expensive, store and generic brands at the bottom and high up on
the shelves.
The high price name brands are conveniently located at

How To Keep Flowers Fresh


When a bouquet is received, sprinkle it lightly with fresh water, and then put it
in a vessel containing soapsuds. This will keep the flowers as freshly
as if just gathered. Then every morning take the bouquet out of the
suds, and lay it sideways- the stock entering first- into clean water,
keep it there a minute or two, then take it in the soapsuds, and it will
bloom as fresh as when first gathered. The soapsuds need changing
every three or four days. By observing these rules, a bouquet may be
kept bright and beautiful for at least a month, and will last still longer
in a passable state.

To Keep Flowers Fresh

Put a table spoonful of powdered charcoal into the water which is to
receive the flower stalks. The charcoal will settle immediately in the
bottom of the vase, and the water will remain liquid. This done, it is
not necessary to renew the water or the charcoal for several days.
The flowers will keep their freshness and their perfume, and will look
and smell as fine as those just brought in from the garden.

Restoring Wilted Flowers

Cut off about half an inch of the stems from the wilted flowers. Insert the
trimmed stalk into boiling water. In a few moments, the flowers will resume
almost their original freshness. The process is most applicable to colored flowers
such as roses, geraniums, azaleas, etc. White flowers may turn yellow.
Thick- petalled flowers show the most marked improvement.

More Helpful Hints


Grease stains in your wallpaper

Try mixing corn starch and water and make into a paste.
Rub on with a soft, clean cloth. Test this in an inconspicious
area first.


Wallpaper

If you need to make a patch for your wallpaper, never cutout a
piece. Always use a piece that you have torn by hand and be sure
to tear toward the wrong side of the wallpaper. This will make
the patch nearly invisible.


Furniture Polish

Mix 2 tsps. lemon oil and 1 pt. mineral oil in a spray bottle.


Crayon on the wall -- colgate toothpaste and brush it!


Burn your toungue? Put sugar on it!


Peanut will remove ink from the face of dolls


Fungus on your toenails or fingernails vaporub


You won't believe how bright your white clothes will be when
you add a bit of tartar to the washwater.

To remove wax-- Take a paper towel and iron it over the wax stain,
it will absorb into the towel.


Minor burn--- Colgate or Crest toothpaste.

@ritzyu ,singit ako ha ,medyo kailangang ko yatang mag answer sa tanong ni ms.bara.

@ bara kung ang recipe ay galing sa US ,medyo mahihirapan ka nga ng konti,kasi sa US ay iba ang ginagamit na temperature measurement, dito sa Japan iba rin ( celcius ) So advise ko na lang sa'yo ganito pag -gagawa ka ng cakes and cookies,dapat ang temperature ng oven ay nasa 160-170 degrees celcius ,pag breads dapat ay 180-190 degrees, Then i- test mo kung luto na siya by inserting toothpick into the center ,if the toothpick inserted comes out clean ,it means luto na ,kung may sumabit na mixture ,means hindi pa,so better wait and test it again .

P.S.
Walang magaling na baguhan,practice is a must .try and try and try until you make a perfect bake.
