Fruit flies are probably one of the most annoying pests that have infiltrated households around the world and it seems like every couple of months they find their way their back into our homes until we can find the source of their breeding grounds and eliminate the eggs from our living quarters. Fruit flies tend to lay their eggs on moist surfaces including overly ripened fruit or vegetables, empty bottles and cans, mops, soaked cleaning rags, trash bags, drains, and hard to reach garbage disposals. This time around instead of providing you with a particular product, we have a do it yourself solution for eliminating fruit flies.
The DIY fruit fly catcher consists of a jar dressed with a ventilated plastic wrap cover filled with apple cider vinegar and a small amount of dish soap. Fruit flies can't deny their curiosity and find themselves trapped inside of the container where they ultimately meet their maker. Try it out for yourself and get instant results.
Chefs made their way into celebrity land a while ago. But how many celebrities that weren’t trained as professional cooks are actually whizzes in the kitchen? Here are several that come to mind.
Actress Julia Roberts is confident about her cooking skills. “I’m quite a good cook,” she told E! News. “I’m like a closet home ec teacher…I can really cook anything.” Roberts has said she often cooks fish for herself and her kids. And speaking of her three children, “They think that I’m a good cook,” Roberts told People. “They actually told me that I should open a restaurant.” She also relishes cooking for the holidays, particularly shredded Brussel sprouts. Roberts hasn’t published a cookbook, but we did find recipes attributed to her for peach crisp and banana hemp muffins. Or you can make the same summer salad the actress supposedly eats.
Chrissy Teigen started off as a supermodel. Then her love of cooking filtered into her professional life too. At this point, she’s created recipes for a limited Blue Apron release and also just launched her own home and cooking line at Target named “Cravings,” after the two cookbooks she’s released. Teigen describes cooking as “a time of peace” for herself. So maybe peace out to her tuna melt sandwich or the fried chicken wings that are a favorite of her husband, John Legend.
Lady Gaga, whose real name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, comes from a cooking Italian family. Her father started his own restaurant in New York and also published a cookbook. And apparently, Lady Gaga has inherited the family’s cooking genes. Her Instagram account occasionally features photos of her culinary activities. Sure, sometimes it’s topless cooking. But other times it’s more poignant like in the post she shared about her bringing food to the family of her dear friend who passed away. Want to try a Gaga/Germanotta family favorite? Check out her recipe for whole wheat pasta with a sweet fennel sauce.
