Did you know?

  • If a soup or stew is too salty, add raw cut potatoes. Discard them after they have cooked - they will have absorbed the salt.
  • If a soup or stew is too sweet, add salt. If a main dish or vegetable is too sweet, add a teaspoon of cider vinegar.
  • Can't remember if an egg is fresh or hard boiled? Just spin the egg. If it wobbles, it's raw. If it spins easily, it's hard boiled.
  • To avoid 'onion eyes' peel under cold water or refrigerate (or freeze) before chopping.
  • Meat loaf will not stick if you place a slice of bacon on the bottom of the pan.
  • To soften rock-hard brown sugar, simply add a slice of soft bread to the package and close the bag tightly. In a few hours the sugar will be soft again.
  • Place green fruits in a perforated plastic bag. The holes will allow air to circulate while retaining the ethylene gas that fruits produce during ripening.
  • If your stew is slightly burnt, milk will take the burnt taste out.

Yes, we offer cleaning services!


You own a small business and can’t afford to pay “an arm and a leg” for cleaning services. After a long day work, cleaning is the last thing you want to do. What about having clients/customers coming to meet you at your office and you did not have a chance to even touch up? That is when we come in. Our job is to help you out without causing stress. You pick the days of the week you need us there and we will take care of the general cleaning.

If you don’t own a small business it is ok too. We also offer residential services too.

Whoever looks at the end of your aluminum foil box?...


Was this something we were supposed to learn from our Mom's????? I can't believe it's been there all this time.

I had to go into the kitchen and check this out for myself. Whoever looks at the end of your aluminum foil box?

You know when you try to pull some foil out and the roll comes out of the box. Then you have to put the roll back in the box and start over. The darn roll always comes out at the wrong time. Well, I would like to share this with you.
One day I went to throw out an empty Reynolds foil box and for some reason I turned it, and looked at the end of the box. And written on the end it said, Press here to lock end. Right there on the end of the box is a tab to lock the roll in place.

How long has this little locking tab been there? I then looked at a generic brand of aluminum foil and it had one, too. I then looked at a box of Saran wrap and it had one too! I can't count the number of times the Saran wrap roll has jumped out, when I was trying to cover something up.

I hope I'm not the only person that didn't know about this. I know you're going to go and check your boxes, so go ahead!
