Granny's Old Fashioned Common Sense: Going Green
http://granny-green.blogspot.com/2012/01/going-green.html
Thursday, January 5, 2012. Checking out at the grocery store recently, the young cashier suggested I should bring my own grocery bags because plastic bags weren't good for the environment. I apologised and explained, "We didn't have this green thing back in my earlier days." The clerk responded, "That's our problem today.

Granny's Old Fashioned Common Sense: Do spices get old?
http://granny-green.blogspot.com/2011/12/do-spices-get-old.html
Friday, December 30, 2011. Do spices get old? Actually, spices won't spoil, but they will lose potency over time, and in general, they're best if used within six months of purchase. They should be stored in a cool, dry place, and if you're unsure of a spice's freshness, take a sniff - if there's no smell, toss it and restock. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Granny's Old Fashioned Common Sense: Scratches on Wood Furniture?
http://granny-green.blogspot.com/2012/01/scratches-on-wood-furniture.html
Thursday, January 12, 2012. Scratches on Wood Furniture? Scratches on your wooden floor or a piece of wood furniture driving you nuts? You can have a quick fix to this problem with a Brazil nut or a pecan. Break open the nut and rub the raw part where the scratch is. The natural oils that are so tasty do a double job by darkening the wood and making the imperfection blend in. Wipe with a soft cloth to remove any residue from the nut.

Granny's Old Fashioned Common Sense: October 2011
http://granny-green.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 11, 2011. Use Honey Instead of Sugar. Honey is twice as sweet as sugar, so you can substitute honey for half what sugar the recipe calls for. And, if you do, just reduce the other liquids in the recipe by one-quarter cup for every cup of honey added. Lower the baking temp by 25 degrees, too, since honey browns faster.
