Tried a new way to keep hydrangeas from wilting on delivery

I had a big wedding order in Seattle last weekend and the bride wanted blue hydrangeas, which are notorious for drooping. Instead of just cutting the stems, I dipped each one in boiling water for 30 seconds before putting them in the cooler. They stayed perky for the whole 4-hour setup and the client was thrilled. Has anyone else tried this hot water trick with other fussy flowers?

My aunt said to always buy whole chickens, and she was totally right

She told me this last year, and I finally tried it last month. I got a whole bird for $6.50, roasted it for dinner, then used the bones for stock and the leftover meat for soup. That one chicken gave me three full meals. Anyone have other cheap cuts of meat that stretch like that?
