January 2017 hints are as follows:
- To measure honey or other sticky syrups, oil the measuring cup with cooking oil and rinse under hot water first
- To hasten softening butter, grate it or heat a small pan and place it upside down over the butter dish for a minute
- Apply some hair spray on your finger and smear it to the end of the thread, this stiffens the thread and will be easy to thread it into a needle
