Giant Ice Cubes

Don't fill your cooler with pricey store-bought ice or ice-packs! I use the 8- oz Ziploc round containers (no lids). Fill nearly to the top with water, and freeze over night. In the morning, pop the giant ice cubes directly into the cooler/large thermos to keep things cold for hours.  Go to Tip Detail

Freezing in Zip Lock Baggies

Many people feel that they have to blanche produce prior to freezing; but you do not have to as long as it is washed in cold water, drained and placed into Zip Lock Baggies to whatever size you choose and allow the air out. I find that using these baggies takes up less space in the freezer.   Go to Tip Detail

Getting in touch with old friend

At my age, 48, seems not many of the people my age are on facebook, or other social networking sites. I try to make myself available to find, if anyone is looking. I wish others would! I have lost track with so many people who meant so much to me. Get yourself out there!   Go to Tip Detail

Cooking

This is pretty basic, but have done for year's. While baking a cake or a meal, I always assemble all the ingredients before I start. As you add an ingredient, in order , put it back in the cupboard or refrigerator. Often I would forget if I added something & was lost. Helps for Alzhiemer's too!:)  Go to Tip Detail

Wooden Table cover

I couldn't find a cover or mat for my new wooden table, and didn't want to put a table cloth on it. I bought a wood grain piece of vinyl floor covering and glued felt on the back. Some flooring will curl, just hot glue another piece of flooring to the back then add felt. Custom fit and cheap.  Go to Tip Detail
