Sue has been one of my best friends since we first met -- maybe we were 13 years old? So -- yes, people, we've been FRIENDS FOR OVER 50 years. Ugh. How is that even possible??
 |
| In her She-Shed. Remember the great work I did on her below-the-counter curtain? |
 |
| Once or twice a year -- we get together for a birthday DAY. |
 |
| And we shop. |
 |
| Sometimes, Sue joins the TMBC -- this was her giving a tour of her remodeled farmhouse. |
 |
| She is, to be sure, the finest homemaker I know...she uses doilies -- and STARCHES her curtains. |
So, this year, for Sue's birthday -- OF COURSE I'm gonna give her a Spooner. As a special treat, I'm also giving her a set of antique silver-plated soup spoons.
 |
| But the REAL gift is that I'm gonna show her how to easily remove the tarnish. Remember this method? |
 |
| You line the pan with aluminum foil, then pour boiling water on top...and sprinkle with baking soda... |
 |
| The baking soda gets all fizzy -- and there's a distinct smell from the chemical reaction of the old tarnish, and the aluminum foil... |
I thought Sue would be delighted to learn this new-"simplified-Pinterest-method of get-the-tarnish-off-silver-cleaning...but, as we were waiting for the water to boil, Sue said, "if I was using my old fashioned silver polish, I'd have been half done by now..."
 |
| She will get a lot of use out of her new soup spoons this winter... |
