hands off meatloaf

When making meatloaf (or meatballs, hamburgers...) instead of kneading with your hands, throw all the ingredients in a plastic freezer bag, let out as much air as possible, and knead. No need to get your hands all dirty and no meat contamination. After all the ingredients are mixed well, shape it and plop it in the pan. For meatballs, just cut off a corner of the plastic freezer bag and squeeze the desired amount on the pan and roll meat with a spoon.

Fighting germs

After leaving the supermarket, or any other store for that matter, I use the antibacterial hand cleaner I keep in my car console. I use an extra bit to wipe down the steering wheel, door handle, buttons on the dash I use, etc. I wash my gallon milk jugs before putting them in the fridge also.

Hair Detangler

For your child or bed-bound senior at home or in nursing home: Untangle massively matted hair by dusting it liberally with baby powder and massage into hair. Separate hair into sections and brush hair working from root to tips. Afterwards wash and condition hair and style as you like.

No Blister with Minor Burns

To ease the blistering and burn of a minor burn from touching a hot surface such as the rack in the oven, hitting side of hot iron, put vanilla flavoring on it. This will pull the burn sting out and keep from blistering. However, don't do this for more severe burns.

Med & RX Records

I constantly carry a list of all my prescriptions, allergies, & surgeries in my wallet. I also keep a running list on my computer so I can print it out as needed for a doctor's appointment. Each time I'm given a new RX, the list is updated & goes into my wallet. I also take an extra copy to the doctor for my med file. They really appreciate it & always say they wish everyone would do it. You never know when you'll be in an accident & unable to communicate. ER staff always check wallets & purses first, for ID. Finding that sheet could save your life.
