smarta tips

1. Take your bananas apart when you get home from the store. If you leave them connected at the stem, they ripen faster.
2. Store your opened chunks of cheese in aluminum foil. It will stay fresh much longer and not mold!
3. Peppers with 3 bumps on the bottom are sweeter and better for eating. Peppers with 4 bumps on the bottom are firmer and better for cooking.
4. 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.
5. Pin a small safety pin to the seam of your slip to eliminate static cling. It works; you will not have a clingy skirt or dress. Same thing works with slacks that cling when wearing panty hose.
6. Tired of taking apart your blender to clean it after every use? Add a little dish soap, fill it with water and turn it on for a few seconds. Empty out your soapy water and rinse. Voila, all clean!
7. Never peel and egg again. Just slice it in half then scoop it out with a knife.
8. Jewellery Cleaner - place tin foil in the bottom of a container, place a few tablespoons of baking soda then pour boiling water in (enough to cover jewellery) then place jewellery in. Careful when removing as jewellery will be hot and then buff lightly
9. Remove stripped screws with a rubber band.

På samma gång som jag liksom exploderar för att vissa tips är så ... hurtiga, och andra så okunniga, och jag bara vägrar att "klappa min hemmafru-gen", så är jag ändå stillsamt fascinerad av somliga. T ex den om paprikorna. Ifall det stämmer är det ju snudd på genialt.
