If you're inclined, tell the world what YOUR Hero Product is - could be anything - kitchen, hair care, drain cleaner..... but it's got to be something that you have welcomed to your home like a long-lost lottery winner :-)
You can bung it in the comments here, or, if you are feeling particularly evengelical - make your own Hero Product blog post :-)
BTW - did you get a card yesterday? I did. But I'd told Tartarus that we shouldn't bother this year. He has spent 12 hours going through his luggage aboard his ship looking for a carefully-hidden card That Does Not Exist.
*tough, unapologetic face*
I didn't buy him a card this year. In fact, after the Isle of Man Fiasco of last Thursday, he's lucky to have escaped the country with his life. But more of that on Monday :-D
Have a great weekend ;-D
My hero product is babywipes; I had *no* idea they could clean so much ...
ReplyDeleteshare - what do they clean that has surprised you?
DeleteAX
baby wipes will remove emergency stains from clothes!
ReplyDeleteas for garlic, i'm polish and would get immediately excommunicated if i didn't use fresh garlic. FACT.
ginger - buy root, wash well, dry very well and stick in a ziploc bag in the freezer. as needed, remove from freezer and use a plane grater to grate it into whatever. stays fresh, doesn't turn into little mystery turds and lasts forever!
so i'd have to say that the plane grater is the best thing in my kitchen. will grate nutmeg, garlic, frozen ginger, chocolate, parmesan and all manner of lovely things!
greetings from new orleans!
Any particular brand of baby wipes or just generally?
DeleteI do keep fresh garlic and frozen ginger around, I do promise you - but in emergency (or lazy!) scenario, it's a godsend :-D
How's New Orleans?!
any baby wipes. i'm cheap, so whatever's the cheapest (good thing i don't have a baby, eh?)
Deletenew orleans was a BLAST!!! thanks for asking!
I got this bottled chilli sauce from Swaziland called Swazi Fire, and now I use it in everything. It's fecking hot. Another staple in the looby pantry is Sasinsbury's Easy Ginger (which I once gave as a birthday present to this utterly sextastic female friend of mine who has the most beautiful long ginger hair).
ReplyDeleteI'm dying to hear about Valentines Day!
Swazi Fire sounds mucho fiery! But lazy ginger sounds a lot like this garlic and ginger thang. So, this friend of yours. Just a friend? *pops open the Pringles and settles down to hear alll about it*
DeleteI have a jar of the plain garlic of that brand (same price as a jar a quarter of the size from the 'posh ingredients' aisle of the same supermarket!), Dunns River Jamaican everyday seasoning and Encona chilli sauce. They are my 3 staple solutions for when I need to pep up a recipe!
ReplyDeleteThe plain garlic one is good too. Not seen the Dunns River Jamaican....must go and check it out, Perdita!
DeleteMy Polish vegetable seasoning (which I have run out of atm so need to get some more) It's similar to Swiss Bouillon powder, so I'm using that atm. Also there is always a jar of lazy garlic in the fridge. I use fresh as well but the lazy stuff is handy for quick dins.
ReplyDeleteDemand to know more about Polish vegetable seasoning as polish plums in chocolate are One Of My Very Most Favourite Things and suspect that Polish Seasoning might be a Good Thing too.
Deletedo you mean VEGETA or one of the new polish knock-offs? i swear by them too! make soups pop, and i make a lot of soups!
