Gene-ius

Thank goodness I come from Mom's gene pool. She's always coming up with resourceful ideas like:

1. The evening before work, fill the drinking bottle half full with water, and lay it on a tilt in the freezer overnight. The next morning, fill the rest of the bottle with water. The day-long ice cube will turn into water steadily throughout the day just as you need it.

2. Got a cabinet so close to the wall that the plates come out cold in the winter, sapping the joy out of hot food? Lay them on top of the toaster and make some phantom toast, just long enough to take the freeze off.

3. Why not eat dry Cheerios with a toothpick for a snack? Healthy, and impossible to eat too fast.

Anyone else got nuggets of inventive practical wisdom like this?
