Ingredients:

  • peel a banana from the bottom and you won'tsp have to pick the little stringy things off of it. that's how the primates do it.
  • take your bananas apart when you get home from the store. if you leave them connected at the stem, they ripen faster.
  • store your opened chunks of cheese in aluminum foil. it will stay fresh much longer and not mold
  • add a tsp of water when frying ground beef. it will help pull the grease away from the meat while cooking.
  • to reheat pizza
  • heat up leftover pizza in a nonstick skillet on top of the stove, set heat to medium-low and heat till warm. this keeps the crust crispy. no soggy micro pizza.
  • 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.
  • when buying a canned frosting, remove frosting to a mixing bowl and beat with your electric mixer. the amount will come close to doubling.
  • squirrel away
  • to keep squirrels from eating your plants sprinkle your plants with cayenne pepper. the cayenne pepper doesn'tsp hurt the plant and the squirrels won'tsp come near it.
  • flexible vacuum
  • 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 in narrow openings.
  • 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 -- at da! -- static is gone.
  • measuring cups
  • before you pour sticky substances into a measuring cup, fill with hot water. dump out the hot water, but don'tsp dry cup. next, add your ingredient, such as peanut butter, and watch how easily it comes right out.
  • 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
  • reopening an 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.
  • 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'tsp like when you tried it in your hair...
  • 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
  • get rid of ants
  • put small piles of cornmeal where you see ants. they eat it, take it home, can'tsp digest it so it kills them. it may take a week or so, especially if it rains, but it works & you don'tsp have the worry about pets or small children being harmed

  1. INFO ABOUT CLOTHES DRYERS
  2. The heating unit went out on my dryer! The gentleman that fixes things around the house for us told us that he wanted to show us something and he 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 soft 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 your lint screen. This is also what causes dryer units to catch fire & potentially burn your house down with it! He said the best way to keep your dryer working for a very long time (& to keep your electric bill lower) is to take that filter out & wash it with hot soapy water & an old toothbrush (or other brush) at least every six months. He said that makes the life of the dryer at least twice as long! How about that!?! Learn something new everyday! I certainly didn't know dryer sheets would do that.
