Reviving this thread, since I remembered another tip that is along the same lines as my first post in this thread, regarding not dumping oil down the drain.

If you made something in a frying pan with relatively little oil, like shnitzels, then you can put the frying pan in the garbage sideways so all the oil slides right off in to garbage, and you can remove the pan after a few minutes and it's basically free of oil, just put it into the sink and wash off the remainders.

Just be sure to leave some of the pan sticking out, and don't close the lid of the garbage can, lest you find yourself a day later frantically trying to find your frying pan and suddenly realizing what happened as you hear the distant sound of the garbage truck driving off.

Based on a true story. Crying

Before adding "sugar" to kokosh cake dough make sure it's sugar and not salt! You'll take a bite out of the fresh drippy chocolatey rolls( 8 of them) and discover it was salt!

This really happened when my father tried making popcorn for the kids and my mom wasn't home:
Wanto make popcorn more fun for the kids? Make it without a lid on the pot. It becomes some type of firework show. Only make sure you are wearing protective wear not to get burned by the hot jumping popcorn

this is what people used to do before make up was invented (or if it was too expensive)

I love light threads!

Here’s another tip:
If a piece of eggshell lands in the bowl why don’t you play a game of tag with it? Just keep running after it with your fingers and you’ll just be amazed how the shell will always win the race. You’ll never catch it. I suggest you dump the ingredients and start over!

Scoop it out with another eggshell. Somehow they attract.

Unless you want soggy mushy broccoli salad for both meals.

That’s true for any salad with dressing. Never put dressing a day in advance unless if you have no teeth and are planning to swallow without chewing.

Sorry this happened to you. Your baby might like the texture! Laugh
Enjoy your shabbos!

Ideal to make a reminder for Friday afternoon to put your fridge/freezer on Shabbas mode. Otherwise you might end up like me. A week after a neighbor said she forgot to put hers on Shabbas mode, and I talked big that, na, a year in and never happened to me, big time I forgot! Oh, and after opening, omg, the light stayed on! Slam shut!


Off topic here. But best invention ever is the shabbos keeper. If you have a GE fridge/freezer (I think any GE, but not 100% sure it works with any) you can buy the shabbos keeper. It's a tiny magnetic box that stays on top of the fridge (you really don't see it) and you program it once, with your city and state, and you never have to think any shabbos or yomtov again for the next 30 years or until your fridge breaks! It shuts off by itself-programmed with the Jewish calendar for 30 years

Make your kids a homemade ant farm by sprinkling sugar on your kitchen counters and waiting!
Leaving potatoes in the bottom of your pantry to rot lends a wonderful new aroma to your kitchen.
Put cocoa in your mixing bowl and let the kids put the beaters on high to redecorate your kitchen with beautiful brown splotches!

On the lines of rotting potatoes, if you leave onions at the bottom of a ventilated basket in your kitchen, and forget about them under the piles of potatoes, they will eventually liquefy and make a beautiful black stain on your wooden floor, which lets you pretend you had a miraculous save from a small fire in your kitchen!

A metal spoon attracts too and is cleaner than egg shell.

Best Kitchen hack ever:
Are you tired? Just get into bed for a power nap, (some people call it a beauty nap) while your kids entertain themselves in your kitchen.
Some great surprises will be waiting for you when you are finally rested.
Tried and true!
