After a recent column in which I I described some of the challenges of widowhood found, I have received many requests for more solutions. Until there were more requests for single, I did not have that in place, in many cases, their problems were unique. elderly widows have told me that when they married, cooking and cleaning the domain of their wives have always - was so difficult for a kitchen. She was cleaning and cooking; he made minor repairs and pays the bills. Now I had to do both.
Other readers have told me that it saves in the period, nutritious meals for were really interested in - or even a small family. They also called for the cleaning tips. This writer is never as "Mrs. Clean "or a gourmet chef to be known; In fact, I'm pretty lazy when it comes to cleaning the house or spend time in the kitchen. Therefore, I make sure that the time spent in advance for planning. In this sense, column today is a selection of random ideas on these topics.
- Never rub and scrub the shower doors again: Once clean, remove the towel used to dry and clean your doors / walls while they are still wet.

- the freezer to make with ice cubes. Purchase a variety of plastic containers with square covers. They come in many sizes, and because of its shape, compact pile on the shelves. medium cup spaghetti sauce contains enough on one side (for me). You are also right for a dessert fruit size. The size of a cup of soup or cooked meat, covered with sauce used. It's large sizes of food boxes to.
- To mark the content, I use a black marker on adhesive tape strips. includes folding one end of the strip to itself and then write the container. Once on the top or on the sides glued made of plastic, with a flange is prefabricated to remove - and not spoiled container with a permanent marker was.
- Never microwave food in such containers. only runs the hot water tap on the ground until the food is loosened and then emptied the contents into a suitable glass or ceramic plate and heat in the microwave.
- Do not be afraid to cook large quantities of food that you really like - especially
Casseroles, stews or beans. There are different sizes of aluminum cans with covers that have a blade on one side and another carton. Choose the right size for a meal and make several meals in advance in the freezer to store.
- pancakes or waffles do seems hardly worth for everyone, but can be particularly the
is frozen in a toaster oven and reheated. Muffins and cookies and each gel type. Because he has done from the beginning ", you know, they are long and healthy day today in the kitchen is its rewards later when you are too tired to cook.
- has bought a precooked chicken at the grocery store, is a good buy. Place the bird
in a baking pan and heat to get the juice long to make a sauce. Enjoy the first meal with the bird. Then sliced meat, salsa is well covered when it freezes. Use it for hot sandwiches or casseroles. Chop the meat remains and reserve until the housing is clean enough to bring the broth to a boil. Add the minced meat and vegetables are ready for many nutritious meals.
Getting rid of in the washing machine of soap foam, fabric softeners and odor by passing through a run -
the cycle with the hottest water available and half a cup Soda borax.
- And finally, you will never be a pot of noodles or potatoes overflow if only
placing a wooden spoon on the top of the open pot.
No doubt they have add-saving tips to this list the time and labor, but now I hope these readers have answered have asked for it.
That's my view of the hill.
