How many times have you pulled out the plastic wrap or foil only to have the roll come out of the box? Well, a friend showed me this. There are punch tabs on either side of the box. It will help center the roll and keep it in place.

My family loves fresh popped popcorn but the microwave varieties have so much stuff on them and the air popper is a pain to lug out. The solution: a brown paper bag. Microwave on high until the popping slows down. In my microwave, it takes about a minute and a half. Fresh popped, natural popcorn.
Have you ever cracked an egg and a piece of shell gets into the bowl? It always seems impossible to remove. But not if you wet your finger first. It will slip right through the egg white and you can grab the egg shell easily.
I hope these hints help to alleviate the frustrations in your kitchen. I'm Mrs. Fixit and it's just that simple.
