You can pour boiling water over them and the skin slides right off....a trick my grandmother showed me when she was going to can beets. The last ones I prepared I just left skin on and roasted and ate the whole thing. Yum!

If you have a dishwasher, load it with as much small stuff as you can and hand wash any larger items that might would have fit otherwise.

Love the lamp shades with the other elements in the kitchen especially the window shade and wicker chairs.

I take a cutting from my aloe vera and apply the leaf directly on the burn. I try to do this several times during the course of the day/evening. The next day the mark is there but the pain is completely gone.

I sat a potholder on my glass top stove when it was on. Then turned around just in time to see sparks floating up in the air. The potholder quickly went outside but not in time to prevent the fire alarm go go off.

I once made the mistake of washing a dress instead of dry cleaning it. The skirt part of the dress had lots of pleats and I ended up washing them out! I will wash somethings that say dry clean but am careful that I won't be washing something that will be difficult to iron later.

I have two of those boxes from 6 yrs ago. On gets light bulbs stored in along with the other treasures. I know there is an ash tray, 110 camera film that needed to be developed years ago. Hoping to move soon and I think I'll toss what is in the boxes at this point. They are both the size of shoe boxes and live in my laundry room. I would be interesting to see that is on that film though.

I have used similar plates and cups for a bridal and baby shower. Both had tea and finger foods. It does make the event nicer than using paper products.

Wow never thought of that! I always wondered why those tiny holes are always on the front and not the back of my shirts.

@threechordme I'm working out a lot more too! How interesting. Thank goodness we are in a 3 bedroom house so we have some separate space.

Living this right now. My house has been on the market 4 months with some buyer interest. Boundary rules are a good thing. I don't think I would suggest this to anybody but it appears to be a sign of the time. I'm sure there will be a study on it's effect here in about 20 years. It's funny that we do communicate a bit more now, out of necessity to ensure the dogs are cared for properly each evening. It's been a harder transition for my ex and definitely not a healthy situation to get through.

2 large labs at my house means the coffee table has pretty much nothing on it. Oh well, I love my dogs more than I love a decorated coffee table! Fortunately I have one that lifts up to work as a table you can also eat from!

My grandparents from SW Missouri used to make sassafras tea all the time.
