| RE: Washing Clothing With Bleach (Without Having Them Smell Like Bleach) |
|
Put clothes that have been bleached back through for a second wash and rinse cycle with no soap or additives to get as much bleach residue out as possible. Also, the next time you need to get a stain out of his clothes, try using hydrogen peroxide instead of bleach. I am very sensitive to bleach and have been using it for several years now as a bleach substitute. Make sure you test the peroxide on a small place that doesn't show before using it. It can sometimes fade black, blue and dark green. ... View related article. |

| RE: Getting Rid of Elephant Ears |
Sorry for upsetting you, but it has to be done twice a year for three years. or more to get them all. and you have to screen all the soil each time to ensure you don't miss any. The other thing you can do to speed up the process is cut all the green part away all the way to the ground as soon as any shoots are visible. This prevents any nutrients other than those already in the soil from going to the bulbs, which should force them into dormancy.
I was assuming, perhaps incorrectly, that you were trying to avoid using chemicals. ... View related article. |

Dig down at least two feet and sift all the dirt through a screen. Take all the bulbs you find and list them on Freecycle or donate them to a local youth service or church to use as a fundraiser, or to a child or adult day program. Do this twice a year, in spring and fall, for three years or until no more elephant ears pop up in the spring. That should finally rid you of them. ... View related article. |

Here are some common substitutions:

http://thegourmetonline.com/content/Common_Substitutions.htm
I have used sour cream, plain yogurt, applesauce and mayonnaise as substitutions for oil. Start with the same amount of the substitute and mix all your ingredients together. Add more a tablespoon at a time until the batter is the same consistency you get when you make it with all the correct ingredients. You may eventually find that you like the recipe better with the substitute than with the correct ingredient. ... View related article. |
