 Dicas e curiosidades
 SABE O QUE É UM PALÍNDROMO? NÃO?!
Um palíndromo é uma palavra ou um número que se lê da mesma maneira nos dois sentidos, normalmente, da esquerda para a direita e ao contrário.
Exemplos: OVO, OSSO, RADAR, ARARA, OMO, AMA, ADA,
O mesmo se aplica às frases, embora a coincidência seja tanto mais difícil de conseguir quanto maior a frase; é o caso do conhecido:
SOCORRAM-ME, SUBI NO ONIBUS EM MARROCOS.
Diante do interesse pelo assunto (confesse, já leu a frase ao contrário), tomei a liberdade de seleccionar alguns dos melhores palíndromos da língua de Camões... Se souber de algum, acrescente e passe adiante.

Amazing Useful
Information - DID YOU KNOW?
BANANAS - Peel a banana from the bottom and you won't have to pick the little
'stringy things' off of it. That’s
how the primates do it. - Take your bananas apart when you get home from the
store. If you leave them connected at the stem, they ripen faster.
KEEP CHEESE FRESH - Store your opened chunks of cheese in aluminum foil. It
will stay fresh much longer and not mold!
PICK PEPPERS - Peppers with 3 bumps on the bottom are sweeter and better for
eating.. Peppers with 4 bumps on the bottom are firmer and better for cooking.
LOT FAT GROUND BEEF - Add a teaspoon of water
when frying ground beef. It will help pull the grease away from the meat while
cooking.
RICH SCRAMBLED EGGS - To really make scrambled eggs or omelets rich add a
couple of spoonfuls of sour cream, cheese, or heavy cream in and then beat them
up.
REHEAT PIZZA - Heat up leftover pizza in a nonstick
skillet on top of the stove, set heat to med-low and heat till warm. This keeps the crust crispy. No soggy micro pizza. I saw
this on the cooking channel and it really works.
EASY DEVILED EGGS -
Put cooked egg yolks
in a zip lock bag. Seal, mash till they are all broken up. Add remainder of
ingredients, reseal, keep mashing it up mixing thoroughly, cut the tip of the
baggy, squeeze mixture into egg. Just throw bag away when done easy clean up.
EXPANDING FROSTING
- When you buy a
container of cake frosting from the store, whip it with your mixer for a few
minutes. You can double it in size. You get to frost more cake/cupcakes with
the same amount. You also eat less sugar and calories per serving.
REHEATING REFRIGERATED BREAD - To
warm biscuits, pancakes, or muffins that were refrigerated, place them in a
microwave with a cup of water. The increased moisture will keep the food moist
and help it reheat faster.
NEWSPAPER WEEDS AWAY
- Start putting in
your plants; work the nutrients in your soil. Wet newspapers, put layers around
the plants overlapping as you go cover with mulch and forget about weeds. Weeds
will get through some gardening plastic they will not get through wet
newspapers.
BROKEN GLASS - Use a wet cotton ball or Q-tip to pick up
the small shards of glass you can't see easily.
NO MORE MOSQUITOES -
Place a dryer sheet
in your pocket. It will keep the mosquitoes away.
SQUIRREL AWAY! - To keep squirrels from eating your plants, sprinkle your
plants with cayenne pepper. The cayenne pepper doesn't hurt the plant and the
squirrels won't come near it.
FLEXIBLE VACUUM - To get something out of a heat register
or under the fridge add an empty paper towel roll or empty gift wrap roll to
your vacuum. It can be bent or flattened to get in narrow openings.
MEASURING CUPS - Before you pour sticky substances into a
measuring cup, fill with hot water. Dump out the hot water, but don't dry cup.
Next, add your ingredient, such as peanut butter, and watch how easily it comes
right out.
REOPENING ENVELOPES
- If you seal an
envelope and then realize you forgot to include something inside, just place
your sealed envelope in the freezer for an hour or two. Viola! It unseals
easily.
GOODBYE FRUIT FLIES
- To get rid of pesky
fruit flies, take a small glass, fill it 1/2' with Apple Cider Vinegar and 2
drops of dish washing liquid; mix well. You will find those flies drawn to the
cup and gone forever!
GET RID OF ANTS - Put small piles of cornmeal where you see
ants. They eat it, take it 'home,' can't digest it so it kills them. It may
take a week or so, especially if it rains, but it works and you don't have the
worry about pets or small children being harmed!
INFO ABOUT CLOTHES DRYERS – VERY IMPORTANT!!!
The heating unit went
out on my dryer! The gentleman that fixes things around the house for us told
us that he wanted to show us something and he went over to the dryer and pulled
out the lint filter. It was clean. (I always clean the lint from the filter
after every load of clothes.) He told us that he wanted to show us something;
he took the filter over to the sink and ran hot water over it. The lint filter
is made of a mesh material . I'm sure you know what your dryer's lint filter
looks like. Well ... the hot water just sat on top of the mesh! It didn't go
through it at all! He told us that dryer sheets cause a film over that mesh that's
what burns out the heating unit. You can't SEE the film, but it's there. It's
what is in the dryer sheets to make your clothes soft and static free .. that
nice fragrance too. You know how they can feel waxy when you take them out of
the box . Well this stuff builds up on your clothes and on your lint screen.
This is also what causes dryer units to potentially burn your house down with
it! He said the best way to keep your dryer working for a very long time (and
to keep your electric bill lower) is to take that filter out and wash it with
hot soapy water and an old toothbrush (or other brush) at l east every six
months. He said that makes the life of the dryer at least twice as long! How
about that!?! Learn something new everyday! I certainly didn't know dryer
sheets would do that. So, I thought I'd share!
