I used to have a "I don't eat anything that can taste me back" philosophy but I tried a bite of my dad's taco once and I was sold. Delish on a corn torilla with cilantro, onions and salsa.

I have one of these I bought in Mexico and I use it several times a week. This is a life saver for margaritas.

My best tip is to cut the citrus down the middle, not end to end. Squeeze each half, then put both squeezed "shells" into the juicer and squeeze again. Don't forget to rotate the juicer into your bowl to get the juice that squeezes up and to the sides but doesn't come down through the holes.

Try it!

I've had this problem forever and finally found a solution that works for me. For my many many long necklaces, I use the stick and release clear plastic 3M hooks, stuck on the back side of a closet door in rows.

You can alternate the row height to work with the length of you necklaces, nothing gets tangled, and the hooks aren't permanent. I love that I can see all my necklaces at a glance and I even keep hats at the bottom.

For other jewlery I use stackable trays. http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/product.asp?order_num=-1&SKU=107732

I'm with AGirlNamedMe. Everyone touts the power of vinegar but the smell is a deal breaker for me. I've tried it for several different uses from a hair rinse to a cleaner and I found that the smell lingers after it dries, and sometimes it's still noticible after days.

I'm more sensitive to smell than most folks, so perhaps most won't have the problem with it? To me the smell of bleach is the smell of clean, so I don't mind it at all, but vinegar is for sure more earth and human friendly.
