Tip of the week
Cooking:
Wipe the blades of greasy knives with a peeled lemon. Wash under running
water. The greasiness will disappear.
Health:
Great stress reducer - arrange to spend just one entire evening all alone.
Take away your watch and all clocks, eliminate anything scheduled and allow no television.
Make no definite plans and do whatever feels right. Eat slowly, read leisurely, take a
long bath, and go for a slow walk. Don't rush - stretch, relax and go to sleep when you
are tired. Occasionally enjoy this type of mini-vacation at home to rejuvenate your
spirit!
