As I didn't want to use bleach to clean because of its fumes, I used a mixture of the bicarbonate soda/baking soda method and using white vinegar.

The guide I used suggested the vinegar method has the downside of making you and the room smell like vinegar afterwards.

And while yes, I do indeed smell of nothing but vinegar now, I don't see how that's a downside 😅

I love vinegar. I can drink it straight from the bottle :patrick_sip:

And I bet you fancy chips now.

@pathfinder Yup, I smell pretty much like a chip shop and want to order some 😅

Do you ever have vinegar on bread?

jessica, 10 months ago

@aaron I've dipped bread into balsamic vinegar before, which was amazing and I highly recommend it, but not tried bread with other vinegar... I should try! :blobfox_science:

@jessica
Okay hear me out because this is going to sound stupid but... there have been times when I just didn't want to "make food" so would settle for slices of plain bread with malt vinegar on it for dinner :shiba_hide:

It's pretty good.

(See also: crisps and cheese in the microwave, buttered bread in the microwave etc.)

@aaron You sound like a food scientist experimenting with ideas to me!

Never had crisps in the microwave, but obviously had a crisp sandwich before... Maybe a salt and vinegar crisp sandwich in the microwave could be something magical? :panda_science:

I still can't decide looking back if it was laziness, depression or both lol.

I've never microwaved a crisp sandwich but yes I do think it's the sort of scientific endeavour that needs funding and testing post haste.

@nuz @jessica like white vinegar??? I could maybe see balsamic or apple cider vinegars but white vinegar???

nuz, 10 months ago

@puzzler @jessica any kind of vinegar!!!! white, balsamic, apple cider, malt, red wine, rice, etc - they're all so yummy! :bunny_drool:​

@jessica @nuz @puzzler I'm not sure about drinking vinegar straight, although I remember trying these Japanese vinegar+fruit juice drinks several years ago that were pretty good. My partner hated them. :bunny_evil:​

nuz, 10 months ago

@snowmanghost @jessica @puzzler ooooo i've never heard of those before but they sound amazing!!! :vaporeon_sip:​ (and my partner would totally hate them too :dracthyr_laugh:​)

snowmanghost, 10 months ago

@nuz @jessica @puzzler Yeah, I remember liking it a lot. I don't remember what they were called and I've never seen them again, even at the same store where I found them in the first place.

jessica, 10 months ago

@nuz @snowmanghost @puzzler Ooh, I want to try this too!!

@mitch I don't know what caused it. I'm in a temporary room and rolled the blinds up further than I usually do, and suddenly saw the top of the window coated in the stuff, checked the other window and saw the same :blobfox_shocked:

I don't think it was me as I keep the windows open as often as I can for ventilation, but regardless, I had to clean it, the last thing my health needs :blobfox_worried:
