VERSATILE SALT - I have an.
other use for salt When you bake a
Pie and It bOlls over In the oven but
you can't stop the process because
the pie Isn't fimshed bakmg, pour
salt over the spIll thIckly
It Will stop the smokmg and you
can scoop out a lill ge portlOn of the
spIll wIth a spatula
Also, put something under the
pIe to catch further boIl.overs
CookIe sheets or sheets of fOIl work

"DISHING" WITH FRIENDS -
I find a use for everythmg I was
washmg dIshes and a frIend asked
to see my dIshcloth She thought It
was great I made the cloth out of
materIal scraps and then sewed a
piece of nylon net on the other SIde
You can wash dIshes, and If you
have a spot on your stove, just turn
It over and you have your great ny.

EASY SLIDE I ha\e found when
I try to put curtams on rods or the
sprmg type curtam holdels, It'S better
to wrap the ends of the rod first
wIth plastiC wrap. The curtams shp
rIght on wIthout pullmg or snaggmg

XMAS STORAGE - Most people
wrap and store theIr ChrIstmas ornaments
m the attIc or the basement
where they can take on a
musty odor Here's a solutIOn I
have found
I tape a thIck plastic bag to the
SIde of my dryer and throw all the
used dryer sheets into It during the
course of a year.
They still have a fragrance after
bemg used, so I then use them to
wrap my ChrIstmas ornaments at
the end of the season. They smell
great when I unwrap them and this
also prOVIdes a use for a typIcal
throwaway item Jeanme B., Washburn,
