Never trust a dog to watch your food.
--Patrick age 10 Advice from Kids
I was cooking pancakes for my husband but used too much flour & they turned out a bit heavy. After we had eaten those left over were being thrown away by my husband when I stopped him as I wanted to feed them to the birds.
"Don't," my husband said. "They will not be able to fly!"
Boil a solution of 1/4 cup of vinegar and 1 cup of water in the microwave. Will loosen splattered on food and deodorize.
