Use the cheapest hair spray you can find, spray on marks and let sit till ink starts to run then wipe off marks. You may want to test in an out of site area to make sure you do not ruin the finish. You might have to repeat a few times. ... View related article.
I make a point of saving leftovers and using them later. I try to save leftovers in different ways. I either do what most do and put them in the fridge for a meal in a couple days or I put cooked veggies along with cut up veggies that are left from the kids lunches (obviously not the ones half eaten) and throw it in a bag designated for that purpose in the freezer. I use these veggies for soup or casseroles.
I put meats in separate bags and freeze if there is enough of one kind or put small amounts of different meats that go together in a single bag to use for soup. If I have celery, green onions, peppers, apples etc. just before shopping day, I clean out those items and dehydrate them for use when I run out, or the power goes out.
I even save the veggie peels and chicken bones etc to make broth, then pressure can for later. This really saves the cost of broth and gives you a nice coloured, flavourful broth. You can even save apple peels and cores, citrus zests etc and steep in hot water for tea. If you decide to do that you will need to experiment as you will need a lot of apple peels but very little zest. While your at it save the citrus zest and steep in vodka for about 3 months and make lemon or orange extract!
The other thing you can do is not over stuff the fridge. If you can see everything in there you are more likely to use it up and not have to throw it out later. I loathe wasting anything if it isn't necessary. ... View related article.
I think you will find that it will cost too much to replace your coffee maker, if you can get parts at all. I would suggest that if you find yourself replacing it choose a stove top percolator and thermal carafe at walmart. The thermal carafe needs to have a glass insert to work well. You may find that you save a of of money because the coffee maker doesn't need to stay on to keep the coffee warm and the coffee doesn't get really strong and unless you burn out the bottom of the percolator or drop the carafe it will last for as long as you are brewing coffee. In case you are wondering, stove top is wonderful, I wonder how I drank the coffee maker coffee before. ... View related article.
