THINGS TO KNOW....

I am always reading different magazines and articles in the newspaper. I come across some pretty interesting things sometimes and have written them down. I have several that I have written down so I thought maybe I would start to share them with you. Here are a few "tips"


1. Stuff a miniature marshmallow in the bottom of a sugar cone to prevent ice cream drips.

2. Use a meat baster to “squeeze” your pancake batter onto the hot griddle and you’ll get perfectly shaped pancakes every time.

3. To keep potatoes from budding, place an apple in the bag with the potatoes.

4. To prevent eggshells from cracking, add a pinch of salt to the water before hard-boiling.

5. Run your hands under cold water before pressing Rice Krispies treats in the pan and the marshmallow won’t stick to your fingers.

6. To get the most juice out of fresh lemons, bring them to room temperature and roll them under your palm against the kitchen counter before squeezing.


7. To easily remove burnt on food from your skillet, simply add a drop or two of dish soap and enough water to cover bottom of pan, and bring to a boil on the stovetop.

8. Spray your Tupperware with nonstick cooking spray before pouring in tomato-based sauces and there won’t be any stains.

I am always amazed at the simple things that can make life easier. :) I am all for simple! 


Have a great day!  :)

WHEN DO YOU QUILT?

Quilting is my first love when it comes to sewing. I loooooooove to quilt. So for all of you quilters out there here is a question for you.....when do you quilt?


quilting



When you're watching a good movie.
When you're reading a good book.
When you're having a picnic.
When you're sipping red wine (or hot cocoa!) by the fire.
When you're telling ghost stories.
When you're building a fort in the living room.
When the kids are finally in bed.
When it's cold outside.
When you're tired.
When you're sick.
When you've been caught in the rain.
When you finally have time to relax.

These are when some people quilt. I actually do hand piecing when I am riding (not driving!) in the car going somewhere...keeps me from falling asleep. :)

So when do you quilt.......................?????
