Ventilating the office: balancing COVID-19, climate change and energy bills

The best part is that if you realize your silver is looking a little sad, you (most likely) always have some toothpaste available to polish it up.

The Cayenne Pepper Trick.This one worked for me.

I mixed up 1 teaspoon of cayenne in 1/2 cup of water and put it in a spray bottle..I took one look at the light color of the flowers and the dark color of the solution and realized this wasn’t going to be the best idea.Maybe on house plants or dark colored flowers, but I didn’t want to dye my bright green mums orangey red.

I just took the sprayer out of the bottle and used the end of it to dab drops of the cayenne juice right into the inside of the flower, where it would be hidden, rather than sitting right on top.. Then I had spicy flowers!.I watched and waited for about 2 seconds.

It never takes long for the cats to come around when there’s something new and possibly tasty..

The kitten took one sniff and he knew he was not interested!.Really time-consuming.

I took a basic cabbage roll recipe, simplified it almost to the breaking point, and then threw it all in the crock pot.The result was “Sunday dinner at gramma’s house” flavour, with “busy week night dinner” effort.

That’s my kind of cookin!.The most complicated part is getting the cabbage leaves nice and soft to work with.
