Funny. I love the grilled cheese one. My son when he was in college used to do this. :thumbup:

There's a reason we need people to not be too serious about themselves- they are the ones who figure stuff like this out

That was cool stuff. I've been putting foil on my ironing board for years. If you keep a slice of bread in the container with your brown sugar it won't be hard. BUT the grilled cheese sandwich was SUPER

I read a foil tip online a few months ago and have had great success with it--

Wrap your celery in aluminum foil to keep it crisp and fresh.

Really works--I've kept celery for weeks this way!

DebbieJJ, Thanks for the tip on aluminum foil for grilled cheese. My husband hates the grease when it' buttered. Here's a tip for grilled cheese add sliced tomato and a sprinkle of oregano plus a sprinkle of grated parmesan cheese. YUMMY peterparley

Used the one making cheese sandwiches. My kids were tickled to see it when they were small. It helps to butter the bread so that it doesn't stick to the foil. Will try the dryer trick and save a bundle on dryer sheets.
