more b.s.

i know i have extolled the virtues of baking soda before
and it is a staple in both cleaning supplies and cooking in our home

why does this odd obsession with b.s. continue?
well, the stuff is amazingly useful
as is white vinegar
they are sort of each other's yin and yang - cooking and cleaning, powder and liquid

and now
even MORE uses for baking soda
(a link with 61 uses, some of which i have discovered on my own, and some very new to me)

another laundry option

i make a liquid laundry soap and this one
both work well in my high efficiency washer

this one is the recipe with the least ingredients
(and i use about 2tbsp per load)

1 cup borax
1 cup washing soda
1 grated bar of soap

house for free

it is the ultimate recycling project
a homeowner in ottawa - close to the downtown core is giving away the house she lives in
it doesn't come with land or location
you'll have to move it yourself
which will run about 40k
you have to live within 100km and prove you have land to put it on
but other than that, the house could be yours!
