Use nine: Try softening brushes that are hardened with old, dried-in paint by boiling them in vinegar and let them stand for one hour. Then heat the vinegar and brushes come to a gentle boil. Simmer for 20 minutes. Rinse well, working the softened paint out of the bristles. For extremely heavy paint encrustations, you may need to repeat the process...or head to the hardware store.

Use ten: A little vinegar and salt added to the water you wash leafy green vegetables will float out bugs and kill germs.

Use eleven: Soak or simmer stuck-on food in 2 cups of water and 1/2 cup of vinegar. The food will soften and lift off in a few minutes.

Use twelve: Clean and freshen the garbage disposal by running a tray of ice cubes, with 1/2 cup of vinegar poured over them, through it once a week.

Use thirteen: In a pinch, you can use equal parts of lemon juice and vinegar to clean brass and copper. On difficult areas add a little salt to the mix for some abrasive action.

134. A Camel Dairy, Really?

I couldn't stand it.  The suspense was killing me and again I'm so glad for the internet!  Camel dairy in the Google search box and here you have it!  The one and only camel dairy in the good ol' U. S. of A. We could say "Only in America!"  But I'm not sure that would be true.

I know in Cairo,Egypt they have a huge camel market once a week, but a dairy??  It turns out (if I had given it some real thought) we should have known that Bedouins survive only on camel milk during long camel drives across the desert.  We were fortunate enough to see a caravan on the last leg of it's journey to the market while we were on our way to Abu Simbel.  It was one of those incredible life experiences.

Camel milk can't be sold in America just yet, maybe next year, but camel milk soap is available.  They have two new babies at the dairy, both boys, one is white the other chocolate.  I'm a sucker for babies and these are just to precious not to share.



BENEFITS OF CAMELS MILK:
  1. Camel's milk is the closest milk to human mother's milk.  Our bodies not only tolorate it well, our bodies thrive on it.
  2. Camel's milk has triple the amount of vitamin C found in cows milk.
  3. Camel's milk has TEN TIMES the amount of antibacterial and antiviral properties found in cow's milk.

 I've always been a fan of crate labels and while this is an advertisement for their Pomegranate Day event it is non-the-less a
fabulous design!  They are located in Ramona, CA which in out
of San Diego.

They have been featured on Mike Rowe's "Dirtiest Jobs" twice and
also on Huel Howser's "California Gold."  Maybe we can catch a
re-run.
