Helpful Hints

 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, re-seal, 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 frost 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.
      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 away.

 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.
      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.
        Before you pour sticky substances into a
        Measuring cup, fill with hot water.
        Dump out the hot water, but don't dry cup.
        Add your ingredient, such as peanut butter,
And watch how easily it comes right out.

 12.  Foggy Windshield?
        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. 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 ½" 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 it's 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, 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!
