Smart Ideas To Make Life Easier#35
Recipe By :Pat Moore
1. CLEANING FRESH PRODUCE: I use baking soda to get my fresh produce
clean.
I just sprinkle some on, scrub and rinse well. The baking soda removes
dirt,
wax and other residue. ~Joan Spiegel, Minneapolis, MN.
2. EASIER ACCESSORIZING: If you keep your shoes in their boxes, take a
snapshot of each pair and tape it to its box. You’ll be able to
instantly
find the right pair in your closet.
3. PORTABLE CUPCAKES: Slice cupcakes and frost the centers instead of
the
tops. They can be put into lunchboxes with no mess.
4. FLAKIER FISH: When frying fish, use ginger ale as the liquid in the
batter for a flakier, lighter coating.
5. PERFECT CENTERPIECE: Use a framed mirror as a candle tray on your
dining
room table to reflect the candlelight throughout the room.
6. A BROOM THAT STAYS PUT: Cut a “finger” off an old pair of rubber
gloves
and stretch it over your broom handle to get a better grip while
sweeping,
and to keep it from falling when you lean it against a wall.
7. THIRSTIER TOWELS: Boost the absorbency of your towels by adding a
cup of
white vinegar to the rinse water once a month.
8. EASIER JEWELRY CLEANING: Clean your costume jewelry with warm water
and a
denture tablet. Rinse and dry well.
9. STRESS-FREE WAITING: To keep a child busy while waiting in a
restaurant,
have her study the items on the table, then close her eyes. Remove an
item,
then tell her to look and guess what’s missing.
