Don’t dump leftover coffee down the drain! It’s perfect for homemade granitas, popsicles, smoothies, and iced lattes. Add cream, flavoring and/or sweetener as desired & you’ve got a practically free dessert or snack.
Next time you get bugs in your Instant Grits don’t toss them out. Just sprinkle them right on any ant mounds in your yard or in the area of your home where the ants are congregating. Ants eating grits = dead ants!
I’ve used this solution for eliminating fruit flies for several years now. It gets rid of them in a couple of hours. Fill a shallow, large bowl or pan no more than half full with soapy water (squeeze your soapy sponge into the water). Fill a smaller container with a sweet vinegar or sweet wine (dump leftovers from the glasses from dinner). Set this container in the center of the larger container and place them both in the area where fruit flies are congregating.
The flies gravitate to the sweet vinegar or wine and drown in one of the two containers.
Use soup cans as weights for working out your arms. They weigh approximately one pound and are great for beginners or for a light workout on a day you can’t get to the gym. You can move up to the larger family-size soup cans which weigh about two pounds.
