Great Ues for Leftovers

Here are a few quick ideas for using some leftovers, besides those we use in tomorrow's meals.

Lemons:
Toss lemon rinds into your garabage disposal, whirl it around and you'll have a fresh smelling sink. Other citrus fruits work as well.

Cooked Rice:
Place leftover rice on a cookie sheet, place in a low temperature oven until completely dry. Put into freezer bag, seal and place in freezer. Now you have a cold pack for those bruises and aches and pains.

Coffee Grounds:
It's getting to be fireplace season. When you need to get rid of ashes, sprinkle damp coffee grounds on them to keep dust from flying around. Household plants like coffee grounds too and of couse if you are composting, they should go directly into your compost container.

Onion halves:
Got an indoor grill? Stick a fork in one end of the onion, and rub it on a still warm grill. Watch those stuck on bits disappear.

Flat Soda:
It makes a wonderful glaze on ham and pork. Just baste it as the meat bakes and you will most likely never roast them any other way.

Vinegar and Oil:
Not necessarily leftovers but they are good for more than salad. How about 'furniture polish'? I keep a jar under my sink with other cleaning supplies.

1.Combine 3 parts olive oil with 1 part white vinegar in a glass or ceramic container.
2.Apply the polish with a soft polishing cloth. Do not rub it in too hard but leave it to soak in.
3.Allow to air dry.

It really works great and no harsh chemicals.
