Helpful tips
Here are some tips I've picked up that I thought people would find helpful.
1. When using homegrown eggs, it is probably a good idea to crack them each into a small bowl before adding to your pan of corned beef hash. This will save you from ruining the corned beef hash by accidentally dropping a rotten egg into it.
2. Be sure to eat a decent lunch every day, otherwise when you do accidentally dump a rotten egg on your almost made dinner, you can move on and not have it become the end of the world.
2. Dried beet chips, like kale chips, are delicious and healthy(ish) salt and oil delivery system. I made a bunch today and children were fighting over them. Probably it is not the best choice to take to an appetizer and desert potluck. My children will be happy that there are more to fight over.
3. Some days it's okay to cry uncle, and let the children have a day off school so that you can make order out of chaos in the rest of the house.
4. Don't leave a frame of honeycomb from a beehive sit uncovered on your kitchen counter, or a cat might sit in it. Thankfully this was after all the honey had been taken from it. The bees will have to deal with the cat hair.
5. Always have dried noodles on hand so that you have something to feed your children for lunch on the day before shopping day after a week of hungrier than normal children.
6. If you are ripping the seams out of an old feather bed, be sure to wash it inside out first. Otherwise, you will soon find yourself covered with little fluffy down feathers that were caught in the very bottom.
and...
7. Leave large signs around your bedroom so that the tooth fairy will remember to leave money for the four teeth for which she owes. Otherwise you face the possibility that the tooth fairy will be fired.
Hope these help someone's day go a little bit more smoothly.
