Coffee Filters, Honey and Cinnamon - OH MY!

I am amazed by the bulk of information that reaches me through casual e-mails!  Silly, funny and goofy, to warnings against scams and stalkers, common sense advice to tear-jerking real life stories.  The Information Age is at its apex!  I think Yeshua said something like "and knowledge will be increased".

Here's some advice and suggestions from a few e-mails I've been saving for our blog.  Read on and try these things at your own risk!  We don't take credit for the info but we find it worth sharing, as did the Originator of the E-mail (thank you!)

The Lowly Coffee Filter has found 

many a new purpose in our lives:

•Clean windows, mirrors, and chrome

•Protect China by separating your good dishes with a coffee filter between each dish

•Apply shoe polish. Ball up a lint-free coffee filter

•Recycle frying oil. After frying, strain oil through a sieve lined with a coffee filter

•Weigh chopped foods. Place chopped ingredients in a coffee filter on a kitchen scale

•Hold tacos. Coffee filters make convenient wrappers for messy foods

•Line a plant pot with a coffee filter to prevent the soil from going through the drainage holes

•Put a few in a plate and put your oily fried foods on them to soak up the oil

•Keep in the bathroom. They make great "razor nick fixers"

•Use a filter as an easy-to-tear backing for embroidering or appliquéing soft fabrics 

•Put baking soda into a coffee filter and insert into shoes or a closet to absorb odors 

•Use them to strain soup stock and to tie fresh herbs in to put in soups and stews

•Remove fingernail polish when out of cotton balls

•Dampen coffee filter, place seeds inside, fold it and place it into a plastic baggie until they sprout 

•As blotting paper for pressed flowers. Place flowers between two coffee filters and place in phone book

•Use as a disposable "snack bowl" for popcorn, chips, etc... 

•Use them as a spoon rest while cooking and clean up small counter spills

•Use them to wrap small items for storage

•Place filter in basket inside coffee makers to hold ground coffee!
