Tips For The Day

** Soggy Lettuce: Perk up soggy lettuce by soaking in cold water with some lemon juice. To store place in a zip lock bag with paper towel to absorb moisture.
** Wax paper is endlessly useful. Use it: To catch grated cheese, to place under seasoned flour for breading or spices for blackening, to tear into strips to slip under a cake you are icing, to cover a dish you are microwaving.
** Before you wear a new garment, put a little clear nail polish on the front and back of each button. Buttons will stay on longer when their threads are sealed.
** Place bay leaves in kitchen drawers and in flour and sugar sacks to keep crawling insects away.
** For longer lasting pantyhose, try freezing them before you wear them. Just wet, wring out and toss in a plastic bag to freeze. Thaw and hang to dry.
** Ant Control: Spread some ground cinnamon where you think the ants are coming in to the house.
** Vinegar and water will remove salt stains from shoes and boots.
** Zippers won't stick if you rub them with the edge of a bar of soap.
** If you store your best silver in self-sealing plastic bags, it will tarnish much more slowly.
