Honey Hints Revisited

I hope you are not throwing away leftover Rotel Dip. Take it from my little folks, it is great stirred into macaroni and cheese. Also, when the littles eat their cereal and won't drink the milk at the bottom third of the bowl, give them a straw - preferably a coffee straw (or trim the regular straw a bit) - they will finish that dose of calcium every time. Speaking of straws, to keep your Mona Lisa smile its brightest, drink your coffee through a straw. Just ask my dental hygienist if this is effective. And lastly, the seemingly insignificant straw is a most helpful tool for food preservation. When freezing items for the future, use a straw to suck out all air from your zipbag.  Seal bag 99% closed, insert straw in corner, suck out air, then zip tightly. You will also know immediately if you have a defective bag. You certainly don't want freezer burn on those homemade cookies meant for special people in a few weeks.
