Shopping for a Strawberry Slicer?Where can I buy a strawberry slicer? I'm not good with a small knife and ruined an egg slicer when attempting to use it for slicing strawberries.
Air Bubbles in Coffee Maker?I own a Braun electric drip coffee maker that has a glass/plastic side indicator that lets me know the amount of water I've put into the machine. Often air bubbles appear which interfere with the correct measurements. How do I get rid of these bubbles?
Cleaning a Thermal Coffee Pot?I have an electric coffee maker with a thermal pitcher. The lining, I think it's glass, of the pitcher never gets clean regardless of the product I use. Can you suggest a cleaner that will work?
Dishwasher Leaves Film on Plastic Ware?I use (for safety reasons) plastic cups, toothbrush holders, etc., in the bathroom. When I put these articles in the dishwasher, they come out with an ugly coating. Some plastics are more prone to this problem. Any suggestions for keeping the plastic crystal clear?
Shortening a Pleated Wool Skirt?I own a pleated merino (fine wool) skirt which has to be shortened. As I will not be able to do it myself, I want to know before I take it to the tailor, the best way to proceed. The skirt is a very fine merino wool and I would not like to do the wrong thing.
Repairing a Silk Scarf?I was given a superb vintage Hermes scarf by my mother-in-law. It has a poorly repaired tear which was done many years ago. I would like to have it rewoven or repaired correctly.
Widening Leather Shoes?I have extra large wooden shoe trees, but wonder if soaking the leather shoes (in water?) before using the shoe trees might work? Or does someone have a better idea that worked?
