It may sound strange but it's true - green onions can grow back when you save their white roots. How? Just cut off the green leaf and put the white ends in a cup of water. Put the cup on a sunny windowsill. The onions will start growing almost immediately, and you will be able to harvest the green leaves almost indefinitely. From time to time, empty the water, rinse the roots and return them to a cup of fresh water.
Ground, used, or dried coffee can be used to solve a lot of situations, so before you throw it away, you can:
• Use it as an ant repellent by spreading it a little where ants can be found.
• For skin peeling, you can massage coffee grains on your face and rinse.
• To fertilize plants, you can spread ground coffee on acidic earth
• To neutralize bad odors in the freezer, put a bowl of ground coffee inside (you can add a few drops of vanilla extract).
• To remove scents of foods from your hands, we recommend rubbing them together with ground coffee and then washing.
• To rid your dog of fleas, wash him, then rub ground coffee on his fur, and then wash him again.
Bananas that are too ripe may not be good for eating, but they can become delicious banana bread. So instead of throwing them away, make a terrific and delicious dessert.
You will need:
• 2 cups of flour
• 1 spoon of drinking soda
• 1/4 spoon of salt
• 1/2 a glass of softened butter
• 3/4 a cup of brown sugar
• 2 scrambled eggs
• 2 cups of squashed ripe bananas
Directions:
1. Pre-heat the oven to 347°F (175°C) and oil an English cake-baking mold.
2. In a big bowl, mix flour, baking soda, and salt. In a different bowl, mix butter and brown sugar.
3. Add the eggs and the squashed bananas to the butter and brown sugar bowl and mix well. Add the banana mix to the flour, baking soda, and salt bowl and mix well.
4. Pour it into a mold and put in the pre-heated oven for 60 minutes. Let the banana bread cool for 10 minutes, and then serve.
If you need to clean and you are out of good sponges, just put that old funky one in the microwave for 2 minutes. It will look much cleaner after 99% of its germs have been killed, and will be almost good as new.
CAREFUL! Do NOT put any sponges that have any metal fibers in them, as no metal can be put inside a microwave!
Don't throw away old bread! You can dice it, fry it with butter, and make delicious croutons for your salad or soup. HOW?
Dice the dry bread. Put a pan on a medium to high heat and melt a little butter. Put the diced bread in the pan and toast until all the sides begin to turn brown. When the bread has been toasted, remove from the fire. If you do not plan on using the croutons right away, let them cool and only then put them in storage.
While citrus fruit gives the body essential vitamins, its peel is also quite useful. It helps to keep away flying insects and ants, as well as neutralize moldy smells. Use scraped peel and rub it on surfaces that attract a lot of flying insects or ants.
Another option is to throw the peels in a blender, add a glass of water and grind until the mixture turns smooth. Then, pour the liquid on anthills or near the entrance of the house. To get rid of moldy smells, put an orange peel in a cloth bag and hang it in old closets. You can also throw a citrus fruit peel in the trash compactor to get rid of bad odors.
