TEA TREE OIL TIP

I picked up ringworm some how on my neck, for two

Months I tried everything from multiple prescriptions to

Nail polish, nothing worked! So I decided to do a little

Research on the Internet for home remedies and came

Across this website stating that tea tree oil has antifungal

Properties, so I decided to try it. I found a small 1 ounce

Bottle at our local pharmacy for 1.99$. This was pure not

Diluted. So I applied it to the ringworm and put a bandage

Over it that night. By morning it was halfway gone! I

Couldn't believe it! It really is amazing stuff. Cats are the

Main carrier of ringworm but I advise against the use of

This oil on animals. There are hundreds of reports of this

Use resulting in the death of the animals. Maybe this will

Help others in their search for a cure. ~ Kristan

 

ROACHES

I almost always enjoy and can use your tips. However,

I will be forever grateful for your recent issue containing

Recommendations for the use of Boric Acid for roaches.

I proceeded to look up some further information, actually

Trying to find out where one would buy boric acid and

Found this site. I believe that your readers may find it an

Excellent supplementary reading for your recommendation.

It also has a recipe from Heloise that some may prefer

Over peanut butter. It appears to be less messy. ~Betty

BISCUIT TIPS

I agree you shouldn't handle the dough overly much...my

Grandmother put her biscuit pan in the oven and heated

Up the oil (a little); spread a tad on 1/2 of dough, folded

The other half of the dough over the oiled half, cut her

Biscuits and then placed them in the pan, flipped them

Over once and then into the oven. The small amount of

Oil in the center makes them open right in half. ~seer

 

MORE POTATO TIDBITS

After reading the tips about hard spots in the potato's,

I thought I'd share my grandmother's tip. She would

Insert a 5 penny nail (large) into the middle of the

Baking potato. This would allow heat into the center

Of the potato. Personally, I use stainless steel nails

Today (easy to clean), but it still works perfectly. ~Brett

 

We just returned from two weeks in Idaho and Montana.

We were told Idaho potatoes get their distinctive flavor

From the soil they are grown in, rich in volcanic material.

"If it's not an Idaho potato, it's just a spud!)

Regarding the "hard potato issue"-- I live in FL and have

Found potatoes that have been kept in storage that is too

Cold are very hard to cook. We have that problem a lot

Because it is so hot here and potatoes tend to rot much

Faster and I am sure they are kept at a very cold temp. I

Use to store them in the fridge to keep them from rotting,

But then they would not cook right. Recently we took a

Trip up North and I brought some potatoes back with me

And they were delicious. No problem at all. ~Bella
