Any hints added to this section I have tried and they have worked for me.

NO Tears - Onions and if you have someone who doesn't like onions.   Cut the ends off, remove the onion skin and slice in half put the onion in a zip bag and put in freezer.  When you want to use - grate the onion on your cheese grater into your dish, it melts into your cooked sauce, eggs, hashbrowns, soups etc without the hassle of dicing. Put what you don't use back in the freezer.


Roux - melt 2 Tbs butter or margarine you can use olive oil as well, add in 2 Tbs of flour or corn startch cook together until smooth and bubbly add to soup and stir in. (if you want to make more roux - always use equal amounts of fat and flour)

Extra Grated Cheese doesn't clump together if you add a little bit of flour to it, shake it to cover and keep in a zip bag or container for use later.

To remove Red Wine from carpet....pour salt onto the stain let it soak up the wine - it will draw out the wine scoop up as much of the soaked salt as you can and let the area dry and vacuum up the salt.
