Now Here’s a Tip
By JOANN DERSON

 “The next time food bubbles over in your oven, don’t give it a chance to bake on and cool. Toss some table salt on the stuff while it is still liquid. When the oven cools, you’ll be able to wipe up the spill with a cloth.” — B.D. in Virginia

 “When it came time to clean and store our patio furniture, our pressure washer busted. My husband, genius that he is, loaded up the furniture in the truck and took it to the local carwashing place. He gave it a good cleaning, and it’ll be ready for us next summer. I thought others might be interested in this. — F.L. in Nebraska

 “Last year, my daughter made up little cards on the computer with a few of the recipes for our family’s holiday cookies. We packaged up several tins as normal, and included the recipe cards. They got such a response that we are including other recipes this year. People just love it.” — O.O. in California
