Dear Heloise: With the holidays coming up, I plan to bake cookies for our smallish family gathering. How should I determine how many cookies to bring? — Jo in Kansas
Jo, you should plan on having between three to six cookies for each person, depending on the size of the cookie and if other desserts are offered. — Heloise
UNDER THE SINK
Dear Heloise: Recently I took a look at all of the cleaners I had accumulated under the sinks and in the utility room of my home. I’ve found there really are only five cleaners I use all the time, so I decided to organize these areas by asking myself:
* Do I use this product at all?
* Is it too old or ineffective to keep?
* Could this item be dangerous for my pets or children? If so, could it be stored more safely?
* Is the container still in good condition … no leaking?
This has really helped me sort through things I might have kept with the excuse “Maybe someday I’ll need it.” Now it’s organized and clean under my kitchen sink. — Jean in Illinois
DISHWASHER DILEMMA
Dear Heloise: My dishes had not been getting clean in my dishwasher for the past couple of months. I couldn’t figure out why, until my daughter looked at the spray arms. The holes were almost all plugged up. She started digging with a toothpick and then with tweezers and started pulling out little pieces of plastic from the holes in the sprayer arms. I had switched from boxed detergent to the plastic pods, and the pods had not completely dissolved. I think I’m going back to the boxed dishwasher detergent. I read your column every day in the Omaha World Herald. — Andrea S., via email
