Cooking hot dogs on the grill today? Don't grab them with a fork to turn them over.

I always pierce hot dogs when I cook them in the microwave or on a grill. It's something I've always done since I was a kid, thinking that opening a hole in the hot dogs will make them cook faster or more thorough. But you actually don't have to pierce the hot dogs with a fork. Use tongs instead! In fact, you should use tongs a lot anyway, to turn food. It's like having another hand.

While we're at it, don't go overboard pressing those burgers down on the grill either. The juices will escape and you don't want that.

I know you told people about Peanut Butter getting gum out of carpet but Mom's next time your little girl gets gum in her hair instead of cutting it out use Peanut Butter put it in her hair let it sit for an hour then was the gum out with shampoo.
