GREAT TIPS
1. Reheat Pizza - Heat up leftover pizza in a nonstick skillet on top of the stove set heat to med-low and heat till warm. This keeps the crust crispy. No soggy micro pizza. I saw this on the cooking channel and it really works.
2. Easy Deviled Eggs - Put cooked egg yolks in a zip lock bag. Seal, mash till they are all broken up. Add remainder of ingredients , reseal , keep mashing it up> mixing thoroughly , cut the tip of the baggy , squeeze mixture into egg. Just throw bag away when done easy clean up.
3. Expanding Frosting - When you buy a container of cake frosting from the store, whip it with your mixer for a few minutes. You can double it in size. You get to frost more cake/cupcakes with the same amount. You also eat less sugar and calories per serving.
4. Reheating refrigerated bread - To warm biscuits , pancakes or muffins that were refrigerated - place them in a microwave with a cup of water. The increased moisture will keep the food moist and help it reheat faster.
5. Newspaper weeds away - Start putting in your plants, work the nutrients in your soil. Wet newspapers put layers around the plants overlapping as you go cover with mulch and forget about weeds. Weeds will get through some gardening plastic they will not get through wet newspapers.
6. Picking up Broken Glass - Use a wet cotton ball or Q-tip to pick up the small shards of glass - you can't see easily.
7. No More Mosquitoes - Place a dryer sheet in your pocket. It will keep the mosquitoes away.
8. Squirrel Away! -To keep squirrels from eating your plants sprinkle your plants with cayenne pepper. The cayenne pepper doesn't hurt the plant and the squirrels won't come near it.
9. Flexible vacuum extension - To get something out of a heat register or under the fridge add an empty paper towel roll or empty gift wrap roll to your vacuum. It can be bent or flattened to get i n narrow openings.
10 Reducing Static Cling - Pin a small safety pin to the seam of your slip and you will not have a clingy skirt or
dress. Same thing works with slacks that cling when wearing panty hose. Place pin in seam of slacks and - ta da! - static is gone.
11. Measuring Cups -Before you pour sticky substances into a measuring cup, fill with hot water. Dump out the hot water, but don't dry cup. Next, add your ingredient, such as peanut butter, and watch how easily it comes right out.
12. Foggy Windshield?- Hate foggy windshields? Buy a chalkboard eraser and keep it in the glove box of your car. When the windows fog, rub with the eraser! Works better than a cloth!
13. Reopening envelope> If you seal an envelope and then realize you forgot to include something inside , just place your sealed envelope in the freezer for an hour or two. Viola! It unseals easily
1 4. Conditioner> Use your hair conditioner to shave your legs. It's a lot cheaper than shaving cream and leaves your legs really smooth. It's also a great way to use up the conditioner you bought but didn't like when you tried it in your hair.
15. Goodbye Fruit Flies - To get rid of pesky fruit flies , take a small glass fill it 1/2" with Apple Cider Vinegar and 2 drops of dish washing liquid , mix well. You will find those flies drawn to the cup and gone forever!
16. Get Rid of Ants - Put small piles of cornmeal where you see ants. They eat it , take it "home", can't digest it so it kills them. It may take a week or so, especially if it rains, but it works & you don't have the worry about pets or small children being harmed!
17. INFO ABOUT CLOTHES DRYER FILTERS> The heating unit went out on my dryer! The gentleman that fixes things around the house for us went over to the dryer and pulled out the lint filter. It was clean.(I always clean the lint from the filter after every load clothes.) He told us that he wanted to show us something; he took the filter over to the sink, ran hot water over it. The lint filter is made of a mesh material - I'm sure you know what your dryer's lint filter looks like. WELL...the hot water just sat on top of the mesh! It didn't go through it at all! He told us that dryer sheets cause a film over that mesh that's what burns out the heating unit. You can't SEE the film , but it's there. It's what is in the dryer sheets to make your clothes sof t and static free - that nice fragrance too, you know how they can feel waxy when you take them out of the box, well this stuff builds up on your clothes and on you r lint screen This is also what causes dryer units to catch fire & potentially burn
your house down with it! He said the be st way to keep your dryer working for a very long time (& to keep your electric bill lower) is at least every six months take that filter out & wash it with hot soapy water & an old toothbrush (or other brush). He said that makes the life of thedryer at least twice as long! How about that!?! Learn something new everyday! I certainly didn't know dryer sheets would do that. So , I thought I'd share! Note: I went to my dryer & tested my screen by running water on it. The water ran through a little bit but mostly collected all the water in the mesh screen. I washed it with warm
soapy water & a nylon brush & I had it done in 30 seconds. Then when I rinsed it the water ran right Thru the screen! There wasn't any puddling at all! That repairman knew what he was talking about!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
I didn't know this!!!!!
Bet you'll go to your kitchen to check this one out. I did.
Well, I'm not telling everyone my age, as most of you already
know...BUT...I had to go into the kitchen and check this out for
myself.
Who ever looks at the end of your aluminum foil box? What a fantastic
idea.
Now, if someone would just make plastic wrap that didn't stick to
itself.
I"ve been using aluminum foil for more years than I care to
remember.
Great stuff, but sometimes it can be a pain. You know, like when you
are in the middle of doing something and you try to pull some foil out
and the roll comes out of the box. Then you have to put the roll back
in the box and start over. The darn roll always comes out at the wrong
time.
Well, I would like to share this with you. Yesterday I went to
throw out an empty Reynolds foil box and for some reason I turned it
and looked at the end of the box. And written on the end it said,
Press here to lock end.. Right there on the end of the box is a tab to
lock the roll in place.
How long has this little locking tab been there? I then looked at a
generic brand of aluminum foil and it had one, too. I then looked at a
box of Saran wrap and it had one too! I can't count the number of
times the Saran wrap roll has jumped out when I was trying to cover
something up.

And you are so right about the aluminum foil- holy cow!
