I am going on a trip in 3 days. I will be visiting my dad whom I haven't seen in 14 years. I am super excited. I will be gone for 2 weeks, it will be a nice break. I need one about now! I have been super busy of late and will be glad for the time away. Things your mother should have told you....
1. Stuff a miniature marshmallow in the bottom of a sugar cone to prevent ice cream drips.
2. Use a meat baster to "squeeze" your pancake batter onto the hot griddle and you'll get perfectly shaped pancakes every time.
3. To keep potatoes from budding, place an apple in the bag with the potatoes.
4. To prevent eggshells from cracking, add a pinch of salt to the water before hard-boiling
