HINTS FROM HELOISE: On-the-go snacks
Dear Readers: Preparing a simple “on-the-go snack” or quick munchies bag is perfect when you may be out all day and you don’t want to spend extra money at a fast-food place. Use a plastic grocery bag, or to make it nice for a visiting guest, use a gift bag with handles. Put in a bottle of water or other drink, maybe a health-food bar, orange or apple, a small bag of grapes, etc. Here are a few hints for when this “food on the go” bag is a fit:
1) Make some for visitors who are going to be out most of the day sightseeing
2) When taking a long trip in a vehicle and you want to cover a lot of miles before stopping, as well as save a LOT of money!
3) Take to the beach or lake to hold you over until it’s time to eat the next meal.
Include some napkins and towelettes. — Heloise
ENERGY/SAFETY
TRAVEL HINT
Dear Readers: If you are going on a trip or going to be away from your home for a length of time, here is a safety hint: Unplug anything that doesn’t need to be plugged in while away. Unplug kitchen appliances, such as a coffee maker, toaster or toaster oven, plus hair and grooming appliances, etc. — any item that could heat up. This will save a little energy, but it’s really a safety hint to prevent an unexpected fire.
