HOW TO BUY A BELL PEEPER

Have you ever noticed the bumbs on the bottom of your bell peppers. 3 bumbs on the bottom the peppers are good for eating in salads and are much sweeter.
Peppers with 4 bumbs on the bottom are good for cooking and are a lot firmer.

SNICKER BARS AND APPLES

Take some small snicker bars and chop them up. Can put in the freezer for a few minutes to make chopping easier. Peel and core some apples and put them in a sprayed baking dish and put the chopped snickers on top of the apples and bake for 15 minutes on 350. Seve with vanilla ice cream.

WARMING LEFT OVER PIZZA

Heat up your left over pizza in a heavy skillet on top of the stove and not in the mircowave. It will let it stay crispy. Put the heat on medium low until it is warm.

WHIPPING CAKE MIX

When you buy a container of frosting for your cake. If you will take it out of the container and put in a bowl and whip it with a mixer you will get more frosting for your layers. If you like the taste of homemade choc. frosting I put mine in the mircowave for two minutes and not let it melt all the way and it makes it more like homemade frosting. If it gets to hot let it cool down a few seconds and then frost.

MOUTHWASH AND DRYER SHEETS

My son was telling me how you can use small containers of mouthwash sitting around on your picnic tables outside to keep the flys and bugs away. He also said that dryer sheets will also work for this. I am sure going to try this. Good for homecomings.

SHOWER CAPS

When you visit a hotel or motel don't throw away the shower caps they give you. Bring them home and use them to cover different size bowls that you keep your lefovers in in the ref. also good to use when on a picnic to keep the bugs out of the food. I buy packs of them for this at the dollar store and keep on hand. Good to use to take to homecomings.

CHALK BOARD ERASER

When it is raining and you can't get all the fog off your inside car window buy a chalkboard eraser and keep in the car. It will not leave streaks on your window like trying to rub it with a cloth or paper towel or napkin does.
