CLOTHES LINES ARE A NO NO

 After reading about how so many states now are not allowing people to put up a clothes, line what are people going to do to dry clothes with the electric going right on up and up. Granted if you live in a subdivision you would not want to see a lot of peoples underclothes all out on a line but what about if you have a lot of children and need to help reduce your bill. I am so glad here in the mountains it has not come to not being able to hang your clothes out on a line or even lay them across your porch. With everything going green you would think that it would be better to air dry your clothes. It always gives them the best of smell. I know we have to watch for ticks in our area or spiders that just have to crawl up the clothesline.
 I remember when people had to go to the creek to wash their clothes and lay them on rocks to dry. Now we do have all the convience of the modern day but still sometimes we like to cut back on our bills and hang out clothes. So glad to live in the mountains and not have everyone looking at what we do all the time.
 We can still at least get out if we don't have a grill and build a fire and roast our marshmallows or roast a big slab of good ole bacon. Nothing like it and if you have a good big sweet onion or cornbread to go with it. As good as a big steak dinner to me. But with bacon on the up you could about buy a steak for what you have to pay for a big slab of bacon. lol.

HOW TO STOP SAUSAGE FROM STICKING TO ROLL

Run cold water over the paper or plastic roll before you remove roll sausage from the package, or let it set in cold ice water for a while. The sausage will not stick to the paper or plastic.

JUICER HAMBURGERS

If you want a juicer hamburger take a egg and beat it stiff and then put in the hamburger meat and mix good before you fry them. Also if you put a hole in the middle of the hamburger before putting them in a skillet it will get done quicker in the middle and the hole disappears.

HOW TO KEEP BACON FROM STICKING TOGETHER

To keep bacon slices from sticking together, roll the pack into a tube and then put a rubber band around it before you ref. it. If you are going to freeze take each piece and  lay them flat and put on a large piece of wax paper and just keep folding it over until you use all of it up. Then roll in a tube and freeze. You can then just take out whatever amount of slices you may need. Dip it in water and it will not shrink so much.
