Cooking Tip of the Week                    

        Do you like Miracle Whip Chicken?
        Add potato flakes as an outer coating. Delicious!
         

       Household Tips

      +   To clean your can opener blade simply use an old toothbrush loaded
           with dish soap then scrub vigorously.

       +  The password is ...HAIR SPRAY.    
                   How do you get pencil marks off walls?  
                   How do you get pen marks off of leather car seats?
                   How do you get stains out of clothes?

       +   Do you hate prying open the metal spout on the dishwasher
            soap box?  
           
Purchase a plastic pitcher, preferably the one with the lid that turns to
            allow product to flow through the lid.  Fill container with the
            dishwasher soap and use for dispensing of dishwasher soap.
            Warning:  do not re-use pitcher to fill with food for
            human consumption.
   

       +   For utensil trays that slide in draws place waded-up newspaper
            behind tray to prevent slipping.

       +  To prevent scratching stacked pans and pots place a paper-towel
           or paper plate between each.

       +  To remove odors from containers take 1 tablespoon of dry coffee
           grounds  and  wrap in a tissue, tie with a twist-tie place in sealed
           container. If you plan on moving, place in empty refrigerator
           and freezer.

       +  Tired of paying too much for those scrub-pads?  For about $1,
           go to Wal-Mart or any hardware store and purchase steel wool pads
           (medium #1).  The package contains 16 large pads.  Use about 1/4 of
           the pad along with 3 tsp. of baking powder and liquid dish soap.
           We are talking about at least a 2 year supply here; think of  the
           money you will be saving!!!

       +  To reduce the dust in your home take a dryer fabric sheet [the ones
            that fold] and tape it to the inside of  your air vents.  Change each
            month and you will be surprise of all the dust collected.

       +  To help sanitize counter tops, stoves and sinks.  Combine 2 Tblsp.
           of chlorine bleach and 1 quart of water in a new spray container.
           Spray. Leave 5 minutes  [vent room].  Then wipe with a clean cloth.
           Do not mix with any other chemicals.
            Warning: make sure your counter is safe to use bleach!
