Stormy again today- had to shovel out, took me longer than I thought it would then took to a Dr. appt. He is unable to shovel. Visibility not so good so glad to get home again. Leftover chicken, mashed potatoes and corn for supper. Also made lime ade. I like cold drinks even in the winter as well as hot ones. Still working on gardening magazine stash. Will file articles I keep for future reference.
A different recipe for laundry soap that I like: 3 Tblsp borax, 3 Tblsp washing soda, 2 Tblsp original blue dawn dish soap, a tblsp oxyclean. Use one gallon jug. add two cups very hot water to dry ingredients to dissolve them, fill with water and add dawn dish soap last . Mix & label. I wrote down in my book that I use 1-2 cups per load but that seems like a lot so use your own judgment. Last time I made laudry soap I made the powder. I like either.
Tonight I will soak beans for soup tomorrow.
