Cooking Oil for Sticky and Greasy Areas
By b3552
Remove sticky grease from appliances or walls easily. How? With the same oil that was used to cook and make the area sticky. No detergent, or heavy scrubbing. Hope you find this out too.

I stopped making traditional lasagne once the kids moved out because all the recipes I tried made far too much. This is enough for dinner and to freeze for the future. The noodles cook in the sauce. I am not a fan of no-boil noodles, so this saves a step for me. This makes enough for 6 servings.

My favorite use out of these containers are when I share food with family or friends. Instead of putting the food to transport in a Tupperware and collecting the Tupperware back, this works better because my family/friend does not have to give these containers back.

My daughter's son had nightmares about monsters. My grandson thought he was under the bed so I filled up a bottle of water with some lemon and sprayed it in his room. I told him it was monster spray and kept it beside his bed.

This is a simple way to make a small pincushion from a plastic bottle cap. You could also attach a small loop of elastic band beneath it and wear it on one of you fingers as you sew.
These pretty flowers are made with spirals of colorful scrap paper. Learn how to make them in this short video.
