Helpful Household Hints . . .
Take the hassle of measuring out shortening and channel it into a creative solution. If you need 1/3 cup of shortening, fill a measuring cup 2/3 full of water. Then add globs of shortening until water hits 1 cup mark. Voila! 1/3 cup of shortening with no muss or fuss!!
. . . substitute 3 T cocoa and 1 T oil or margerine for 1 oz of chocolate.
. . .
When peeling tomatoes for that special dish, spear tomato with a fork. Grab the end of the fork with a pot holder & hold the tomato over the [gas] range burner til tomato skin cracks. Then peel. . .
