Egg Salad Sandwiches on plateI like to make egg salad to last a couple of days. I use it for parties, open faced sandwiches and cool stuff. It is easy to make and super nutritious. It is a delight of the senses.

Use Broken Hair Clips as Chip Clips

By attosa

A hair clip being used as a chip clip.I get so frustrated when my curly wild hair breaks my hair clips. They get stuck or snap closed too hard and their teeth break off. Instead of throwing the hair clip away, I reuse them as chip clips. An added benefit is the hair clips are usually super cute, so my snack bags look pretty fancy!

Monologue Of A Killer Wasp

By likekinds

A wasp carrying a cicada.The Eastern Cicada Killer Wasp, Sphecius speciosus, is said to be a solitary animal. That may be, but they sure don't mind close neighbors. My lawn is becoming riddled with their nests. They are considered beneficial in that they help keep the cicada population in check, thereby greatly reducing damage done to deciduous trees.

Soapy Water for Ants
When we lived in Texas, I discovered that soapy water was the most effective tool against fire ant mounds. I used one gallon (recycled milk jug) of hot water and added about a teaspoon of dish liquid. Pour over the mound and it will be gone within 24 hours!

Brother CS6000i Won't Sew
I recently moved and packed up my Brother sewing machine in a shipping box. I unpacked it and everything was fine, but I stored it away in the closet for a year. Now when I go to press the foot pedal I just hear a loud humming, but the needle does not move up and down. I have tried moving the handwheel back and forth.
