I posted this a few years back... some good info:
COFFEE FILTERSCoffee filters .... Who knew! And you can
buy 1,000 at the Dollar Tree for almost nothing even the large ones.
1. Cover bowls or dishes when cooking in the microwave. Coffee filters make excellent covers.
2. Clean windows, mirrors, and chrome... Coffee filters are lint-free so they'll leave windows sparkling.
3. Protect China by separating your good dishes with a coffee filter between each dish.
4. Filter broken cork from wine. If you break the cork when opening a wine bottle, filter the wine through a coffee filter.
5. Protect a cast-iron skillet. Place a coffee filter in the skillet to absorb moisture and prevent rust.
6. Apply shoe polish. Ball up a lint-free coffee filter.
7. Recycle frying oil. After frying, strain oil through a sieve lined with a coffee filter.
8. Weigh chopped foods. Place chopped ingredients in a coffee filter on a kitchen scale.
9. Hold tacos. Coffee filters make convenient wrappers for messy foods.
10. Stop the soil from leaking out of a plant pot. Line a plant pot with a coffee filter to prevent the soil from going through the drainage holes.
11. Prevent a Popsicle from dripping. Poke one or two holes as needed in a coffee filter.
12. Do you think we used expensive strips to wax eyebrows? Use strips of coffee filters.
13. Put a few in a plate and put your fried bacon, French fries, chicken fingers, etc on them. It soaks out all the grease.
14. Keep in the bathroom. They make great "razor nick fixers."
15. As a sewing backing. Use a filter as an easy-to-tear backing for embroidering or appliqueing soft fabrics.
16. Put baking soda into a coffee filter and insert into shoes or a closet to absorb or prevent odors.
17. Use them to strain soup stock and to tie fresh herbs in to put in soups and stews.
18. Use a coffee filter to prevent spilling when you add fluids to your car.
19. Use them as a spoon rest while cooking and clean up small counter spills.
20. Can use to hold dry ingredients when baking or when cutting a piece of fruit or veggies.. Saves on having extra bowls to wash.
21. Use them to wrap Christmas ornaments for storage.
22. Use them to remove fingernail polish when out of cotton balls.
23. Use them to sprout seeds. Simply dampen the coffee filter, place seeds inside, fold it and place it into a plastic baggie until they sprout.
24. Use coffee filters as blotting paper for pressed flowers. Place the flowers between two coffee filters and put the coffee filters in phone book..
25. Use as a disposable "snack bowl" for popcorn, chips, etc.
OH YEAH THEY ARE GREAT TO USE IN YOUR COFFEE MAKERS TOO.

Yesterday I decided to make a Cherry/Pineapple Dump Cake.
Drain the pineapple well, saving the juice to drink! Spray the crock pot
with cooking spray. Add the pineapple..
Top with the cherry pie filling...
Add 3/4 of the package of yellow cake mix and top with sliced butter...
Turn on high for 3 hours, then reduce to low for last ½ hour....
OMGOSH, the house smelled so heavenly while it was cooking!
Later it was reruns for dinner, chair, wine, and Sleepless In Seattle with
Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. Wow, 1993. Brought back memories!!
All I know. Nuff said. Happy Saturday. Ciao.

Love Your Pet Day
What is not to love???
Love Your Pet Day is day to pamper your pet. People just love their pets,
and today is an easy excuse to spend time with them, and to give them special
treats. Whether its a dog, a cat, a fish, a pet snake, or your pet
rock......give them lots of love and attention today.
If you don't have a pet, maybe today is the day to adopt a pet. Take a trip
to your local Humane Society, and bring home an animal that needs you. It will
make you both feel
good.

My second job is as a dog bed.
Today is also cherry pie day- your dessert is close enough. Not to reach over and eat. Just to mark the day):-
The "Cherry Pie" day has been changed several times. Now it's Feb 22, George Washington's birthday... you know, the cherry tree... xo
Your dump cake looks delicious. I am always looking for something new to make for my bunco in May. That would be perfect topped with vanilla ice cream! :)
We don't have a pet anymore but do the masses of hummers we have count? We sure do take great care of them. TONS of sugar for their feeders that have to be refilled every day. Three feeders!

Yes, T, I would think the hummers count! Hope you buy your sugar at Costco... so much cheaper! xo
When John is going to Costco for other things he will buy the sugar. Last time I bought a 25 lb bag at Walmart Neighborhood Market. Don't remember the price but way cheaper than the other markets. (I had to have an employee lift and carry it for me) :)
