    Vintage Mechanics Hand Soap recipe

    This recipe has hung on the one beams in the basement of my house..I’m guess over 80 years..based on my knowledge of the history. Over the years, I’ve watched the paper slowly deteriorate. I’ve thought about cutting the recipe in half and trying it out. Thought I’d share it here.

    ORANGE CAKE RECIPE

    Pie crust I seem to do well with Eddie and have used lard too...very flaky. I’ve read that lard has zero tans fat and if ur able to get leaf lard that has not been hydrogenated..even better. It’s cakes that I don’t do well with. I don’t have ur talent! I’ve had some success, but had to throw...

    "Improved" Tide with Bleach alternative powder

    So I bought this new Tide plus and have used almost half the box. And frankly on a load of whites with a hot wash..I don’t see much of difference between this and regular powdered Tide..despite the 50% more bleach? Scent seems to be the same as reg Tide too. Not sweet or flowery, just a slight...

    OxiClean and Their Products - Do They Work??

    The White Revive At a glacé doesn’t contain any per Carbonate (oxygens bleach) But dose contain sodium per borate? Odd since sodium per borate requires heat..IIRC? MSDS shows 3 surfactants..so expect some foaming. Some enzymes, and fragrance. Manufacturer suggests that fabric be soaked for 6...

    "Improved" Tide with Bleach alternative powder

    Dear I’m so glad this caught your attention as I figured you’d be one that would get to the bottom of it. My interpretation is..plain old Tide ain’t so bad. Plus the Tide original dose not have a horrid scent. Maybe Angus can post a side pic showing ingredients of the new Tide version. So...

    Replacing timer on direct drive Whirlpool washer

    I would say yes to that question You can wait and see. If it’s the timer, you know soon enough. While I’ve never done myself ..it may be possible to take timer apart and clean contacts. It’s why I think if you decide to swap out timer..don't throw out old one. They ain’t makin more of them.
