Today I brainstormed & written about Zero-Waste stuff to figure out & Dad & Mom told me about their youth, how people did stuff then…

eg. washing pots with sand (Grandma ran outside & dipped the wet cloth into some sand round the corner! LOL) or certain ashes before fast (the other Grandma did this – no grease was allowed to even be on the pots during fast! LOL)

This is fun!

Amy said she had washed her sink with vinegar before, but now uses bought cleaners. because she has no vinegar OoO
I told her I’ll give her some if she wants. We have plenty.

I must inquire in a mill or two how much ‘ordinary bran’ costs – it used to be real cheap (as a by-product) & can absorb grease well. Hopefully organic. (In some healths stores it can be expensive, but let’s just see what the mills have to say.)

Dad said the guys form municipal water cleaning devices said to Aunt to pour more cleaners into the sink to break down the fat, but I wonder if vinegar or something like that couldn’t do that too? And if the bran absorbs the grease & is fed to pigs or put on composte, wouldn’t this make those guys happy?
