For Radiant Summer Skin...Try a Peach Mask
Peel a ripe peach, remove the pit and pulse the fruit in a blender with 1 tablespoon of brandy. When it’s a purée consistency, smooth it on your damp face. Relax and leave it on for 20 minutes. Then rinse it off with lukewarm water and pat dry. (Throw away any leftover purée.) This mask should unmask a radiant complexion.

Oh, no, can't throw it away... to leftovers, must add a good splash of orange juice, a sprinkle of powdered sugar, some crushed ice and whirl in the blender until slushed for a great Fuzzy Navel.  It does sound like it would be a great facial mask. Will have to try it sometime. |

CROCKPOT SUCCESS TIPS:
* Buy roasts and other large cuts of meat that will fit in
your crock pot, or plan to trim them to fit.
* Remove skin from poultry and trim excess fat from other
meats before cooking.
* Fresh root vegetables, such as potatoes, carrots, and onions,
should be placed in the bottom of the pot, under the meat,
for faster cooking. They tend to cook more slowly than meat.
* When thickening sauces near the end of cooking time, turn
the heat setting to high to speed the process. Taste the
liquid first, though; if it lacks flavor, it may be best
to reduce by simmering several minutes uncovered.
* Do taste and season. Since slow cookers sometimes dilute
flavors over a long period, be creative with your seasonings.
Seasoned salt, garlic powder, seasoned pepper, and
complementary herbs and spices are best added near the end
of cooking.
* Colors tend to fade in slow cooked foods, but a garnishes
such as chopped fresh parsley, chives, tomatoes, red peppers,
cheese, or sour cream can add much visual appeal.

It just ain't right for a buzzard to have an ulcer....... Then that means you can't eat that crockpot BBQ. You can only fix it. And send it to the rest of us. |

Natural Headache Rx
Prepare a cup of green tea with sprigs of fresh mint, or combine a green tea bag and a peppermint tea bag to make a big, strong cup of headache-relieving tea. Drink the minty tea, and your headache should fade away in about 15 minutes.

ONION STORAGE TIPS
Store onions in a cool, dry place with good air circulation
and away from bright light and out of any direct sunlight.
Place onions at least one foot away from walls to provide
air movement.
DO NOT store whole onions in plastic bags as lack of air
circulation reduces storage life.
DO NOT store onions with potatoes as potatoes give off
moisture that can cause onions to spoil.

Caring for
"The Good Crystal"
We’re talking about the tumblers, stemware and serving pieces you only take out for company…special company…and on special occasions. To clean these irreplaceable treasures, fill a basin or the sink with a 3:1 combination of hot water and distilled white vinegar.
Note: For crystal that is really grimy or filmy, use 3 parts hot water to 2 parts distilled white vinegar.
When you wash crystal in the sink, line it with a fluffy towel or a rubber mat in case a piece slips out of your hands.
Once all the crystal is clean, rinse and dry each piece with a lint-free cloth. Your best bet in terms of lint-free is a linen towel, or a cloth made of at least 25% linen.
