tell you I'm not standing on a chair or ladder to do the pouring. Above my head, I hold the carton, pitcher, or bottle and let the gravity do the rest.

The result: aerated beverage. Try it and tell all you got the tip from me. I may just make a name for myself and get my own column in the newspaper. I even have a name: FROM UP HERE
