If you're tired of tossing out perfectly edible food, take a tip from today's first great reader, who's come up with a simple way to put a garbage disposer on a starvation diet. FREE SOUP. I keep three con- tainers in the freezer and label them "beef," "chicken" and "vegetables." After every meal, I toss all the tid- bits that aren't enough for another meal into their respective contain- ers. When my containers are full enough, I choose one of the meat containers and plop the contents into a little bit of water in a large pot. Then I add my veggies. When everything is thawed and heated through, I puree it in my blender and add some seasonings and milk. Voila! I have a wonderful pot of soup that is free because the con- tents were otherwise destined for the garbage. -- Lisa, Ontario TOOTHPASTE ZAPS GARLIC. When I cook with onions or garlic, I get rid of the odors from my hands with a dab of toothpaste. I rub it all over my hands and under my nails, and then I rinse it off. It works beautifully to get the odors out, and it seems to moisturize my skin, too. I keep a small tube of toothpaste under the sink for this. My hands end up feeling fresh and smelling a little minty, too. -- Jean, e-mail GLUE ON GLOVES. I wear gloves when I wash dishes, but I seem to go through pairs quickly. I decided to use glue on the most recent pair to spring a leak. There was a tiny slit in the thumb, so I stuffed it with a paper towel and applied a little Loctite gel. It worked great! I have used it three times now and have been able to use the same gloves for a lot longer than usual. -- Lisa, Texas smooth, with no major deep scratches or nicks, two coats will cover it. It worked really well for us. -- Brian, South Dakota SEASONING CAST Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate KITCHEN COUNTER REDO. We refinished our kitchen counter- tops, using Rust-Oleum countertop coating, which refinishes and restores any laminate surface. It costs about $25 for a quart, covers approximately 24 linear feet and can be tinted to 20 different colors. As long as the countertop is fairly IRON. I have used cast iron all of my cooking life and have found that using veg- etable oil to season the pan causes a sticky surface. Instead, I coat the pan with a thick layer of bacon grease or lard. I place the pan in an oven at 350 F for 15 minutes, pour off the excess grease and return the pan to the oven, where I leave it for two hours at 300 F. This works perfectly for seasoning every time. - - Lillie, e-mail Would you like to send a tip to Mary? You can e-mail her at mary@everydaycheapskate.com, or write to Everyday Cheapskate, P.O.
