Vinegar works as a wood stain when you add a metal object in the mix and let it sit in a glass container for a week. A handful of pennies will produce a beautiful pale Caribbean blue stain. A wad of steel wool will give you a rich reddish hue. A combination of tea and a metal object in vinegar will produce a black stain.
To keep strawberries fresh longer in the refrigerator, use 1 Part White Vinegar to 10 Parts Water. Soak the strawberries, leaves and all in the vinegar/water mixture for a few minutes. Drain in a colander until they are completely dry. Place in an uncovered bowl in the refrigerator. The vinegar/water mixture kills any mold spores on the strawberries and keeps them fresh longer. The vinegar does not affect the taste. Also works for blueberries, raspberries, blackberries...

Seriously clever! A headlamp around a gallon of water = ambient light for your tent and a great night lamp when the power is out. Great idea to add to our Emergency Kits.

A colander on a glass/bowl will drain the water from the ice. Perfect for parties/gatherings.
For the beach/pool. Wash out an existing sunscreen container and store phone, keys etc. Great idea!

wow - who knew?? "One of my most important food shopping tips ever--those annoying stickers on fruits and veggies tell you A LOT! 4 numbers mean they were conventionally grown, 5 numbers starting with number 8 means they are genetically modified (GMO), and 5 numbers starting with 9 means they were organically grown (no pesticides or nasty GMOs)"
