Manuel Noriega saved a house I was living in in New Hampshire. Local
shopping wasn't much, so about once a week I drove to a city about an
hour away. I was getting ready to go when the news came on that we had
invaded Panama and surrounded the palace where Noriega was living. I
started watching the news and after a while the house began to shake and
I smelled smoke. Something had gone wrong with the furnace, and when I
opened the door to the basement, I got a face full of smoke. I turned
off the furnace and called the emergency number and the fire department
came and took care of it. We were renting this house while my husband
was on a short contract to teach at a college. The owner of the house
sent me flowers!! For saving his investment.

Isn't it amazing how much color there is in a teensy drop of blueberry
juice? I think you could dye yards and yards of muslin with just a
eyedropper of blueberry juice. Beet juice is similar. Enduring color,
too. Lasts and lasts, through repeated washings...

What, you haven't ever scrubbed the ceiling with a nice new sponge mop???

Try some hot rubbing alcohol on the spots, then... the anthocyanins have
been hydrolyzed to the aglycones if they're not coming out with detergent
and water, and they'll dissolve out in hot alcohol.
See what happens when you spend too much time studying chemistry? Warps
you for life.... ;-)

No. I left the spot there on purpose. This way the children have one teeny
little thing to tease their otherwise perfect mother about. LOL!!!
Actually, I didn't see that spot for a few days. By that time, it was well
and truly dried and a sponge mop wasn't gonna get it. I'm sure we'll paint
the ceiling eventually. LOL

Is that what they mean by "better living through modern chemistry?" ;)

Biscuit Head:
A derogatory slang nickname for a border collie whose covert, illicit
counter-surfing activities lead her to bite into a gallon-sized,
improperly vented ziplock bag containing active sourdough starter, with
explosive results.
I was annoyed at losing the starter but it's hard not to laugh at a dog
whose ears are spackled to to her neck.
