Sunday Snippets

Tidbits of information I picked up this week:

• To remove marker stains from walls, use rubbing alcohol
•  Having friends prolongs your life an average of 3.7 yrs, lowers your blood pressure, keeps your brain active, and can keep you fitter!  Make time for your friends  - and do you both some good :-) (Whole Living, Sept. 2010)
• Homemade squash risotto ROCKS! DH made it last night for the first time and we LOVED it. I think it would be perfect on a cold winter's night - it really warms you up! Here is the recipe he used - it makes at least enough for 2 meals.
• Want to get in the Christmas Spirit? House to Home on Commonwealth Ave, Mt. Pearl, has a HUGE shipment of Christmas goodies out on display. In fact, if you haven't discovered this little jewel, it is about time you made a visit. Beautiful stuff! The west end/Mt. Pearl area is long overdue for a store like this!
