Sewing Threads

When sewing I find myself needing to unpick occassionally. When that happens there are always little threads that I need to clean off the fabric. I find that using a lint roller is so much easier than taking the time to pick each little thread off.

Kitchen Cabinets

I hate the dirt that seems to accumulate on Kitchen Cabinet's. So I have been trying different products to get the grim off. I finally found the answer, it is alcohol. Just take a rag and dump straight alcohol on it and rub. Be careful not to rub to hard or you may take off more than you want. But rub hard enough to get the grime off. Don't be afraid, you will find out how much to rub pretty easy.

Adding Things At The Right Time

I make a lot of soups with sour cream in them, and Parmesan cheese or other cheeses. Here is a little tid-bit where that is concerned. Make sure your soup is completely cooked before you add these ingredients. Make sure the soup or sauce is on medium and no longer needs to boil. You will not have the soup with curds in it, or little lumps. It will be perfectly smooth.

Potato's In Refrigerator

I have a problem because I often have mashed potato's left over, put them in my refrigerator and forget they are there. When I remember I find they are bad. I have found a solution to this problem if you are having the same problem. I take the potato's form them into a patty and fry them in a little butter. I put the patty in a piece of plastic wrap and wrap it up. I re-wrap it to be safe. I stick it in the freezer. When I pull it out I warm it in the microwave for about 2 minutes. The greatest potato's you will want to eat for a snack, or lunch or whatever you chose to eat it for. Great Potato's

Don't Let Your Rice Go Bad

I have found an amazing way to keep your left over rice good. I use to have a large family but they are leaving my home quit fast, so I am always making to much food. I put it in the refrigerator and leave it, it ends out going bad. I have found a solution to this problem. I take a large spoon of left over rice and lay it on a piece of plastic wrap and wrap it. Then I wrap it again so it is double. It is the amount that you would consider a single serving. I then freeze it in the freezer and when I need rice again I pull out the individual packages and microwave one rice packet for 1 1/2 minutes. So I can eat rice at any time and enjoy it hot. I can be ready to eat in seconds.

Pudding

If you make pudding and put it into the refrigerator you will find that it gets a funny film on the top. To prevent that just put your saran wrap against the pudding its self. It will solve your problem.

Garlic

You cannot get the full flavor of Garlic unless you cook it first. I find myself not loving garlic, all that well. I've found that the flavor can be amazing if you will follow this simple rule. Cook it before you put it into things that are not be cooked, like salsa. Melt some butter or use a little olive oil then put your minced garlic in it and cook it for 8-10 minutes. What ever you do don't turn your stove above simmer. It will scorch the garlic. It doesn't matter how much your recipe calls for, cook it and then put it in your recipe. You will absolutely love the flavor. Try it you will like it. If you are cooking with garlic in a casserole or something else, just make sure whatever it is you cook that thing for 8-10 minutes
