Comments (67)From what you're describing, I suspect the hard water is to blame. Phosphates used to work really well, but wreaked havoc on the environment. We already have enough problems with run off into the Pacific; don't need to add even more fertilizer. These days, dishwashing detergents rely on enzymes to break down food residue, and rely on small amounts of surfactants (i.e. soap) to rinse things off. That can work even better than the old type of detergent. But it generally isn't as effective the harder the water is. You probably notice that when showing too. You need more soap to wash, and then when you rinse the soap doesn't really want to come off. I live in a part of the Bay Area that is fortunate enough to get Hetch Hetchy water. So, our water is exceptionally soft. That would explain the different experiences. If you don't want to move a few miles North, your best bet is getting a water softener. Alternatively, keep experimenting with different detergents. Maybe you'll find one that works better in your situation. And definitely make sure to use rinse aid. With hard water you have to. It's the same problem as with showering. The water can't wash off everything. And in the case of a dishwasher, this is water that still has some food particles. So, you'll see residue when things dry...See MoreA Waldorf Hysteria/Surprise dinner is:::
Comments (8)Hi, my sister did one of these for Halloween one year. We all sat in the dinning room and she and her MIL were the waitresses. They had pads, and each guest ordered 3 items at a time. They had each item on the menu numbered so we ordered by number and they had the correspoding items lined up in the kitchen (out of our sight) labeled with postit notes by number. Here is her menu - I saved it because it was so fun I thought I would copy it some day - I hope it gets your creative juices flowing... Halloween Mystery Menu 1. scaredy cat (chicken) 2. monster mash (mashed potatoes) 3. slimy works (spaghetti) 4. graveyard grass (salad) 5. vampire stake (toothpick) 6. tiny tombstones (corn) 7. frankenstein's brains (apple pie) 8. bucket of blood (V8) 9. table tines (fork) grainy grenades (rolls) crystal compound (water) bovine extract (milk) witch's warts (peas) guano cake (brownies) jiggly junk (jello salad) black magic (coffee) cold as death (ice cream) spill remover (napkin) gravedigger's shovel (spoon)...See MoreWhat's with wooden spoons?
Comments (39)Love the bamboo spoons. They are a very hard wood and last for years and years. I hand wash all my wooden spoons, maple, olive wood(which is so beautiful) and my old cheapies. The makers of the coated and baked in non-stick pots and pans have been recommending wood or silicone utensils for years. Metal scratches and dings the surfaces of the pans and mars the finish (Also don't use Pam spray on the pans either. Some chemical in the spray will make the non-stick properties break down and wreck the pan). NancyLouise...See More
