Marshmallow Peepsters

By Holly

Marshmallow Peepsters - bunnies in a glass dishToday was the day before Easter and the store was out of Peeps, of course. I got a big bag of marshmallows instead and used some ingredients on hand to make these to cheer up my dad. (He really, really, likes his Peeps.)

Using a Swiffer to Clean Walls

Using a Swiffer to Clean Walls - wiping down walls with a Swiffer dry floor dusterDo you have high ceilings or hard to reach areas in your home to clean? I found that using a Swiffer with the dry cloths works well! When I run out of refills, I plan on using microfiber cloths, washing them and reusing.

Japanese Inspired Hummus

By attosa

Japanese Inspired Hummus in bowlI came up with this recipe when my friend really wanted hummus as a side dish but I'd already planned a Japanese main course. To be honest, we were worried about the outcome, but it ended up being very good. It was really refreshing, especially with the ginger and rice vinegar notes coming through.

Dear Webby's Joke of the Day
At the data-entry company where I work, the other operators and I share a coffeepot. One morning I took it into the ladies room to fill it with water. Then I began preening in the mirror, brushing my hair and reapplying some makeup. I didn't realize how long I'd been until someone slid a note under the door.

"You win," it read. Any ransom demand will be met. Just release the coffeepot."

Adjusting the Tension When Using Heavy Upholstery Thread
I have a Brother XL 2230 sewing machine. I always run into a problem with the stitch tension adjustment. When sewing a cotton suede upholstery fabric I was OK when I tested the stitch with a polyester thread. When I decided to use the extra strong upholstery thread my stitches became loose on the wrong side of fabric. I tried decreasing and increasing the top dial, but it doesn't get better.
