Baked Eggs in Avocado or Potato HalvesI baked these two healthy and hearty types of breakfasts for guests on Thanksgiving morning to hold us over until a later dinner.

You decide how many avocados or potato halves you need for your guests.

 

Homemade Tocino (Spanish Bacon)Tocino is famous in this country which is mostly served during breakfast time.

Salt for Removing Blood from ClothingRemove blood from clothing is by using salt. Where the stain is, get it wet and then cover the stain with salt and let it sit for about 10-20 minutes. Then when you are ready to wash it in the washer, add your regular amount of detergent you normally use, but add about 3-4 tablespoons of salt to your wash as well. Wash as usual, and you will get great results!
