Baking soda is my new best friend.

After a tragic red wine incursion on my husband’s part on the kitchen counter, I thought for sure the white laminate was done for.  Alas, baking soda is my new savior.  I don’t think I’ve ever before accessed its truly miraculous cleansing powers.  Nor have I so closely examined my kitchen counter, though we’ve lived here for a year!  Or maybe it’s just never been clean enough for me to notice the subtle pattern in it 😉

Red wine disaster averted (for the time being – don’t ask 😕 ), we enjoyed a homemade ‘gravy’ from homegrown tomatoes (thanks to my husband’s coworker) and a loaf of delicious peasant bread from a local farm.  Good stuff.

Red wine, meet baking soda. Baking soda, red wine.

Am I the only one who sees the flying nun looking back at her!?
