Life Can Be So Simple

Helpful hints to make life easier when summer is here.

Ice Cream on Sale? Wrap the container in aluminum foil before putting it into the freezer. It will stay fresh longer and no ice crystals.

Smelly Garbage disposal? Pour 1/3 cup salt into disposal and run with clear water for a few minutes.

Picnic Cooler Need Freshening? Wash the inside with a solution of 3/4 cup bleach per gallon of hot water. Then saturate a cloth with vanilla extract and wipe the storage area thoroughly.

Storing tomatoes? Don't store tomatoes stem side down. The rounded shoulders are the most tender part and will bruise simply from the weight of the fruit.

Lettuce gone limp? Soak it for an hour in cold water with a little lemon juice.  Refrigerate while soaking, then shake off excess water and roll lettuce in a towel.
