GOT A COUGH, THINK PINEAPPLE JUICE
~
Did you know that pineapple is so healthy for you? 

It's filled with so much goodness in addition to the great taste. 

Pineapple is low-fat, is rich in fiber, and is packed with vitamins and

 minerals such as vitamin A, vitamin C, calcium, phosphorus, and potassium.

 Pineapple also contains manganese which helps build bones; and 

it has bromelain that gives the fruit an anti-inflammatory benefit. 

It can fight infections and kills bacteria.  

Something else I recently learned about the fruit is that the juice

 can suppress coughs five times more effectively than cough syrup.

Coffee Filters
~
Who knew!  And you can buy 1,000 at the Dollar Tree for

 almost nothing, even the large ones.

1. Cover bowls or dishes when cooking in the microwave.

 Coffee filters make excellent covers.

2. Clean windows, mirrors, and chrome. 

Coffee filters are lint-free so they'll leave windows sparkling.

3. Protect China by separating your good dishes with

 a coffee filter between each dish.

4. Filter broken cork from wine. 

If you break the cork when opening a wine bottle, 

filter the wine through a coffee filter.

5. Protect a cast-iron skillet. 

Place a coffee filter in the skillet to absorb moisture and prevent rust.

6. Apply shoe polish. Ball up a lint-free coffee filter.

7. Recycle frying oil. After frying, strain oil through

 a sieve lined with a coffee filter.

8. Weigh chopped foods. 

Place chopped ingredients in a coffee filter on a kitchen scale.

9. Hold tacos. 

Coffee filters make convenient wrappers for messy foods.

10. Stop the soil from leaking out of a plant pot. 

Line a plant pot with a coffee filter to prevent the soil from

 going through the drainage holes.

11. Prevent a Popsicle from dripping. 

Poke one or two holes as needed in a coffee filter.

12. Do you think we used expensive strips to

 wax eyebrows? Use strips of coffee filters.

13. Put a few in a plate and put your fried bacon, 

French fries, 

chicken fingers, etc on them. 

It soaks out all the grease.

14. Keep in the bathroom. 

They make great "razor nick fixers."

15. As a sewing backing. 

Use a filter as an easy-to-tear backing for embroidering or 

appliqueing soft fabrics.

16. Put baking soda into a coffee filter and insert

 into shoes or a closet to absorb or prevent odors.

17. Use them to strain soup stock and to tie

 fresh herbs in to put in soups and stews.

18. Use a coffee filter to prevent spilling when you

 add fluids to your car.

19. Use them as a spoon rest while cooking and

 clean up small counter spills.

20. Can use to hold dry ingredients when baking or 

when cutting a piece of fruit or veggies. 

Saves on having extra bowls to wash.

21. Use them to wrap Christmas ornaments for storage.

22. Use them to remove fingernail polish when out of cotton balls.

23. Use them to sprout seeds. 

Simply dampen the coffee filter, place seeds inside, 

fold it and place it into a plastic baggie until they sprout.

24. Use coffee filters as blotting paper for pressed flowers. 

Place the flowers between two coffee filters and

put the coffee filters in phone book.

25. Use as a disposable "snack bowl" for popcorn, chips, etc.
