Dale! I have wrapped celery in aluminum foil and kept it for over a month! Also, either dust the cake pan with some of the dry cake mix or cocoa, if a chocolate cake, and it also works nicely. Also have used the apple in the bag of potatoes to keep them from budding. Sandy

I have not tried these so if you do, please let us know if they work or not... To keep potatoes from budding, place an apple in the bag with the potatoes. Buy Smash mashed potato mix. Keeps in the cupboard for up to a year. When a cake recipe calls for flouring the baking tin, use a bit of dry cake mix instead and there won't be any white mess on the outside of the cake. Go to the bakery! Hell, they'll even decorate it for you! Wrap celery in aluminium foil when putting in the refrigerator and it will keep for weeks. Celery? Never heard of it! Cure for headaches: take a lime, cut it in half and rub it on your forehead. The throbbing will go away. Take a lime, mix it with tequila, chill and drink! All your pains go away! Don't throw out all that leftover wine. Freeze into ice cubes for future use in casseroles and sauces. Leftover wine??????? HELLO!!!!!!
