HIDE AND SEEK
Dear Heloise: When I have leftovers, I always store them in clear jars with clear tops. This way I can check to see what I have on hand at a glance, and things are less likely to stay in the refrigerator until they grow mold. Then on Friday evenings we sit down to a week of leftovers. I warm them up, add a few new spices, and it makes for an interesting meal. -- Terry H., Belgrade, Mont.
ONIONS AND PANTYHOSE
Dear Heloise: I had several pairs of pantyhose, so I washed them, dried them and placed onions in the legs. After I place an onion in the pantyhose, I tie a tight knot to separate it from the next onion. This lets air circulate around the onions and prevents rot from spreading from one onion to the next. When I want an onion, I just snip off the bottom onion because the knot at the bottom keeps the other onions from falling out. -- Alice C., Ludlow, Vt.
