The Unique Bluebird

Hi there. A 5 gallon pail made with 2 cups vinegar (any kind will work, but the white kind leaves less of a vinegar smell) to 3 or 4 gallons of water will give you a cleaning agent 2nd to none. I have always used pine-sol for cleaning, but it doesnt do justice...

Miniature Pies Baked in Canning Jars
What a great idea for live alones like me. I am a pie junkie but usually end the month with a couple of pies that are horribly gone by. You know the ones, sort of hard and rubbery around the crust edge. Yuck. This idea lets you freeze multiples for fresh baked...
