We had some weather, but we escaped the worst. Sending all good thoughts out to those who are still without power or suffering from a lot of damage. I still didn't go out into the garden. I did, however, start sorting out the walk in cupboard. I may be some time. At the moment the kitchen, the dining room and the cupboard look pillaged! There is stuff in heaps everywhere. I am sort of more or less mainly kind of confident that it will look better soon.
I found some gallon containers of white vinegar. The container said that they were past their sell by date, but I'm not sure. I would only be using it as fabric softener or for cleaning. I'll have to have a think about it. Suggestions are welcome. There is a medieval manuscript that suggests that to test if vinegar is good, you need to see if it makes stone (presumable limetstone) bubble. I don't think that I've ever had vinegar that strong in the house, and I am not sure that I want it either.
I'm worried about the news of the Omicron variant. It sounds like a science fiction or horror film. Unfortunately it's real life. I suspect that things will become a lot more closed again.
Sending hugs and good health to all.
Pour a bit of vinegar into a saucer with some baking soda...bicarb? It should fizz and bubble. I don't believe it goes bad, so I would use it for cleaning, etc.
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better soon.

I am feeling a bit hesitant especially as so many people here still seem to think it's all a made up thing. I still wear my mask in shops. I don't care what people think of me. I know how horrible Covid is and I don't want it nor do I want to be at risk of spreading it to someone else.
ReplyDeleteI am going to try and get my husband and I in for our booster jabs. Our state numbers are so high now that they have opened it up to be available to anyone.
In my opinion, a sell by date for vinegar is nonsense, especially if you're using it only for cleaning and laundry. As long as it's unopened, you could probably use it for food-related purposes also.

The vinegar should be fine for cleaning I would think.
ReplyDeleteNo worries about the vinegar! It will still be good.
