Helpful Answers From Granny!

As we were walking by, we saw granny sitting on a rocking chair,,
and thought it would be the perfect time to ask her advice
about some daily problems we’ve been having around the house!

“Granny! Our kitchen has been invaded by the nearest ant nest!”
says: ‘Ants hate cucumbers. Find the ant hole and leave
cucumber skin next to it, they won’t poke their little heads out!’

“Granny! Our ice always comes out ‘foggy’ and opaque, how can we make
nice clear ice?”
says: ‘If you want clear ice, just boil the water before you
freeze them and keep them isolated, it’s the other particles in the
water that makes it look dirty.’

“Granny! I got chewing gum stuck on my favorite shirt and I can’t get
it off!”
Says: ‘If you have chewing gum stuck to your clothes, put them
in the freezer for about an hour. Then you should be able to simply
remove the frozen chewing gum by hand.’

Granny next to her: ‘Sorry to cut in, but tell them they can also
smear a tiny bit of peanut butter on it and let it sit. The fat in the
butter will cause the chewing gum to love its hold.’

“Granny! We have unwanted guests in the house – rats!”
says:’Spill some black pepper where ever you find mice or rats,
they’ll take one sniff and head for the hills!’

“Granny! My hair has lost its luster and spark!”
says: ‘If you want luster in your hair (personally I prefer
distinguished grey hair), add a spoon of vinegar and then wash really
well. The luster and shine will reappear!’

“Granny! I can never squeeze all the juice out of lemons, there’s
always more left over.”
says: ‘Soak the lemons in hot water for one hour, and then
you’ll easily squeeze out all the juice.’

“Granny! Remember that shirt I stuck my chewing gum to? Well now I
spilt ink on on it!”
(rolling her eyes) says: ‘Get some toothpaste and rub it on the
ink stains. Then let it completely dry and take it to the wash. If you
acted fast enough, you just may get a clean shirt back.’

“Granny! How can I stop my eyes from watering while I cut onions?”
says: ‘There are several ways. First you can cut the onions
under cool water, and suprisingly, chewing gum while cutting will
sometimes lower the need for tears.

Granny next to her: ‘Sorry but I’d like to add that you can also light
a candle near the cutting board, the fire burns the gases that cause
your eyes to water.

“Granny! Every time we clean the mirror, we leave obvious marks on it.
How to make it completely clean?”
says: ‘To clean the mirror so it will look new and shiny, clean
first with regular cleaning material to remove the dirt and dust
layers. Then mix a glass of vinegar with a quarter cup of water and
use some newspaper to gently clean the mirror. After that go over that
wet area with a fresh and dry newspaper. The mirror will look as new.

“Granny! I don’t have much time and I’m hungry, how can I boil potatos
faster?”
Says: ‘Peel one side of each potato before you boil them, and
they’ll be ready much faster.’

Granny next to her: ‘Sorry again, but I’d like to add a little tip –
to keep peeled potato in their fresh white color, soak them in cold
water and add a few drops of vinegar before putting in the fridge.
says: ‘Sorry and sorry again! Maybe enough butting in? They’re
asking me!

Granny next to her: ‘Sorry.’

“Granny! It takes too long to peel sweet potatos!”
says: ‘Boil them, and then immediately soak in cold water for a
few minutes. The peeling will be much easier.’
