A Tiny Tip! Wine Corks in the Kitchen!
What to do with those wine corks from the night before? I've used the same two wine corks every day for many months. I don't like a drippy spoon on my counter, and I sure don't like to trap the leftover water droplets inside the coffee maker each day. I like it to air out, … [Read More...]
