Hello Everyone,

I personally hate serving salads outdoors because I'm afraid of the lettuce wilting. Well, I'm trying this hint on my next BBQ. Keep your salad crisp and fresh by nesting the serving bowl (with salad) in a bigger bowl filled with ice. Toss regularly to keep everything cool.

Hint 1: I have not tried this hint, but have already printed it out and am eager to try it next time I baked a few batches of cookies.

If you have cookies, a bag of marshmallows, or a bag of sugar that has gone stale don't throw them out just yet. Stick a piece of bread in the bag and seal tightly for six hours. The stale items will absorb moisture from the bread, softening them up as the bread hardens, and be as fresh as before!

Hint 2: Who says you need to buy special products to shine leather or vinyl? Not me!

The soft inside of a banana peel contains natural
oils and moisturizers that gently clean and shine purses, jackets, and shoes. Just buff in a circular motion, and wipe away any residue with a clean cloth.
