Ruler to the Rescue

By Sandi/Poor But Proud

Using a ruler to gather up spilled birdseedI recently got a newish' bird feeder. I was trying to be careful pouring the seed into a funnel, then that overflowed. I had a lot of birdseed on my cutting board. I keep packaging supplies nearby and today just happened to have a ruler close. It occurred to me how much a straight edge might help.

Refrigerate Soup Overnight to Remove Fat

By 15mhhm15

A layer of fat on top of a refrigerated pot of soup.When making any soup that has meat, I recommend you to cook the soup a night in advance for the day that you'd like to eat the soup on. That way the soup can refrigerate and the following day, you can skim/filter out all that fat! It'll be so much healthier.

Sky High Artistry (Spiderweb)

By VeronicaHB

Sky High ArtistryWe recently had a large tree in our yard trimmed. When the work was finished it was sad to see tree standing there with no leaves adorning it. The morning after the tree was trimmed, I walked outside and saw that a spider found the tree to be an ideal place for her to display her artistic skills. The beauty of her web was an outstanding distraction from the bareness of the tree.

Maple Bacon Roast Chicken

By attosa

finished Bacon Roast ChickenThis is a super simple recipe that takes your whole roast chicken up a few notches. The bacon lends to the juiciness of the chicken, and the chicken's skin does a phenomenal job of crisping up the bacon. Brushed with some maple syrup as a finisher, this lightly-sweet savoury dish will be a family favourite!

Don't Discard Weather Beaten and Discolored Outdoor Fixtures

By Ana

Yellowed light fixtures atop a white fence post.Our dilemma was the case of the cream yellow fence caps with lights. When we purchased our fence (white), we also needed the caps to go on to the tops of the fence post. The caps were from a different provider and were great for the first 2 years. Then the caps began to turn more and more this creamy yellow color and the lights no longer worked.
