Many helpful hints

Hope this is the right place to put this.
I thought these would be very helpful and useful.
1. Reheat Pizza
>Heat up leftover pizza in a nonstick skillet on top of the stove, set
>heat to med-low and heat till warm. This keeps the crust crispy. No
>soggy micro pizza. I saw this on the cooking channel and it really

>3. Expanding Frosting
>When you buy a container of cake frosting from the store, whip it with

>17. INFO ABOUT CLOTHES DRYERS
>The heating unit went out on my dryer! The gentleman that fixes things
>around the house for us told us that he wanted to show us something and
>he went over to the dryer and pulled out the lint filter. It was clean.
>(I always clean the lint from the filter after every load clothes.) He
>took the filter over to the sink, ran hot water over it. The lint filter
>is made of a mesh material - I'm sure you know what your dryer's lint
>filter looks like. WELL...the hot water just sat on top of the mesh! It
>didn't go through it at all! He told
>us that dryer sheets cause a film over that mesh that's what burns out
>the heating unit. You can't SEE the film , but it's there. It's what is
>in the dryer sheets to make your clothes soft and static free - that
>nice fragrance too, you know how they can feel waxy when you take them
>out of the box, well this stuff builds up on your clothes and on your
>lint screen. This is also what causes dryer units to catch fire
>&potentially burn your house down with it! He said the best way to keep
>your dryer working for a very long time (& to keep your electric bill
>lower) is to take that filter out &wash it with hot soapy water &an old
>toothbrush (or other brush) a t least every six months. He said that
>makes the life of the dryer at least twice as long! How about that?
>Learn something new every day! I certainly didn't know dryer sheets
>would do that. So, I thought I'd share!
