Playing For You From Our Scented Cottage..

Think what a better world it would be if we all, the whole world, had cookies and milk about three o'clock every afternoon and then lay down on our blankets for a nap.

Test Your Soda...


Do you have an old box of baking soda in the pantry and you’re not sure whether or not it’s still fresh? The claim is that the shelf life for this product is 35 months, but if you want to make sure yours is still going to be effective in your baking try this:

Fill a small cup half full with vinegar and drop a teaspoon of baking soda in it. If it starts fizzing, the baking soda is active.

If you find your baking soda is not as effective as it once was, recycle it and use it in your refrigerator, freezer to absorb odors, or to clean your counters, floors or laundry.
