I just remembered another one- when you make cookies and want them to stay soft, put a piece of bread in there.

In each cookie, or just a bit in the batter?

In the container that you are storing them in. Change the bread every 2 days.

Re: Your Best Tips and Tricks For the Home!!
Does anyone have any tips for folding a fitted sheet? I cannot do it and usually they wind up a massive lump of cotton that I shove into the closet. I know it is possible because they come all nice and folded!

Compliments of Martha Stewart's website
Technique
Folding a Fitted Sheet
1. Start with your sheet inside out. While standing, hold the sheet in front of you, and place one hand in each of two adjacent corners.
2. Bring your right hand to your left, and fold the corner in your right hand over the one in your left hand, so that the corner on top is right-side out.
3. Keeping your left hand in place, reach down to the remaining two corners with your free hand, and tuck these corners into each other. Fold these corners over the first two. Your sheet should now be folded in quarters, with all four corners tucked inside one another.
4. Lay the sheet on a flat surface with the puckered end folded in over the flat part of the sheet. Touch up with an iron, if necessary, at this point. Fold two edges in, so all the elastic is hidden.
5. Fold the strip you have created into a rectangle, then continue folding until the rectangle is the size you want it to be.

Martha is crazy if she thinks I am whipping out my iron to iron sheets before I put them away
Actually my mom taught me this method long before Martha came along....

I put water and a little bit of dish soap into a pot with food stuck to it and then put it on the stove on low for about 15 minutes and it makes cleaning after dinner soooooo much easier!!!!!!!!!

I did it and it really worked. Warning though, the smell of vinegar is a bit overwhelming when you first open the microwave!

For those of you who wear the BC Patch when you take it off and it leaves that yucky glue line all around you can just wipe it off with some baby oil.

Also, if you're like me and constantly buy peppers only to not use them fast enough so they end up spoiling...
Stick them in a ziplock bag and put them in the freezer. When you need one just take it out and run it under lukewarm water for a few seconds and use as normal. If you have leftover pieces just put them right back. They keep forever.
