for the love...

Back in the day I used to pity products like baking soda and pumpkin pie spice. They're cheap, you only use them a teaspoon at a time, and I'm pretty sure their shelf life ranks up there with twinkies.  My first box of baking soda lasted several years....and I'm pretty sure the  pumpkin pie spice in my cupboard dates back to 1998.

While I still pity pumpkin pie spice, I now understand how baking soda stays in business....

...as it turns out, it can do more than create lava, clean toilets, and rise cookies.  Combined with vinegar, it can blow up a balloon. 

And once again I'm out.  It might have been cheaper to send Dylan to every day kindergarten after all :)

Happy Friday all!
