Over time I learned a few things to help cope with life’s little aggravations.
And since I love you all, I plan to share some of my “aHa!” discoveries.
You may have your own secret tips for survival and I hope you will share those too.
And when we are done, we may have a Simple Solutions Online Encyclopedia!
PROBLEM: Freezer Tape Sticking to Itself
To label a leftover the old way was to peel open and tear off a strip of freezer tape, stick it down and mark the contents destined for long-term storage.
But when I came back to the roll for the next leftover, the tape would be stuck back down and impenetrable. That meant staring stupidly at a roll of tape that had no visible peel-off point. It meant looking and looking and blindly feeling along for the demarcation line and then finger-nail picking a resistant (sometimes shredding) ridgeline. There are and were a few choice words to express my ultimate frustration. But, finally – there came an answer.
Was it a fellow blogger who taught me this? I no longer remember. But it works!
SOLUTION: A Plastic Bag Closure Tag
I couldn’t believe it. The little tags that sometimes come to rewrap bread, etc. are a perfect solution and I have never had the problem again. Actually, I have reused the same little plastic closure tag now for months. It’s a good idea for duct tape storage too.
Here’s how.
I hope this tip is as new to you as it was to me. I absolutely love those little tags and every time I open and close the freezer tape roll, I have a happy feeling inside.
