Simple Fresh Again

With as much humidity as there has been lately, its easy to end
up with something getting a bit stale. After baking and turning off
the oven, if there are Saltines, Ritz or Graham Crackers or cereal
that have lost their crispness,
spread them on a cookie sheet, place them in the oven and close the
door. After the oven cools, all are restored to original freshness.

TODAY’S TIP(s): Anything Can Happen Department
Mosquitoes And SAD Bananas

Here’s a tip that was given at a recent gardening forum. Put some
water in a white dinner plate and add a couple drops of Lemon Fresh Joy
dish detergent. Set the dish on your porch, patio, or other outdoor
area. Not sure what attracts them, the lemon smell, the white plate
color, or what, but mosquitoes flock to it, and drop dead shortly after
drinking the Lemon Fresh Joy/water mixture, and usually within about 10
feet of the plate. Check this out — it works just super! May seem
trivial, but it may help control mosquitoes around your home.

I received this tip the other day, & while we don’t have too many
mosquitoes here, I pass it on because it seems like it would be worth a
try.
