Uses For Distilled Vinegar


If you have ever had a delicacy called 'chow chow', then you already know the spicy tartness distilled vinegar adds to food. Most people love distilled vinegar; and aside from adding a wonderfully unique taste to foods, there are many other ways to use it. In fact, it is hard to believe distilled vinegar is made from a process of fermenting distilled alcohol. Perhaps the alcohol accounts for the medicinal uses for distilled vinegar that many grandparents brag about. Nevertheless, it's good to know the different uses for distilled vinegar.

Of course, all the household uses for vinegar aren't listed in this post. I simply realized the money I could save on medical visits for minor things by knowing the medicinal value of basic staples in my kitchen cabinet.

How many of your cleaning agents are environmentally friendly, non-toxic, and oh, edible? On that subject, how many other food products do you use to descale a coffee pot? In case you hadn't noticed, distilled vinegar is amazing.

Your Child's Room


Growing children keep messy rooms. Your child's room is probably no different.

Both boys and girls are equally messy, but (when they reach a certain age) boys are--by far--the "smelliest". Testosterone and sports are a lethal mix, in terms of "aroma".

Keeping your kids' rooms neat is more than a notion. That's why we (mothers) welcome hints and suggestions that will help us inspire our kids to "love" keeping their space clean.
