rest on the spools. They not only do the job but they look pretty good too. Mrs. Jack Thompson, Miami, Fla. That is a great idea! I bet yon can paint them to match the decor in the kitchen. Thanks for p—ing on your hint. Heloise FREEZE FOOD Dear Heloise: If you freeze food in plastic bags, it’s best to remove as much air as possible. Place a straw inside the bag and push as much air out as you can, and than hold the bag closed around the straw. Suck out all the remaining air,

Do you have any idea of what I can do to

remove the odors? Mrs. J. Halsey, Venice, Fla. The reason the spoons absorbed odors is that yon haven’t seasoned them. They should be seasoned the name way wooden salad bowls are: Scrub them, then place in hot water for a minute or so. Towel dry and place in the son to dry thoroughly. Heat mineral oil on medium setting, and dip the spoons in the hot oil. Let them cool, then wipe dry. Heloise STRAINER Dear Heloise: I found a great strainer that doesn’t take up much

MINI CUTTING BOARD Dear Heloise: I eryoyyour hints and now I have one to pass on that I learned from my mother. Don’t throw away the piece of plastic that sliced bacon is on. It is heavy and is wonderful for cutting things on such as onions, veggies and many other things. It keeps cutting boards from taking on odors. Joanne Myrvik, Minneota Minn.
