Crock Pot Fried Rice

I recently tried this recipe that I found on A Year of Slow Cooking website and this has now become a favorite easy recipe that I am sure I will make many times.  Crock Pot Fried Rice

Here is our new bulletin board in the adult Sunday School room.

Another Pinterest Find!

This is one of the first things I discovered on Pinterest and so today when I was at the thrift store I picked up the two glass containers that I needed to make this very useful item for the restroom. 

One round glass container filled with cotton balls:


One smaller glass container filled with q-tips:


Put the smaller glass container on top of the bigger one and you have a very handy but pretty container to hold your cotton balls and q-tips!


This only cost me $1.25 so I am very happy with my latest pinterest find!

Pinterest

A few months ago I discovered a wonderful website call Pinterest.  Pinterest is  a virtual bulletin board, a social book-marking site. Pinterest is like the best magazine ever – no ads, just great things to look at and get inspiration from.   I have learned so many new things on this site and admittedly I have also wasted A LOT of time there!
Here is a link to my pinterest boards Trudy's Pinterest Boards
If you are interested in joining Pinterest just send me an email and I will send you an invitation.

Yesterday I made a big mess on my iron and I needed a way to get it clean.  I have used the cleaning stuff from the store before but it smells so caustic that I did not want to use that again.  I did a quick search on Pinterest and I found a very easy inexpensive way to clean my iron.  Just sprinkle about 1/2 cup of salt on a brown paper bag and run your iron over the paper until your iron looks great again.
Here are my pictures for proof that it works!

Don't you agree that it did a great job and it was so easy without having the very bad smell!
