1--Stuff a miniature marshmallow in the bottom of a sugar cone to prevent ice cream drips.
2--Use a meat baster to "squeeze" your pancake batter onto the hot griddle-perfect shaped pancakes every time.
3---To keep potatoes from budding, place an apple in the bag with the potatoes.
4---To prevent egg shells from cracking, add a pinch of salt to the water before hard-boiling.
5---Run your hands under cold water before pressing Rice Krispies treats in the pan-the marshmallow won't stick to your fingers.
6---To get the most juice out of fresh lemons, bring them to room temperature and roll them under your palm against the kitchen counter before squeezing.
7---To easily remove burnt on food from your skillet, simply add a drop or two of dish soap and enough water to cover bottom of pan, and bring to a boil on stove-top-skillet will be much easier to clean now.
8---Spray your Tupperware with nonstick cooking spray before pouring in tomato-based sauces-no more stains.
9---When a cake recipe calls for flouring the baking pan, use a bit of the dry cake mix instead-no white mess on the outside of the cake.
10---If you accidentally over-salt a dish while it's still cooking, drop in a peeled potato-it absorbs the excess salt for an instant "fix me up".
11---Wrap celery in aluminum foil when putting in the refrigerator-it will keep for weeks.
12---Brush beaten egg white over pie crust before baking to yield a beautiful glossy finish.
13---Place a slice of apple in hardened brown sugar to soften it back up.
14---When boiling corn on the cob, add a pinch of sugar to help bring
out the corns natural sweetness.
15---To determine whether an egg is fresh, immerse it in a pan of cool,salted water. If it sinks, it is fresh-if it rises to the surface,throw it away.
16---Cure for headaches: Take a lime, cut it in half and rub it on your forehead. The throbbing will go away.
17---Don't throw out all that leftover wine: Freeze into ice cubes for future use in casseroles and sauces.
18---If you have problem opening jars: Try using latex dishwashing gloves. They give a non-slip grip that makes opening jars easy.
19---Potatoes will take food stains off your fingers. Just slice and rub raw potato on the stains and rinse with water.
20---To get rid of itch from mosquito bite, try applying soap on the area. Instant relief.
21---Ants, ants, ants everywhere ... Well, they are said to never cross
a chalk line. So get your chalk out and draw a line on the floor or wherever ants tend to march. See for yourself.
22---Use air-freshener to clean mirrors. It does a good job and better still, leaves a lovely smell to the shine.
23---When you get a splinter, reach for the scotch tape before resorting to tweezers or a needle. Simply put the scotch tape over the splinter, then pull it off. Scotch tape removes most splinters painlessly and easily.
24----Now look what you can do with Alka Seltzer. Clean a toilet. Drop in two Alka-Seltzer tablets, wait twenty minutes,brush, and flush. The citric acid and effervescent action clean vitreous china. Clean a vase. To remove a stain from the bottom of a glass vase or cruet, fill with water and drop in two Alka-Seltzer tablets. Polish jewelry. Drop two Alka-Seltzer tablets into a glass of water and immerse the jewelry for two minutes. Clean a thermos bottle. Fill the bottle with water, drop in four Alka-Seltzer tablets, and let soak for an hour (or longer, if necessary). Unclog a drain. Clear the sink drain by dropping three Alka-Seltzer tablets down the drain followed by a cup of Heinz White Vinegar Wait a few minutes, then run the hot water.

Pass this along to all your friends.
