While performing a deep-clean on our kitchen this week, I found an old list of "all the best cooking tips" I compiled some time ago.

...To keep POTATOES from budding, place an apple in the bag with the potatoes.

...Stuff a miniature marshmallow in the bottom of a sugar cone to prevent ICE CREAM drips.

...Cure for headaches: Take a LIME, cut it in half and rub it on your forehead. The throbbing will go away.

...Don't throw out all that leftover WINE. Instead, freeze into ice cubes for future use in casseroles and other dishes.
