Tips

[Kedi]

Easy Deviled Eggs
put cooked egg yolks in a zip lock bag seal, mash till all broken up
add remainder of ingredients, reseal, keep mashing up mixing thoroughly
cut the tip of the baggie, squeeze mixture into eggs halves
just throw the bag away when done = easy clean up

Expanding Frosting
buy a container of cake frosting, whip it with your mixer for a few minutes
you can double it in size
you can frost more cake/cupcakes with the same amount
and at the same time eat less sugar and calories per serving

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 from the water will make them moist
plus they'll reheat faster

Measuring Cups Clean-Up
before you pour a sticky substance into a measuring cup
fill it with hot water
dump out the water, but don't dry the cup
add your sticky ingredient
watch how easily it will come right out

Goodbye Fruit Flies
take a small glass
fill with 1/2 " Apple Cider Vinegar + 2 drops of dish washing liqiud
mix well
fruit flies will be drawn to the cup & gone forever

Get Rid of Ants
put small piles of cornmeal where you see ants
they eat it, take it "home" and can't digest it so it kills them
it may take a week or so, especially if it rains, but it works
and you don't have to worry about pets or small children being harmed

Squirrel Away
to keep squirrels from eating your plants
sprinkle your plants with cayenne pepper
the cayenne pepper won't hurt the plants & squirrels won't come near it

No More Mosquitoes
place a dryer sheet in your pocket
it will keep mosquitoes away

Clothes Dryer Lint Screens
chemicals in dryer sheets cause a film over the mesh in dryer lint screens
this can burn up your dryer or even start a fire
you can't see the film, but it's there
take the filter out & wash it with hot soapy water & an old toothbrush
at least every 6 months
this will also extend the life of your dryer twice as long

Reduce Static Cling
pin a small safety pin to the seam of your slip
will eliminate a clingy skirt or dress
same thing works with slacks that cling when you wear pantyhose
place in the seam of slacks

Fleible Vacuum Nozzle
to get something out of a heat register or under the refrigerator
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

Newspaper Weeds Away
put in your plants, work the nutrients in your soil
put layers of wet newspapers around your plants overlapping as you go
cover with mulch
weeds will not get through wet newspaper like they do some gardening plastics

Foggy Windshields
use a chalkboard eraser
when the window fogs up rub with the eraser
works better than a cloth

Reopening An Envelope
if you realize you need to put something inside a sealed envelope
just place the sealed envelope in the freezer for an hour or two

Hair Conditioner Shave
using hair conditioner to shave your legs
is less expensive than shave cream & leaves your legs smooth
