Title: strange tips
Post by: crabbyob on March 24, 2022, 07:37:11 PM
I saw a great tip on facebook today
when you burn your toast [and who hasnt]
instead of either binning it or scraping it wi the knife
you simply put both slices together over the sink and rub them together
leaving you with perfect toast...

  I am now taking my bananas off the bunch so they do not ripen too fast..
A tip you gave us a few days ago.. and it works.

Once toast is burned that burned taste permiates the toast and remains however you remove the burned surface. I reckon that bread is cheap enough to chuck such calamities away.

But the toast has to go cold so that the Lurpak does not soak in.  Then add a tiny smear of raspberry seedless.

Salted French butter for me.. But not on warm toast.. I like the butter to sit on the top.
I don't really like burnt toast.. I would chuck it..

Salted Graham's butter spread with the toast straight out of the toaster - can't abide cold toast

I found a wee drop of bleach and a cup of white vinegar is great for cleaning and refreshing the washing machine, on a 60 wash. Do it a couple of times a year.

Also don't fully close the door when not in use, helps to keep bad smells away.

I will try the bleach and white vinegar in my washing machine..


Any hints on cleaning shower glass.. I know there are many products but they don't seem to do it properly..

I use a squeegee on it while still in the shower before getting out. That way you don't get anything that needs cleaning off.

Something like this https://www.wilko.com/en-uk/wilko-window-shower-squeegee/p/0437325

This was recommended to me by a girl on another forum ' Mr Muscle Shower Shine'  I've tried others, but always go back to this one.  :upvote:
