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.

quick easy meals

Buy chicken when on sale. Cook all the chicken at one time. Dice or shred chicken and freeze in bags. Chicken freezes very well and you can prepare quick, easy meals. We often make enchiladas, casseroles, calzones, pizza, burritos, etc... thats 15 min. prep and into the oven. You get a hot home cooked meal in less time than it takes for delivery.

Get Rid of Ants

Put small piles of cornmeal where you see ants. They eat it, take it 'home,' can'tdigest it so it kills them. It may take a week or so, especially if it rains, but it works and you don't have the worry about pets or small children being harmed!

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.. ta da!... static is gone.

Save the Cheese

Store your opened chunks of cheese in aluminum foil. It will stay fresh much longer and not mold!
