I was wondering if we had such a thread already.

Let's write down things that make your household easier (like that's an idea! from Hamodia)

I'll start:

When your negl vasser cup is dirty from all the lime residue, put it in the washing machine, preferably a white one and it comes out as new!!!

(I apologise in advance for my spelling mistakes as English is NOT my mother language!!)

When you want the baking paper to stick in your baking pan, put some water on the tray and it sticks like glue!!

if you have herbs such as celery, parcely, dill
that if not used immediately will go bad, wash them, slice them etc. and freeze them.
they work gr8 in soups

decide for each girl a color and every time you buy panties sew a thread with this color on. Like this you see to whom it belongs immediately

To prevent your avocado salad from discoloring place the pit in a cup of water.

Huh? Do you then place the cup of water with the pit in the salad? Or take the pit out and put it in the salad? Or does the salad just stay green just cuz the pit is elsewhere in a cup of water Wink

Now I'm confused. (Sorry if I'm being a lil dim here.) The avocado salad is separate from the pit, right? So the salad is on one side, the pit is on another in a cup of water, and even though the pit and the avocado are not connected, just the fact that the pit is in water keeps the salad green? I'm so confused lol. Or do you keep the pit in the water while it's still attached to the avocado? But then it's not a salad yet.
Sorry, I'm just always looking for ways that work to keep my avocado salad green, so this interests me.
