Christmas Tree Light Dimmer
I have dimmer switches on just about every light in my house. I really love it. We were setting up some of our many Christmas trees around the house and I knew there had to be dimmer switches for Christmas lights that you could buy at any local mart.
To my surprise there were no such products readily available. I did later on find some online, but who wants to wait? When you can build one yourself cheap and easy!
I found a site that detailed exactly what I wanted to do. I followed their directions to the letter.
You need a basic dimmer switch, probably around $6, a short household extension cord $1.50, and an electrical box, these are about 45 cents. You will also need 2 wire nuts, I already had those, but will only cost you a few cents if you need to buy some.
Basically you want to spice the dimmer between one of the wires on your new extension cord and enclose the wiring inside the box.
Cajun Sunshine Hot Sauce
We were having tacos at our house one night. So I found this bottle of “hot sauce” in our kitchen a while back, do not know where we originally bought it. Put just a few drops on my taco at first, because I was not sure what to expect. Wow, really made that taco zing and it tasted great, was a nice spicy hot, not just a hot-hot, if you know what I mean.
