The problem is, if you make your keychain too heavy, it can damage the ignition in your car as your overloaded keyring dangles from it day after day.

Garlic is much more persistent than onion. If rubbing on stainless steel doesn't work, scrub briskly with table salt and water.

Ooooo. Thanks!

When we lived in Wichita, our house was near that creek. One of the nearby streets had been built as a rain gutter that fed right into it. Cars routinely washed away in big storms.

I'd love to have one of those for my Vespa.

My son's allergic to eggs, so I've had to figure out a lot of egg-free workarounds over the years. My daughter-in-law is a vegetarian. I look on Thanksgiving dinners as the ultimate test of my culinary creativity. :)
