FROZEN MEALS

Tired of mashing between fresh baby food day in and day out to satisfy your baby's growing appetite? Try this: Boil several veggies in a pot with some fresh beef soup bones, remove once soft, then srain and mash. Place in ice cube trays. Cover in foil and freeze. Once frozen, transfer to individual plastic bags (ice bags work just fine), label with the date then pop in the freezer. This will keep for about siz weeks without spoiling. Whenever your baby is hungry, you can just reheat the desired mashed veggie in the microwave, let cool, and serve. Each ice cube yields about two tablespoons of food. Mix different once if you want.

HOT MARKS

Help! I left a hot pizza box on my wooden table for half hour-now the wood is discolored. What can I do?

Heat marks can be tough to remove. Here's a method to try to lacquered surfaces only: Mix a dab of non-gel toothpaste with baking soda to make a paste. Rub gently over the stain until the paste feels warm. Then wipe clean with a damp cloth. You may have to repeat this process several times to lift the mark. Follow up with furniture polish or oil.

TOO CLOSE FOR COMFORT

What’s the best way to separate glassware that’s wedge together? Try a hot – cold approach. Place ice cubes in the top item (the cold will make it content) and put the bottom item or glass into a sink filled with hot water (heat will expand the glass). Let them sit for a few minutes and you should be able to pull them apart. No luck? Drizzle light weight machine oil between the nestled glasses. Let the oil seep down (it may take a few minutes), them gently jiggle the top item to free it. Hope this helps.
