| Coffee Filters
1. Diffuse the flash on a camera - When you're taking a close-up, soften the brightness by placing a coffee filter over the flash.
2. Make yogurt dip - Use a rubber band to secure a paper coffee filter over the mouth of a deep cup or jar. Slowly pour 8 ounces of plain yogurt onto the filter. Let drain for one hour. In a bowl, mix the thickened yogurt with 1 small minced garlic clove, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, and salt and pepper to taste. Serve with crackers.
(I love this dip, I use it for my meat dishes too! )
3. Prevent soil from draining out of flowerpots - When repotting, place a filter at the bottom, over the drainage hole, then add the soil.
4. Strain wine from a bottle with a broken cork - Place the filter over a pitcher or a carafe and slowly pour the wine into it.
5. Prevent scuffs and scratches on fine china - Use flattened coffee filters as spacers when you stack your dishes. "Within the heart of every stray, lies the singular desire to be loved." | |

| Okay, I got one: Coca-Cola Clean a toilet bowl. Pour a can of Coca-Cola into the toilet bowl. Let the real thing sit for one hour, then brush and flush clean. The phosphoric acid in Coke removes stains from vitreous china, according to household-hints columnist Heloise. Remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers. Rubbing the bumper with a crumpled-up piece of Reynolds Wrap aluminum foil dipped in Coca-Cola will help remove rust spots, according to household-hints columnist Mary Ellen. Clean corrosion from car battery terminals. Pour a can of carbonated Coca-Cola over the terminals to bubble away the corrosion, according to Heloise. I just had one.... | |
