I took your advice about freezing school lunches ahead of time. Last Sunday I made eight sandwiches and a batch of chocolate chip cookies which I then put in the freezer. I have gotten rave reviews back from the kids, and have had much more relaxed mornings before school.

Combine that with other family members "forgetting" to put the jar back upside down, and I'm a convert to the mixer.

I've tried the funnel & bottle ideas found on the web also, but the flies just landed on the edge, almost mocking me. The flat dish with an edge is the only vessel that worked for me.<br /><br />Thanks for the input!Evelyn Cucchiarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13065402127158660602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8351493653563730674.post-66871840630748612532011-08-16T18:08:19.400-04:002011-08-16T18:08:19.400-04:00Apple cider vinegar, beer and coffee work too!

It seemed like a real pain at the time, but it taught me a lot about being organized. If you can't leave paper in piles on your desk, you have to organize it before you put it away, or you'll never be able to figure out what you should be working on or where the necessary paperwork is. The same principles apply at home!Janet Barclayhttp://organizedassistant.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8351493653563730674.post-77726757908978513302011-08-07T09:01:36.419-04:002011-08-07T09:01:36.419-04:00I made it again last night using frozen blueberrie...I made it again last night using frozen blueberries.
