Damp off and baking soda
Comments (4)I linked another ongoing discussion on using sodium bicarb and potassium bicarb below for your info. I have tried both baking soda and hydrogen peroxide and have had limited success with both - they work by changing the pH of the soil surface so that the fungus cannot grow as well. I agree that trying to prevent it is best but not by microwaving your soil. That's a lot of work, only works for small amounts of mix for starting a few seeds, doesn't eliminate all the airborne fungi that can easily infect your soil, and is quite smelly and potentially hazardous. And if you are using a sterile, soil-less seed starting mix as recommended, it also isn't necessary. It's better to increase the air circulation abound the plants with a small fan, reduce the humidity in the growing area, and avoid over-watering. Fungi exist all around us, nothing we can do about that, but we can control the environment of our plants and so prevent the fungi from growing. Good luck with your plants. ;) Dave Here is a link that might be useful: Bicarb as an antifungal......See MoreAdolph's meat tenderizer?
Comments (11)Yes, I think the papain in meat tenderizer breaks down the proteins in bee venom/stings. I know it helps, as does a paste made of baking soda. When we owned the bar, we used to buy a liquid meat tenderizer and used that on the steak, and it made them very tender.I thought it was actually "mushy", customers loved it. Because I'm so strange about texture, I don't use meat tenderizers, I do think it changes the texture (otherwise, how would it be more tender?). Dad loved the stuff, though, and I attributed that to the fact that I still have all my teeth and Dad had dentures which occasionally made his mouth sore. I do have a handy little gadget that has a bunch of metal spikes that is used for tenderizing meat, but it changes the texture too. I don't necessarily find the changed texture to be offensive, but it's more like cubed steak. As usual, to each his own. I don't think you'll know if it's offensive unless you try it. If you don't like it, take it from the kitchen and put it in the bathroom for bug bites and bee stings. Annie...See MoreWashing dishes with baking soda
Comments (33)A few years back, I was at work putting a name brand dishwashing liquid into the dishwasher and some got on my (new!) pants. Immediately my tan pants bleached white. I was horrified to think that we were using a name brand detergent at home and eating off of dishes with this much bleach (or whatever discolored my pants). I looked into making something more natural and tried the borax mix. But this made my glasses permanently cloudy. I looked on EWG to find the greenest brand for the best price. Turns out, Target's Up & Up got a B rating just like a lot of the green brands. I've been using that since. But now that I look today, it's getting a C rating. Disappointing. Might have to go back to the drawing board......See MoreRECIPE: Mediterranean MeatLoaf
Comments (11)mj..I'm going to try your recipe tomorrow night, but seeing it inspired me to dig through my recipe binders and offer a similar recipe with some different flavors: Meat Mixture: 1 pound ground turkey breast 1/4 cup milk 1 cup quick oats or dried breadcrumbs (Italian is fine) 1 cup loosely packed fresh parsley, chopped fine 1 med. onion, diced fine & sauteed in 1-2 tsp veg oil 1 tsp salt pepper to taste 1 tsp ground cumin 2 tsp dried mint 3 TBSP bottled salsa hot pepper sauce to taste (optional) Filling: 1 10-oz box frozen spinach, thawed & drained 1 egg 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled, about 4 oz Topping: 1/3 cup ketchup 1 tsp cinnamon 3 TBSP parmesan cheese 1. Gently mix all meat mixture ingredients together. Put 2/3 of the mix into a lightly piled/sprayed meatloaf pan. Make a shallow well down the center. 2. Spread spinach filling down the center of the well. Cover with the rest of the meat mix, pat it all around to cover. 3. Spread topping over the top. Bake at 375 for ~1 hour, 10 minutes. Great the next day in sandwiches....See Morewednesday morning
