With my WONDERFUL emails, i have more fun info to share (Thank you, Kathy!!)WOOHOO!
Did You Know?
* Take bananas apart when you get home from the market. If you leave them connected at the stem, they ripen faster.
* Primates peel a banana from the bottom and don't have to pick any strings off.
* Peppers with 3 bumps on the bottom are sweeter and better for eating, and peppers with 4 bumps on the bottom are firmer and better for cooking.
* Add a teaspoon of water in the pan when frying ground beef to pull the grease away from the meat while cooking.
* If making brownies as a treat, make them as directed on the recipe, and then add melted chocolate mints, pouring them over the warm brownies. Let them set for a wonderful minty frosting with less saturated fat and food chemicals found in many packaged frostings.
* If you want a light taste of garlic in a recipe, add garlic immediately as you cook, but if you want a stronger taste of garlic, add it at the end of the recipe.
* To reheat pizza with a crispy crust, heat the slices in a skillet on the stovetop at med-low temperature, and heat until warm.
* Deviled eggs can be made easier by placing the cooked egg yolks in a zip lock baggie. Seal and mash until the yolks are broken up. Add the remainder of your ingredients to the yolk in the baggie, reseal, and continue mashing. Cut the tip of the baggie and squeeze the yolk mixture into the egg white. Throw the baggie away when done for easy clean up.
* If you ever purchase a container of cake frosting (but I do not personally recommend it), whip it with a mixer for a few minutes to double its volume. This lessens the refined ingredients and dilutes the calories per serving.
* When reheating refrigerated bread, biscuits, pancakes, or muffins, heat them next to a cup of water. The moisture will keep the food moist and help it reheat faster.
* If you break glass in the kitchen, use a wet cotton ball or Q-tip to pick up the small shards of glass and those you can't easily see.
* Keep squirrels away from the house garden with cayenne pepper. The cayenne pepper won't hurt the grass or plants, and squirrels won't come near it.
* To retrieve something from under the refrigerator, add an empty paper towel roll or empty gift-wrap roll to your vacuum hose.
* Before you pour sticky substances such as peanut butter into a measuring cup, fill the cup with hot water. Empty the hot water, but don't dry the cup. Now the sticky ingredient can easily come out.
* To get rid of pesky fruit flies in the house, fill a small glass half full with Apple Cider Vinegar and 2 drops of dish washing liquid. The insects are drawn to the cup and drown.
i just LOVE learning things like these, don't you??! :D
if you like that, then i hope you will enjoy this too! it's suppose to REALLY work! hehe
Mosquito spray.....
I can't wait to try this in the summer!
I was at a deck party awhile back, and the bugs were having a ball biting everyone.
A man at the party sprayed the lawn and deck floor with Listerine, and the little demons disappeared.
The next year I filled a 4-ounce spray bottle and used it around my seat whenever I
saw mosquitoes. And voila! That worked as well. It worked at a picnic where we
sprayed the area around the food table, the children's swing area, and the standing
water nearby.
During the summer, I don't leave home without it.....Pass it on.
------------------
OUR FRIEND'S COMMENTS:
I tried this on my deck and around all of my doors. It works - in fact, it killed them instantly.
I bought my bottle from Target and it cost me $1.89. It really doesn't take much, and it is a
big bottle, too; so it is not as expensive to use as the can of spray you buy that doesn't last
30 minutes. So, try this, please. It will last a couple of days. Don't spray directly on a wood
door (like your front door), but spray around the frame. Spray around the window frames,
and even inside the dog house.
i am sure i will be trying this out this year lol FUN KNOWLEDGE!!
ok well, i don't use a cell phone but i know ALOT of you do, so i will share this for YOU :D
Something to think about & maybe make a change?
Be careful how you list names on your cell phone! This lady has changed her habit of how she lists her names on Her mobile phone after her handbag was stolen. Her handbag which contained her cell phone, credit card, wallet, etc. was stolen. 20 minutes later when she called her Husband from a pay phone telling him what had happened, hubby says 'I received your text asking about our Pin number and I've replied a little while ago.' When they rushed down to the bank, the bank staff told them all the money was already withdrawn.
The thief had actually used the stolen cell phone to text 'hubby' in the contact list and got hold of the PIN number. Within 20 minutes he had withdrawn all the money from the bank account.
Moral of the lesson: Do not disclose the relationship between you and the people in your contact list.
Avoid using names like Home, Honey, Hubby, Sweetheart, Dad, Mom, etc.
And very importantly, when sensitive info is being asked thru texts, CONFIRM by calling back. Also, when you're being texted by friends or family to meet them somewhere, be sure to call back to confirm that the message came from them. If you don't reach them, be very careful about going places to meet 'family and friends' who text you.
They could be setting you up to be burglarized, or worse. PLEASE PASS THIS ON.
and one last thing:
HUGS!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much for your visit! i would LA LA LOVE to hear from you as you pass thru! Have a BEAUTIFUL day!! HUGS! :D
