Pinterest - Why Didn't I Think Of That?

Today's Crafty Wednesday, but I've not been too crafty. I've been doing lots and lots of writing. Which of course, is a different type of crafting. 

Today I thought I'd do something a little different. Pinterest is a fun place to hang out. What can you not find on Pinterest? I'm going to share with you the things I've learned from this site that I never would've thought about before. 

Up first: My husband has been complaining about the static in our clothes. Finally after his last complaint, I decided to turn to Pinterest to see what I might discover. I in fact found a solution we are now using. Put safety pins in a sock and toss it into the dryer. I guess the metals zaps away the static.

Another thing I learned from Pinterest is to flatten my ground meat before freezing. I always put the square block in my freezer bag and tossed in the freezer. I ran across a pin where someone said flatten it. Duh! Less room and it will defrost quicker.

And finally, one last pin I came across to share that might be good for almost all of us in winter right now. Freeze a cup of water. Once frozen, place a penny on the top. In the event you loose power, keep the freezer shut. When power returns, check the cup. Supposedly, if the penny is still at the top, your food is still good. If your penny is at the bottom of the cup, you should toss your food out. So there's a penny for your thoughts. :)

Do you have things like this pinned on your boards? Please, share away! I love learning new tricks for things I wish I had thought of.
