Hints From Heloise: A pizza cutter can be a handy gift

Dear Heloise: As a shower gift before my wedding, a friend of mine gave me a pizza cutter. I smiled and said, “Thank you.” We eat pizza, so I knew it’d get some use. And it sure did! I cut brownies, cookies, noodles, play clay, and a couple of ribbons, and I even opened some boxes with it! What a useful gadget a pizza cutter happens to be. — Patsy L., in Fargo, North Dakota SEND A GREAT HINT TO: [email protected] NO MORE FOGGY MIRRORS Dear Heloise: I hated it when my bathroom mirror would fog up after each shower.
