CLIPD* tip: Coffee filters

What do you do with the leftover coffee filters now that you have a permanent one?
These tips were sent to me via another Deep South pal, former Ohioan:1. Cover bowls or dishes when cooking in the microwave. Coffee filters make excellent covers.
2. Clean windows and mirrors. Coffee filters are lint-free so they'll leave windows sparkling.
3. Protect China. Separate your good dishes by putting a coffee filter between each dish.
4. If you break the cork when opening a wine bottle, filter the wine through a coffee filter.
5. Protect a cast-iron skillet. After cleaning, mop up the extra moisture to avoid rusting.
6. Ball up a lint-free coffee filter & apply shoe polish to maintain leather shoes in this downturn.
7. Hold tacos. Coffee filters make convenient wrappers for messy foods.
8. Line a plant pot with a coffee filter to prevent the soil from going through the drainage holes.
9. Prevent a Popsicle from dripping on you. Poke one or two holes as needed in a coffee filter.
10. Sponge grease by putting filters on a platter before you place down fried bacon, fries, etc.
