HAPPY EARTH DAY!!!

A eco-freindly tip: To make a simple polish for copper bottom cookware, mix equal parts of flour and salt with vinegar to create a paste.

BAKING TIP

*Use a metal ice tray divider to cut bisquits in a hurry. Press into the dough, and bisquits will separate at dividing lines when baked.

HELPFUL HINT

*To save money, pour all leftover vegtables and water in which they are cooked into a freezer container. When full, add tomato juice and seasoning to create a "free" soup.  Can also use meat and/or pasta to include in the soup.
