When making graham cracker piecrust, bust up the crackers inside the plastic packet as small as you can by crushing it before putting the packet contents in the blender to reduce it to crumbs. You can fit an entire packet in there where you couldn't before. Don't smack the packet to crush the crackers in it, as it may blow open.

Your cruise control can be a good way to save fuel. It keeps your speed at a very even rate, which is the most efficient way to keep moving. Using the cruise rocker switch to accelerate/decelerate is also very efficient. But nobody will tell you this, because driving using the cruise all the time is dangerous.

I kid you not - in Saudi Arabia those nutters would put their cars in cruise and just start digging around in the back seat, bumping off guard rails and other cars. complete nuts.

Someone asked me that question once, and I wasn't even fat! Sure I gained a few pounds, but my stomach wasn't even showing. Hmm...maybe cuz I started to wear loose clothing? Anyways, I was a bit miffed. :p

I suppose if someone's asking, it helps to actually be expecting.
