What is one helpful tip or piece of advice you would like to share with the collective?

Please provide a tip or some helpful advice that you feel would be helpful for others to know, on any topic.

My tip is don’t start any big household projects or home improvement projects right before you are planning to have a party.

One more tip (bonus tip if you will) is when making rice, the way to prevent the rice from sticking in the pot is to put just a little bit of oil in the bottom of the pot – about ½ teaspoon. Then, after the rice is cooked, none of it will stick to the bottom of the pot.
