Parsley, Peas and Vinegar

Last Friday night was lamb roast at my mums. To say thanks we bought round a pot of parsley and some home grown pea pods – wow my life has really changed over the last year. Mum mentioned that she had been telling one of her friends about our use of white vinegar spray and her friend wanted to know what quantities to use. I smiled because I pretty much use trial and error with mine and don’t really get people who don’t just do the same but I went and looked up my guru book that I wrote about a few weeks ago – Reader’s Digest “Extraordinary uses for ordinary things” (2007). Their ‘recipe’ is 2 parts water, 1 part white vinegar and a few drops of washing up liquid. This is pretty much the quantities I use as well although I just throw it all in from sight. Our newest white vinegar use is in the rinse cycle of the dishwasher – leaves our glasses absolutely sparkling. Not sure what it will do long term to the dishwasher – will be able to tell you in a few years time!
