I found this great tip on one of Martha Stewart's blogs (6-14-2011 Today's Five Must Do's.)She has so much great information. If you go there, you can easily get turned around and fail to find you way back. I did.I found these helpful tips and really wanted to share them for others to try. They sound like winners.She has so many helpful tips(even if you're not a big fan of hers.)



WHAT TO SAVE:ORANGE PEELS
While orange peels aren't all that great for eating, they still come in great use around the house. Here are three simple ways to use leftover orange peel:

• Because of its high content of flammable oil, dried peel makes a great fire starter.
• Cats don't like the smell of orange peel, so you can place it around plants where you don't want cats digging.
• Use dried orange peel to remove musty smells by placing it in a cloth bag and storing it in closets and cupboards.
• Orange zest can be dried overnight and then stored in airtight bottles for future use.

I must go call Mom,now. She has a really bad cat problem in her community.
