Storage tip!
Nov. 21st, 2009 11:54 amI don't remember where I read or heard this but it works:
If you have problems with tomato products staining your storage bowls and such. The way to stop that from happening is to spray a little non stick cooking spray into the bowl before you add the tomato based product. Viola! No more stains :)
If you don't want to do it that way, I have had luck with the spray vinegar, and soaking them in a sinkful of soapy bleach water works. I have also used laundry stain removers:)
The problem with tomato products is that they're acidic, this is why it's recommended that you don't cook tomato based products in aluminum pots and pans, so the stains are harder to remove. Preventing them is always easier than removing the stains once they're set.
I've used the bleach water soak, followed by a baking soda and water soak to remove odors from containers also. Lemon juice works well too, then I usually set the container outside in the sun for half a day. Gets rid of odors very well.
The sun works wonders on stained white bed linens. If you just can't get that stain out: I usually bleach whites. But if there's a stain that won't come out no matter what. I'll spray a little vinegar or lemon juice on the stain and hang the piece of linen on a clothesline in the sun for a couple of days. Then rewash. That usually takes care of the stains. A bad stain might take a longer exposure, and make sure that your item is in a place that gets sun all day or most of the day. And it takes longer exposure in the winter than in the summer. :)

Chevron and Cultural Genocide in Ecuador

The Chevron Board of Directors need to be brought up on manslaughter charges, and murder charges for every single person that died because of drinking this water. Then while they're incarcerated they need to be made to drink their own toxic soup. How dare these assholes do this crap. They brag about their profits and live the high life here in the US, and they probably drink very expensive bottled water, while their housekeeper does the laundry with filtered water. While in the meantime they're pumping poison into precious fresh water resources that people depend on daily. it's a CRIME, and they should be held accountable. This really pisses me off.
