Recently, as I was half way out the door, car keys in hand and on the way to the home improvement center, I remembered that I might already have what I needed. Cooking spray! That’s it. I’d heard that it just might work. It did, and quite perfectly, too. No more squeaks and I saved a trip and purchase, too.

A can opener with a dull blade is pretty useless, but who likes to throw out kitchen tools? If we don’t, we have kitchen drawers that barely close. That’s why I love Marilyn’s tip. Now, all I have to do is find my can opener and see if it needs a rebirth.
