Pack it tightly so it can keep hold of its shape, then push it out of the other side. There you go, one full snow brick! Use these to make igloos or snowball fighting forts. Just be ready for the wreckage come springtime.

The More You Know

  • Carrots take away the acidity in tomato sauce by adding subtle sweetness. If you find your sauce has gotten too acidic, peel a whole carrot, simmer it with the sauce and remove before serving.
  • Have a little paint left in that can, but not enough to warrant keeping that whole huge container around? Just pour it into a washed and dried baby food jar and keep it tightly sealed for touch-ups.
  • Prevent your bathroom mirror from fogging up after a hot shower with car wax. Apply a small amount of car wax to the mirror, let it dry, then buff with a soft, dry cloth.
  • After you've given your stovetop a thorough cleaning, apply a thin layer of car wax and then buff it off with a clean towel.
