These are true household hints...
Sent in by those who ummm.. KNOW!
Some are mess ups and some are ahh..
A way to 'fix things'.
1. ![]() Dont prepare a roast in the crock pot, adding the right amount of water and seasoning putting the lid on and turning the heat setting to high heat only to come back six hours later to check on it and find it isnt even done WHY you ask? Because someone didnt plug the crock-pot into an outlet had a friend do that too and didnt work for her either.

| 2.) If you are making noodles for
soup
when you have the dough rolled out and ready to be sliced thinly into
noodles
DO NOT use your paper shredder to cut the thin strips
as
all you will only get is a paper shredder noodle jam.

| 3.) DO NOT leave upper or
lower cupboard doors open... Unless you have a hard head or youre a bitch for
punishment
the lower doors can be groin-knocking city too and leave you breathless
and on your knees.

If
you freeze luncheon meats using Ziploc bags
then this is for you,
maybe
if by chance you go to the refrigerator looking to enjoy a
sandwich using your favorite lunch meat, only to find, someone took it for
their sandwich and didnt take out another package from the freezer to thaw
fear not
all you do is get another bag of your favorite meat and quick
thaw it.
Now the fun begins using your veggie steamer...filled to the low water line mark place your Ziploc bag of lunch meat in the basket.. DO NOT leave the bag fully zipped open it up a little bit so the air inside can escape and the bag won't blow up on you.. DONT ASK ME HOW I KNOW THIS PLEASE. I JUST DO Ok now plug in steamer turn on for about seven minutes this is neater than chit. hell I have even thawed chicken breasts this way. Submitted by: Umm.. He doesn't want me to say... |
| Fixin A Problem #1 - Carrots (and other small peels): All of us at some time or other get up enough ambition to actually fix a meal and discover that we have to peel somethin. When I do this it seems like most of the peels go on the floor instead of the trash can (probably cuz I got one eye on the game).
I find bending over and pickin up those sticky things a pain in the
butt, so after careful thought....here's what you do...

A Problem #2 - Mashed Potatoes: In my forgetfulness I have never gotten around to getting an electric mixer or a hand masher.
The solution, if you ever want to eat mashed
potatoes at home...

A Problem #3 -
Meat: ya know... sometimes peanut butter and jelly gets old....and the ole cravin for somethin else hits you. I was never smart enough to learn to cook, but I did have enough smarts to get a lil ole crock pot. When I grocery shop I seem to always buy some meat with the full intentions of cookin a good meal. The prob is the meat seems to ..ummmm....sit around a while...cuz I'm usually doin somethin else (never cook today when you can put it off till tomorrow). As a result...the meat kinda gets this funny greenish color on the outside...
but don't worry...this is where the crock pot come in...
but WAIT till its cooked for at least 4 hours before you do this...that way all you'll smell is the onions and stuff and won't have to worry about how the meat smells. Submitted by Coach - Check out his site.. |

| DON'T...
If you're anything like me.. DO NOT heat your coffee in the microwave! You will forget it! Well, at least I do. Put it in.. hit 1 minute.. walk away.
Sometimes though.. I just forget.
Hubby has to take it out in the morning before he uses it to heat his! Does he ever
forget??? GRRRRRRRR.. NOPE!
and THEY tell ME where it is!!!!!
Sighhhhhhh |
| Don't...
When I bought home my first food processor,
I promptly made some pumpkin soup. I had friends staying at the time, so said to them watch this soup pulverise into a smooth soup, with that I poured the cooked ingredients into the processor,
covered with the lid, but unbeknown to me I had not properly secured the lid. Turned on the processor and whoosh, up into the air, and all over us watching folk..........
a hard lesson to learn that was!!
