And like me, you're probably going to wonder, "Why didn't I think of that!" NO MORE HIGH-WATERS. While doing the laundry one day, I got to thinking that if cotton shrinks it, probably stretches, too. I decided to experiment on my kids' jeans, thinking that if I could make the legs longer we could squeak out more wear. After washing, I folded a pair of wet jeans in half lengthwise and laid them on a beach towel on the floor. Then I stood on the jeans and grabbed the hem of one of the legs. I carefully, but forcefully, began to pull up. I could feel the fabric stretching compared to the other leg. I flipped the pants over and did the same thing to the other leg. When I was done stretching the legs, I hung them up to dry. After they were dry, I tossed them in the dryer for a couple of minutes to take away the stiffness. Jeans come out a couple of inches longer with this method than if I simply toss them in the dryer. -- Sandy, Minnesota cutter, and the grand- kids love it! -- Margie, New York BABY POWDER FOR SPOTS. Baby powder is a great cloth- ing saver. I use it to remove oily spots from silk and cotton sweaters. I cover the spot with baby powder and let sit overnight. In the morning, I brush off the powder with a towel. I have had sever- al colorful silk suits last for years, thanks to this trick. And I always pack it when I travel. -- Darcy, email egg cooks in the shape of the cookie SHAPED EGGS. When I'm making eggs for my grand- kids, I pour the egg into a metal cookie cutter that I've spritzed with Pam and put on the hot frying pan. The Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate stack bowls or kitchen equipment that I rarely use, they end up get- ting dusty before I use them again. To prevent this from hap- pening, I take a shower cap and stretch it over the top of the items. The cap keeps the dust out. -- Christy, Oregon CAP THE BOWLS. When I HERB CUTTER. When chop- Forum will be 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 13, in the Memorial Hall of All Saints Episco- pal Church, 2150 Benton Drive, Redding where the topic will be Talking Up What You've Written Down. College speech instruc- tor Robb Lightfoot shares his expertise on the entire process of promotion. Tai- lored for writers, Light- foot's presentation will cover the traditional speak- ing situation with 30 or more people in the room, and he'll also offer advice on how to handle smaller groups and even one-on- one encounters such as pitch sessions. He will encourage the view of pro- motion as inviting people into a conversation about the writer's work and will cover how to stay on top of technology and the effec- tive use of websites and blogs to gain an audience. His talk will incorporate some of the techniques he uses with his public speak- ing students such as prac- ping herbs like basil, cilantro or parsley, I use a pizza cutter instead of a knife. It cuts a large amount of herbs quickly. -- Sharon, Idaho FRYING THE BEANS. Like Mary, I roast my own coffee beans. But I'm not ready to invest in a coffee roast- er, and I don't have an air popcorn popper. So, I roast my beans on the stove, in a cast iron frying pan (with the windows open and lots of ventila- tion!). Not only is the cof- fee delicious, but the fry- ing pan loves it. The oils in the beans give my pan a beautiful, smooth, sea- soned finish that it had never had before. -- Rosie, Arizona Would you like to send a tip to Mary?
