Hello people, time for another episode! This week it's all about keeping your rubber gloves from getting holey, (just put cotton balls in the finger tips), and making sure your butter doesn't burn (add a drop of olive oil to the pan). Be sure and watch! 

On my NPR podcast this week we're finishing up with framing by covering such esoteric subjects as unusual framing requests, shadow boxes and off beat framing materials. Have a listen... 

Next week we'll resume featuring longer episodes, though I'm still on hiatus so you won't see new intro and wrap up segments, I'm afraid. You'll have to wait until fall for that. 

Until next time!

Hello people, this week on the show I'm talking about medicine chests. I sunk mine into a spot to one side of the sink because of a pesky drainage pipe and instead of facing it with a mirror I covered it with a painting. Clever, no? Why not try it yourself. Even if you have the standard medicine cabinet over your sink a second one can be a big boon for storage! 

Now that summer is here we're much more prone to little skin irritations. I've found that a small dose of vitamin A helps clear up the itches of summer. Be sure not to take too take more than directed, however, too much over too long a period can cause problems with your liver. Consult your physician before beginning any vitamin regimen. 

This week on my NPR podcast I'm discussing the ins and outs of framing with Maureen Coleman who's been in the business for years. She owns ABC Custom Framing. Be sure and have a listen. I know you'll find it useful! 

I want to let you all know about an upcoming event. My mother, Mary Jane Wells is doing her one woman show, Transit in the Midtown International Theater Festival here in New York in late July and August. You can find out all about it at the show's website. If you're in town be sure and come to see it!

Hello people, Brini here with some cheesy ideas for you. This week the show's all about smoothing your interactions with the wine of foods - cheese! Be sure and watch! 

Warm knives will go through cheese much more easily than cold ones will. 

Keep your cheese grater fresh and clean by spraying it with cooking spray before grating your cheese on it, and when it comes time to wash it use a tooth brush to clean out all those little holes! 

On my NPR podcast this week I'm discussing weather predictors - those old saws such as "red sky in the morning, sailor take warning, red sky at night sailor's delight" have a grain of truth to them. Listen and find out why!

Hello people, Brini here with another show. This week I have tips for keeping those thighs trim and unsticking those stuck zippers. 

If you've got some downtime in a doctor's waiting room, use the time to your thigh's benefit - slip your purse over your ankle and lift, lift, lift to firmness. With all that we carry these days you may have trouble doing more than 6 to 8 reps to begin with, but keep it up ladies, your physique will thank you! 

Stuck zippers can be such a bore. They can be easily remedied, however with a few passes of pencil lead. The graphite lubricates them beautifully. Voila! 

This week on my NPR podcast I have some Father's Day ideas to brighten dad's special day. Be sure and have a listen!

Hello people! Brini here with some more ideas for a commodious kitchen. This week I have tips for avoiding torn slices of bread (butter the end of the loaf before slicing) and keeping your watch dry while doing the dishes (hang it on a cup hook placed conveniently by the sink). The show's a little short this week. I apologize. I've been a little busy lately. 

This week on my NPR podcast I'm extolling the virtues of the avocado and giving you my recipe for guacamole. You'll find it below. 

You'll need:

1 ripe avocado

2 sprigs of cilantro  

The juice of a lime

1 Tbs. chopped fresh onion 

Salt, Pepper and Tabasco to taste 

Cut up the avocado, discard the pit and peel and mash the sections in a bowl with a fork.  Add the remaining ingredients and serve. I like to serve it with plantain chips for an unexpected taste sensation. 

That's all for this week!
