DOG TIPS!
Where To Find A Homeopathic Vet
You can find a homeopathic vet (DVM) by contacting the
National Center for Homeopathy at 703-548-7790.
Or you can consult their Web site by clicking here!
http://www.homeopathic.orgKeep Antifreeze away from Dogs and Pets
As you prep your car for winter, keep in mind that
antifreeze is extremely toxic to pets. Less than a
tablespoon can be deadly for a 10-pound dog. It tastes
sweet to animals, but can quickly send them into kidney
failure. If you suspect your dog has gotten into
antifreeze, get it to a vet immediately. Symptoms of
poisoning include increased thirst and urination,
depression and a wobbly gate.
Keep antifreeze off the floor of the garage or storage
building and cleaned up from all surfaces in the yard or
driveway. Also, ask your neighbors to do the same in case
your dog decides to go on a friendly visit next door.

HOUSEHOLD and KITCHEN TIPS!
Keep your cilantro and parsley fresh longer by placing the stems in a
cup of water, covering the leaves with a plastic baggy, and placing it
in the fridge.
When making patties, place the meat between two pieces of plastic wrap
or a baggie, and press the meat into a round shape. No greasy mess on
the hands or under the nails, and no bloody smell.
If you are on a tight budget... re-use the oil used for frying. Run the cooled oil
through a coffee filter. It comes in handy, and makes it last a lot
longer.
Don't leave leftovers in the box you bring them home in. You can't
see the food and it doesn't keep very long. Transfer the food to a
bowl or plate and cover with see-thru plastic wrap. If you can see it
you (or someone else) will be more likely to eat it, and you won't
have to throw it away later.
For cutting cakes when presentation matters, use dental floss. Pull
out a long strand, about 8 inches longer than your cake. Hold taunt
between your hands, cut with floss where you want your slices to be.
When you reach the bottom of cake with each slice, pull the floss out
one side. Slicing will be quick and uniform. Your cake will look
beautiful and your friends will be so impressed!
If you have excess herbs from your garden and don't know what to do
with them, dry or freeze them for future use. To dry, place on
parchment lined cookie sheet in 250F (120C) oven until dry and then
cool and store in tightly sealed glass jar. To freeze place
tablespoon size portions into ice trays and fill with water, freeze
and store in zip lock bags for later use. Just place a cube into
recipe and you have your herbs.
My husband and I buy in large quantities and store. Our warehouse
store has the best quality ground beef sold in six pound packages. I
use 1-quart, freezer zip-type bags and fill each one with 1 pound of
meat. I flatten it and try to get as much of the air out as possible.
I flatten it with a rolling pin, but my big strong husband just uses
his hands. The packages of meat stack in the freezer and the best
part is, they thaw in a very short period of time. The heavy duty
freezer bag keeps the meat fresh for a long time.
I have two young boys close in age and I am constantly cutting up food
to bite-size pieces. After struggling with a knife and fork for some
time I came up with this idea: I lay the food down and run across it a
few times with a sharp pizza cutter - very quick and less fight. It
works with just about everything.
I just recently came to the realization that the plastic cap from
large squeezable ketchup bottles is a perfect fit for most vegetable
oils sold in plastic bottles. Voila! A little squirt and no more
drippy mess!
If you have an old recipe that calls for soft or cake flour and don't
want to purchase a whole bag, you can make it by sifting together 2
parts cornstarch and 1 part all-purpose flour.
To easily remove corn silk: dampen a toothbrush and brush downward on
the cob of corn. Every strand will come off.
A good way to keep whole chilies fresh is to put them in an airtight
bag and freeze them. Then you simply remove them as you need them.
When frozen, they are also much easier to slice (particularly the
small Asian chilies). The best bit though is that you have less of a
problem with getting the 'juice' (capsaicin) on your fingers which can
burn like heck if you rub your eyes!
When your bananas start to get very brown, rather than throwing them
away, toss them in the freezer. When you want to make banana bread,
take 3-4 bananas out and let them defrost on the counter before adding
to the recipe.
Yummy Homemade Butter
Here's a fun, incredibly simple way for kids to help with
holiday meal preparations. Pour some heavy whipping cream
into a jar, and hand it to your kids. All they have to do
is shake the jar and pretty soon the cream will turn into
the best butter you've ever spread on a roll. To establish
a rhythm, begin the chant "Shake, shake, shake, butter we
will make."
Note: You should use a plastic jar when children are
involved. Plastic peanut butter jars work well for this
purpose.
Frost-Free Car Windows
If you don't have a garage and you live in an area where
houses are relatively close together, park your car
overnight between your and your neighbor's houses. If you
do, your car has a better chance of being frost-free in the
morning than if you leave it out in the open.
New Uses for 'Junk' Envelopes
Lots of junk mail includes return envelopes that are rarely
used. Rather than recycle these envelopes, save them.
They're perfect for sending notes to school, sending money
for the bake sale, grocery lists, or many other uses that
don't require a "good" envelope. Don't send your junk
envelope in the mail, though, even with a new stamp. Most
"junk" envelopes include return addresses, bar codes, and
prepaid indicias (that is, the box in the stamp area) that
won't "work" for individuals (they're for bulk mail).
Facial Care
You need to rinse your face thirty times
wash three times and rinse thirty...
it helps to moisturize the face after you break the oil barrier with soap
