Kitchen Cabinet Gunk Remover

1 part vegetable oil

2 parts baking soda

Mix together with a spoon until well blended. Apply with your fingers, a cloth, a sponge, or a toothbrush (for small nooks and crannies) and work the fine grains of the baking soda into the surface. Don't forget to work on the handles, too!!

How Fresh Are Your Eggs, Anyway?

To test the freshness of your refrigerated eggs, place each raw egg in a pot of water. If the egg floats, it's rotten. If it stands on its pointy end, it's 10 to 14 days old. If the egg tilts, it's about 3 or 4 days old. You want and egg to sink and lie on its side. That means it's fresh – any fresher, and a live chicken will be walking out of your kitchen.
