These tips were gleaned from The Farmers Almanac

• Use a strand of uncooked spaghetti to test a cake for doneness when a toothpick isn’t long enough, or if you don’t have any toothpicks in the house.
• Use a hot knife blade for cutting fresh breads and a wet one for cutting soft cakes.
• Try dampening a cloth with club soda to clean stainless steel appliances. This method will clean without leaving spots or streaks.
• Metal cookie cutters double up nicely as unique napkin holders for special dinners. If you want, spray paint them to match the decor.
• To help stop meatloaf from sticking to the pan, put one or two strips of bacon in the pan before the meatloaf.
• Remove adhesive from stickers on glass by rubbing vegetable oil with a soft cloth or paper towel, then wash.
• Stuff newspaper in shoes - the paper absorbs odor and perspiration - also keeps shoe shape.
• Foggy mirror? A blow-dryer will clear it!
Have a great day!!
