If kitchen knives smell of fish or onion, plunge into the earth several times, and then wash in soapy water!

When making scones or biscuits, add some custard powder to the mix. It gives them a delicious, creamy flavor.

Save the dregs left in sauce and chutney bottles and the next time you're making a curry, add a little water and pour into the curry.

When making hamburger patties, I use a baggie to grab and shape the meat. This saves my hands from the yucky greasy "after making patties" feeling.

Kill household smells and have a fresh smelling house - put a few drops of wintergreen oil on a cotton ball. Place in a glass container. It will last for months and is as effective as room sprays.

When chopping onions, dip your fingers into vinegar beforehand to stop the smell getting onto your hands.

Peel a few potatoes, throw them in the pot and let them cook with the meal for about 20 minutes then just remove the potato and throw it away. The salt is absorbed into the potato MEAL SAVED!!
