Craft Uses for Pill Folders?
If they are the matchbook-style or something similar, how about using them as mini-scrapbooks? Cover them with pretty paper (or fabric, ribbon, etc.) and use them as the book cover. For other ideas, Id have to see a picture, to be sure of what were talking...

Buy the fabric you like, along with Stitch Witchery (or its equivalent). Fold the edges 1/4 and finger-press it down. Fold over another 1/4, slip a piece of SW between the new fold and the rest of the napkin, iron it down to fuse it. For reversible napkins...

Moth balls have worked well for me in getting rid of skunks & other unwanted animals; I bet theyd work for possums, too. (And theyre cheap!) Sprinkle a few on the ground around the plants; replace them after rain or really heavy dew.

Skillet Chicken Parmigiana
Agreed - the only difference between white and brown eggs is literally the color of the shell, which is determined by which variety of chicken lays them. There is no nutritional difference whatsoever.

Ive used the commercial kind on colored clothes without problem. Test it in a seam allowance, though, because some fabrics that SHOULD be colorfast sometimes arent!

Salt and Vinegar Weed Killer

All Natural Weed Killer
If you ever plan to use that area for planting, do NOT use the salt. If you are looking for a permanent solution (between pavers, etc.), then the salt is fine.

Attosa's Skinny Zebra Cake

Quick Oven Hard Boiled Eggs
FWIW, I dont even put them in tins. I just set them on the oven rack and bake them for 30 minutes at 325 degrees. Then, I immediately put them in a bowl of ice and water to stop the cooking and cool them enough to handle them.

You would lose some of the healthy by adding the yolks back in, but theres no reason it shouldnt work!

 

Baked Game Hens on plate

Oven Baked Game Hens
