Bluevua RO100ROPOT Reverse Osmosis System Countertop Water Filter

Image
  I bought this machine to purify my own drinking water at home and get away from all of the plastic bottles we have. It is super-easy to use and the water is crisp and clean tasting. You just fill the tank, set the amount of water you want and hit the start button. It is very important to remember that you have to dump out the water from the tank after each use.   It is a little lopsided due to the filter cartridges being on one side, but it’s easy enough to move around. I love that we are helping the planet. It will pay for itself in no time.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Thinly slice potatoes by hand or with the help of a mandolin Place in large bowl and add olive oil and the bread dipping herbs. Place in a single layer on baking sheet and bake for approximately 15-20 minutes, until crispy. Sprinkle with chives and serve immediately.   Notes: You can use any potatoes you have handy.   I like red potatoes for their slightly sweet flavor. If you don’t have bread-dipping herbs, you can use a combination of garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, dried oregano and dried basil.
