Household Trivials...

Went grocery shopping with [livejournal.com profile] redlily- she's officially good company for grocery shopping. And now I have food. And it's put away. But we now have frighteningly large quantities of onions- Amy got onions too, and didn't put them away, so I didn't know. But I once again have the sorts of foods that I have to have to make it feel like a household. Maybe it's a genetic thing, but no home feels legitimate without onions and potatoes available for use.

Have been generally unproductive today- but I did spend 2 and a half hours on the phone with Mom. Really remarkable- that just doesn't Happen with me. And there's coleslaw to show for it (chopping all that cabbage, etc is really dull without someone to talk to), and I *think* I've removed the rest of that splinter from my heel. It's feeling much better after lots of soaking in very hot water.

Also, applied baking soda and vinegar to the sink drain. I hope it helped. Still need to clean the bathroom though.

I was with Amy when she went shopping, so I saw how many she bought. Any more on top of that would be… a ton of onions, I guess. Make onion soup? Or eat lots of stir-fry?

Sink Drain Declogging

This one always works for me:

* Mix together 1/2 cup of baking soda and 1/2 cup of salt and pour into the drain

Follow this by about a quart of boiling water.

It's VERY rare that this hasn't worked. Sometimes you need to do it two times though.

Cheers!
