Hints From Heloise

Dear Heloise: We enjoy clipping cartoons for our refrigerator door. When we’re done (or the fridge gets overloaded), we pass some along to friends and relatives who we think will enjoy them too, but some are just too good to give away.

So, I bought an inexpensive photo album and started keeping them that way. Whenever you need a good laugh, years of your favorite cartoons are right at your fingertips! - Julie Allender Durrance, Covington, Va.

Our fridge door has some pretty yellowed cartoons on it, and you are right, they are keepers! A laugh a day helps keep the doctor at bay. - Heloise

Dear Heloise: One of my most helpful hints is to use a hand potato masher for breaking up ground meat when cooking it. It works great for mashing the meat when you make tacos or chili. - Carrie Bly, Havelock, N.C.
