Did you know this about a foil box?
I got this email today and was so surprised. I did not know it, and it’s true!
I’m being lazy tonight and posting the email verbatim, but it’s such a good tip, I don’t feel *so* bad. 
(By the way, got the napkins ironed last night and backed out the times for Christmas Day night dinner. I also got the big food shop for the holiday done this evening. Yeah!)
Anyway, here is the tip:
I had to go into the kitchen and check this out for myself. Whoever looks at the end of your aluminum foil box? You know when you try to pull some foil out and the roll comes out of the box. Then you have to put the roll back in the box and start over. The darn roll always comes out at the wrong time.
Well, I would like to share this with you. Yesterday I went to throw out an empty Reynolds foil box and for some reason I turned it and looked at the end of the box. And written on the end it said, Press here to lock end. Right there on the end of the box is a tab to lock the roll in place. How long has this little locking tab been there? I then looked at a generic brand of aluminum foil and it had one, too. I then looked at a box of Saran wrap and it had one too! I can’t count the number of times the Saran wrap roll has jumped out when I was trying to cover something up.
I’m sharing this with my friends. I hope I’m not the only person that didn’t know about this.

Ha!Ha!Ha!Ha! Too funny cuz’ I just heard this on “Ellen” last week on the way to pick up the kids from school!!!
She kinda said the same thing you did! LOL!
“Who Knew!??”
Though, I did forget to check my foil and saran. So, now? I have [HAVE] to go all the way into the kitchen just to look and see for myself.

admin, I need your email address? I think I had it a long time ago before the PC crashed. It’ll be easier to send you that recipe.
Or, I could blog it. Just wanted to save it for the book review as far as “public publish.”
It was really yummy! And, I’ve never made corn chowder before; oh, and easie peasie!

Yeah but I still let the Saran wrap bounce its way out of the box tonight … I’ll put flicking that doohickey on the to-do list.

LOL, who knew? I sent it along to almost *eveyone* I know…but I did fail to notice that the tabs are on BOTH ends! My sister-in-law pointed it out to me…after she went running to the kitchen to check it out.

I was smiling, too, on Dec. 25, when I opened a new box of foil and clicked the doo-hickey.
