Interesting- For anyone that may not know, the BEST way to make hard-boiled eggs is in the OVEN!

Pinner says: Mosquito Spray...I was at a deck party awhile back, and the bugs were having a ball biting everyone.

The next year I filled a 4-ounce spray bottle and used it around my seat whenever I saw mosquitoes. And voila! That worked as well...worth a try...

Impromptu recipe holder! Let's you look at the recipe more closely than if it were on the counter!

TIP FOR KEEPING BERRIES FROM GOING MOLDY!! When you get your berries home, prepare a mixture of one part vinegar (white or apple cider probably work best) and ten parts water. Dump the berries into the mixture and swirl around. Drain, rinse if you want (though the mixture is so diluted I find you can't taste the vinegar,) and pop in the fridge.
