#housewifeproblems: thrifting dirty




So it's no secret that I love a good thrifty find.
Sometimes you have to look past the perfect find and seek out the "potential find".

I spotted this blue pyrex bowl from across the flea market field.
When I picked it up to inspect it the boy freaked out.
"Mom, that's really gross and dirty, don't touch that!"
I was looking passed the mystery dried funk that was on the bowl 
and looking for chips and cracks.
Under all of this gross was a perfectly good bowl.
The Bowl actually.
This was the one that would complete my set.

So the bowl on the left is post wash hot water and soap. Still funky.

Here is the answer to this #housewifeproblem
My secret recipe for cleaning dirty pyrex.

1 tbsp baking soda
a few squirts of hydrogen peroxide.

Mix these two into a paste and then buff onto the pyrex using your fingers.
warning: it may sting a bit... you can totally use a sponge.
I just find it works better using my fingers.
Once the entire bowl has been scrubbed down, rinse with warm water.

I have used this technique to clean all sorts of items:
 pyrex, glass, hard plastics, metals, ceramics...even the kitchen sink.

housewife problems: tips and tricks


i love wine. don't really drink it much, but i do love it.  here is my problem.  i have followed in my great grandmothers foot steps in liking ice in my whites.  this lady had no shame....she would ask for a cup of ice at a restaurant to chill her glass of wine, and i am pretty sure that she used the fact that it would quickly become diluted as an excuse to drink more. haha.  the solution? frozen grapes.  keeps your wine cold with out watering it down, and in the end... who doesn't love alcohol soaked fruit?
