Can you help me?

How do you cook fresh green beans (not of the canned variety)? And what's a good recipe for them?
How do you get the skin off chicken?
How do you get ink out of clothing?

I had a disaster on my hands when Channing left a pen in one of his pockets! A friend said that putting rubbing alcohol on it might help. (Put a towel or something in between the garment!) If you've dried the clothes, it will probably not work. Good luck!

I have had luck using LOC (Amway product) in getting ink out. I am not sure where to get it as my mom gave it to me. But if you can find a rep or web site I think they still make it. I know I have steamed fresh green beans...not sure of any other way. You can steam them with other veggies and sprinkle Mrs. Dash on them or any other seasoning if you want. Good luck!

Wow, Marie, I have never heard anyone say the word Amway except for my parents, who have always been big fans. I'll ask Mom if she has some LOC still. But, as Dee warned, I have already dried the shirt that I didn't know Derek wrote on, so I'm not sure anything will work now.

The beans...hopefully you have a nice neighbor like I did that helps you or does it for you....

Buy skinless chicken............

Ink...I've heard hairspray works really well. I also use the OXY stain remover...In the detergent isle, blue bottle and have had very good luck w/ it getting stains out that have even been there for weeks!

Getting skin off chicken! I should have made you help with dinner prep more often! Use a paper towel (or towels). They help you grasp that skin.
