CLEANING

We all know that feeling when the oven door opens, and it's like a scene from a science experiment gone wrong. But fear not, . With a little love and some clever tricks, anyone can have their oven sparkling like new in no time!

MABEL’S WISDOM

Old-Timey Upholstery Stain Remover

Back when I was younger, we didn't have fancy stain removers, but we still kept our furniture looking spick and span. If you find an ugly stain on your upholstery, try this tried-and-true method. First, mix up a simple solution:

  • 1 cup of warm water

  • 1 tablespoon of white vinegar

  • 1 teaspoon of mild dish soap

Dab the mixture onto the stain with a clean cloth, gently working it in. Let it sit for a few minutes, then blot it dry with another cloth. You'll be amazed at how well this cheap and easy remedy works!

PLANTS & GARDEN

Ever wonder why that salsa verde has a zing that tomatoes can't deliver? We took a deep dive into the delightful world of tomatillos and discovered some surprising differences that might change the way we think about our favorite nightshade family.

FUN FACT

Lights, Camera, Action: The Birth of Movie Magic!

Picture this: It's 1895, and the Lumière brothers are about to change the world forever. These two French visionaries, Louis and Auguste, introduced the first-ever movie projector.

Their invention, the Cinématographe, was a camera, projector, and printer all in one. Talk about multitasking before it was cool!
