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
fr ost 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. Broken Glass clean up:
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 aw ay.
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 nozzle: 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.
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 -- at DA! --
static is gone.
11. Measuring Cups clean up: 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. 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.
14. Hair 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 DRYERS: 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 its 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,
and 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.
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 paddling at
all! That repairman
knew what he was talking about!
