Polly's pointers and handy home tips
A collage of reader tips and Polly’s notes from The Cedar Rapids Gazette. Advice covers stain removal with vinegar and cleaners, dishwashing hand cream, using a plastic bag in bowls for mess-free fruit prep, cutting pies into five pieces with a Y first, adding dehydrated onion soup for flavor, using foam meat trays for small gift packaging, and a reminder to avoid vinegar and bleach together in wash water. Includes a nod to Queen Marie Antoinette’s 1793 execution.
