Interesting stuff I didn’t know about.

1. To Re-heat 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, reseal and 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. Re-heating 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 an empty gift-wrap roll to your vacuum hose. 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 ta 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. Next, 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. Re-opening 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 it1/2 inch 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, and
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! How about
that!?! Learn something new everyday! I certainly didn’t know dryer sheets
would do that. So, I thought I’d share! Note: I went to my dryer & tested
my screen by running water on it. The water ran through a little bit but
mostly collected all the water in the mesh screen. I washed it with warm
soapy water & nylon brush & I had it done in 30 seconds. Then, when I rinsed
it, the water ran right thru the screen! There wasn’t any puddling at all!
That repairman knew what he was talking about!
