| RE: Freezing Deli Cheese |
|
My experience is that frozen cheese crumbles when it defrosts. If you get the deli to slice it and put a piece of waxed paper between each slice, then I think you'd be OK. I freeze sale cheese to use in baked meat dishes and to shred for quesadillas...that works fine, but frozen cheese is hard to slice evenly when it defrosts ... View related article. |

And you still have your leftover Tupperware margarine containers. I hate to go up to my brother's house a couple times a year to retrieve all the leftover containers that he's never brought back after having dinner at our house. ... View related article. |

| RE: Cat With Fleas |
|
This isn't going to be fun, but it will get rid of the fleas. Get a flea comb. It has teeth really close together. Take the cat and comb it, catching the fleas and dipping the comb in a dish of hot water (or ask the pet store person how to deal with the fleas you capture). When you have one cat combed and flea free you must isolate that cat from the others. Repeat until all cats are done. You probably should do the dog too. Then flea bomb your house (other than the room with the pets). The next day or two (depending on the flea-bomb) release the animals back into the (hopefully) flea-free house, but comb them twice a week for a month to make sure that all the fleas are gone. This is the only way I know, and if I knew a way without the flea bomb you know I'd tell you. ... View related article. |

| RE: Hair Color for Sensitive Skin |
|
My experience with henna is that it is fine when your hair is its younger color...mine was light brown; but it doesn't transfer well when your hair is gray. A friend told me that I had orange hair. I agreed, though I wouldn't call it orange. Now, I was using natural henna from the health food store or from an Indian store. It's possible that American-made henna is different. The kind I used felt like mud when it went on, was messy, but on naturally colored hair gave a really nice red tint. ... View related article. |

What I don't see and would like to is the recipes for your basic soups that you freeze. In the summer I freeze a tomato soup that can become all manner or creatures, but I'd like to learn of some more. Thank you. ... View related article. |

| RE: Remedies for an Ingrown Toenail |
|
Cutting a V may work as may (this worked for me). As painful as it may be, you want to have an edge of a matchbook (or similar cardboard) under the ingrown nail. Put the foot in hottish water and after, use a nailfile to raise the nail a little bit...enough to slide the edge of cardboard between the nail and the skin. It doesn't have to go far, just enough to keep the nail from cutting into the skin. Take away the nailfile, leave the cardboard, pamper the foot and soak it with some Epsom salts in the water a couple times a day if you can. The cardboard keeps the nail from cutting into the skin. It worked and I am very careful when cutting my nails not....that was so painful. ... View related article. |

Go to your public library and ask for a book on re-upholstering (just saw you're in OZ, you probably have the equivalent of our public libraries). If not, try a re-cycle organization. They should be able to point to a source. Good luck. ... View related article. |
