Fresh herbs don’t last long in the refrigerator. Instead of tossing them in the trash can freeze them instead. Grab an empty ice cube tray and fill each section 3/4s of the way full with chopped herbs. Add olive oil until it nearly reaches the top. When the time comes just toss a few herb cubes into your saucepan for quick and easy seasoning.
Insert Trash Bags the Correct Way
Do you wrestle with your trash bags and trash can liners when replacing them? Next time you pull a fresh bag off the roll consider inserting the bag or liner like a pro. Simply slide the open end of the bag over the can as if you were putting on a hat. Then gently push the bag or liner down into the can. The bag will naturally unfurl as you place trash inside.
Dust Free Drilling
Hanging some curtains? Installing a shelf? Don’t let cleaning up the drywall dust from the hole drilling take up more time than the actual project itself. Drill with a vacuum hose directly below your hole and your cleanup will be done before you know it.
