2000 grit wet emery cloth then rotten stone

Or car wax. Latter won’t be perfect.

You can. Take a dirty dish, wipe it clean with paper towels, then set it in direct sun for 20 minutes.

You can investigate how well this works by first creating a bunch of culture dishes. Jar lids set on a cookie sheet work ok, cover the sheet with cling wrap. Fill the lids with jello made according to directions, but add a half teaspoon of water soluble garden fertilizer to the batch of jello. Miracle gro is great.

Boil your lids before filling them. Bleach the cookie sheet.

Divide your lids into 5 groups:

Group 1: Using a clean Q-tip, draw a line on a culture plate. If doing multiple plates, use a fresh end each time.

Group 2: This time use dishes from the dishwasher. Rub the q-tip on the freshly washed dish then on the culture plate.

Group 3: Like group 2,but dishes from the cupboard.

Group 4: Dishes that you ahve "sun washed"

Group 5: Your kitchen floor. 'cause, why not?"

​

Put the cling wrap over the tray and set it somewhere warm Top of the fridge is out of the way.

Yes. Not all the iron is reabsorbed. One of the marks of a bleeding ulcer, or injured gut is that your crap turns black from the extra blood. Indeed you can bleed to death from a stomach ulcer if it perforates into a vein.

But even if the leak is slow: The average blood cell lives about 6 weeks. Then it's broken down, the iron salvaged and rerouted to make more blood. So if you are bleeding at a rate faster than 1/6 of your blood per week, or aobut 2.5% per day, your body will fall behind.

It's never that easy. If the change is slow, your body can ramp up blood cell production some. So you might be able to keep up with 3% per day. But not likely 5%

Lesson: Keep a pad with you even if you go commando.

And so you opt for a plain pine box.

Rocker.?

A: Lots of them go to work. Frozen chili. Use once and chuck.

B: If I reheat in microwave, the lids tend to warp, plus any grease locally overheats and scars the plastic. And any curry or tomato stains the plastic.

C: Cottage cheese is forever. We can store only so many of the critters.

I cheat: Yogurt (750 ml) and cottage cheese (500 ml) I' don't attempt to re-use them more than once or twice.

Bread bags.

Ziplock bags for meat. Don't figure I can sterilize these, so they are used once and discard.
