Easy Preserved Lemons

By attosa

Easy Preserved Lemons in jar & bowlThis is a simple way to make preserved lemons. A little drizzle of this stuff goes a long way when making salads, using as a topping, or in your marinades. It's great because it doesn't have just a lemon flavour, it's also got the taste of the dissolved lemon rind, which is amazing. There's nothing quite like it.

Keeping a Tidy Home and Your Sanity

By sharon6345

Keeping a Tidy Home and Your SanityBegin by washing the garbage can with a good cleaner. I used Awesome and alcohol. I sprayed the floor around the garbage can as well. Then, of course, the wall behind the garbage can. I let it sit and got on my knees to clean the area.

Raising a Dishdrying Tub

By Sandi/Poor But Proud

Raising a Dishwdrying Tub - sink mat under the tubI have a tiny kitchen and when I moved, I lost my dishwasher. That used to be my dish drainer. Now I have to have a drainer, but I prefer to put it inside a nice tub. I began noticing the tub collected water underneath it, but could never figure out why.

Garden Surprise for Valentine's Day

By wishy

This takes some pre-planning but worth yearly returns. "Sneak" and plant very early blooming spring bulbs in someone's garden or lawn, prominent where they are sure to be seen. Try (easily) to find those that should be in full bloom during the week of the holiday.

Today's Questions
Suprise 16th Birthday Parties
My sister is turning 16 at the end of March. She says she doesn't think she should throw a party and she may go out with a few friends instead. I want to throw her a party though! She doesn't really like big parties, I don't know how many friends to invite. I also don't know what theme or things to do for the party. In all is this a good idea or should I not do it?
14th Birthday Party Ideas
It's my 14th birthday this year and I'm stumped on what to do for it. My birthday is in March. I want a small birthday this year, maybe 2 or 3 friends. I want to do something that's not babyish and something that's not so common, for example bowling. I would like to go to the mall, but not all my friends are girly. I want something that my friends' parents will be OK with.
Removing a Candle Wax Stain on a White Stove Top
An olive color candle was on the top of my stove. The oven was on and the candle melted some down the front of stove. I got all the wax off, but it left a colored stain on the white stove (I think the dye, dyed the clear coat.) How do I remove the color?
Toning Down Hair Dye

Getting Rid of Head Lice
I have had head lice for months now. I've done all the treatments out there and home remedies too. I don't know what else to do.
Finding a Canister Lid Seal
I'm looking for a canister seal ring. Apparently, it is unusual in the replacement world in that the ring fits as a band around a part of the lid which inserts itself into the canister. I found lots that are horizontally flat or ones which fit like a washer into the lid threads. Mine is vertically flat with a flange (profile is a sideways "T" [-- shape).
