I learned something new today
30 Aug
I got the below from a forwarded email from a friend. I thought it is helpful. Hoping to add more as and when I come across any.
- To keep potatoes from budding, place an apple in the bag with the potatoes.
- When a cake recipe calls for flouring the baking pan, use a bit of the dry cake mix instead and there won’t be any white mess on the outside of the cake.
- If you accidentally over salt a dish while it’s still cooking, drop in a peeled potato and it will absorb the excess salt for an instant ‘fix-me-up.’
- Wrap celery in aluminum foil when putting in the refrigerator and it will keep for weeks.
- Brush some beaten egg white over pie crust before baking to yield a beautiful glossy finish.
- Cure for headaches: take a lime, cut it in half and rub it on your forehead. The throbbing will go away.
- If you have a problem opening jars, try using latex dishwashing gloves. They give a non-slip grip that makes opening jars easy.
- Don’t throw out all that leftover wine. Freeze into ice cubes for future use in casseroles and sauces.
- For cuts, wounds, dog bites etc: After washing the affected part with water, tie a bandage with crushed small onions and coconut oil. Pour water over the bandage often. The wound will heal quickly.
- To get rid of Roaches:
Boric Powder – 4 TSP
Wheat Powder – 1 TSP
Sugar – 1 TSP
Mix the above ingredients with enough milk to make balls. Sun dry these balls and keep them in the affected areas. You can also mix the ingredients to a paste and apply on the affected areas. Repeat after few months.
