And last, but not least, they say you can't get blood out of a stone. Well how about getting juice out of a lemon. If you've ever tried putting the squeeze on a lemon, you’ll know what I mean. Most times you end up with more perspiration than lemon juice. Well, here's a handy tip Now, going from breakfast to dinner, let's climb aboard the gravy train. You know, I don't think anything quite enhances food like a good rich gravy. However, if, in the pursuit of such a trea- sure, you accidentally bum your gravy ... fear not! A quick trip to the pantry will save the day ... or the gravy in this case. It's said. that a spoonful of peanut butter stirred into burnt gravy will help remove the scorched taste. And no, you don't have to worry about the gravy sticking to the roof of your mouth! It's said if you simply dip the raw bacon in cold water first and then pop it into your frying pan, you should find the bacon fries up much fatter, which makes your sandwich-making much easier ... it also looks better on the plate that way. Have you ever tried to make a bacon sandwich with nice crispy bacon that just won't lie flat? You know what I mean ... it just sits there, all curled up and unco- operative. Well, don't do anything rash with your rashers. Here's a way to per- wade your bacon to lie flat ... and no, it doesn't involve a steam iron! You know, there are some things you can never get enough of ... and one of them is a good kitchen hint!

If you're in the middle of a paint- ing job and you have to take a break ... like to sleep. rather than spending time cleaning your brush. you could try this temporary measure I heard about. Just slip the brush into a plastic sandwich bag, seal it and pop it in your freezer. When you're ready to start painting again. remove your paintbrush popsicle and within minutes you're on your way! Picasso or Michelangelo did. But then, they didn't have to put up with the messy rollers and paint trays that we do! However, here's a neat tip I heard of that should make your cleanup a lot easier. Before you start, place your roller tray inside a plastic shopping bag. This will act as a tray liner. Now you can pour your paint into the tray and complete your masterpiece. When it comes time for cleanup, simply slip the tray out and throw away the inverted. messy plastic bag. Presto ... a perfectly pristine paint tray! Most of us don't share the same enthusiasm for painting that perhaps I heard about. Just pop the offending lemon in a pot of cold water. Bring to a boil, remove it (with tongs of course), cut the lemon in half, squeeze it, and you should get almost twice the juice you would normally get! With half the effort!
