This is not a garden blog, but you might see an article concerning gardening. It is a blog about me and the cultivation of my life. This is a place where I air my opinions and ideas. There will be stories about what is happening or has happened. I like to write poems, some will be good and some will be bad. I am never bored, I hope you won't find what I write about boring. Thank you for sharing time with me.

THE GOOD EGG

I had to share this with you.  I love to cook and this labor saver, which was saved from the recycle bin, is great.  Especially when you make an angel food cake and have to separate approximately  13 eggs.  The soft water bottles are filling up our dumps.  Each one saved or repurposed is one less in the dump  Take a peek at this:

This week I stumbled on another use for the soft water bottles.  Maybe someone else has announced it but I figured it out on my own.  I use them with the close spout torn off.  I put oils in them.  They allow me to squirt just a tiny bit of oil in the pan, not drowning  my food in oil.  Saving me calories.
 
Have fun, discovering how you can rescue a water bottle.

    Worried the electricity may go off and you won't know it -- perhaps at a vacation home? Is that food you stored in the freezer still safe to eat, or has it re-frozen?

    Fill a plastic water bottle half-full. Place it on its side in the freezer. once it's frozen, put it upright. Now when you open your freezer you can tell at a glance: If the water in the bottle is frozen at the bottom, the freezer has thawed and the water has re-frozen. If the ice in the bottle is still in the long narrow shape, you're good to go!

    excellent hint...I keep filled 1/2 gallon plastic jugs in the freezer so I have ice to go for the cooler...and when it melts we have drinking water at our destination.
