boiling cinnamon in water will remove (mask) almost any smell. Works
well just before the parents come to visit and keeps them from looking
for and throwing out your stash.
Corn Tortillas do well in a toaster oven, if not slap them onto a hot frypan
sans oil.
coke will rot your nose
sugar in raisin bread is cause for early flash point.

Blood pudding may be a poor translation, basically it is a black pudding made from blood, flour and eggs (I guess) fried in slices served with fried bacon. Nicer than it sounds really

Well vegans wouldn´t eat any traditional farmers food:
Blood pudding
Pork pan-cake (in my oven right now)
Pork sausage with root-mash
Pigs feet
Pigs knees
However my brother-in-laws son is a vegan and he often drops by to yell at me and drink my beer and Jack Daniels.....

I usually make the frozen pizza right on the rack (so I don't have to scrub the pan), and when I take it out of the oven I slide it right back onto the cardboard tray. If I get the small pizzas, I just crack it in half when it's cool, so I don't even dirty the pizza cutter.

We use oven cleaner to clean some really dirty, pitted and stained windows, and I know for a FACT that you do not want this stuff coming anywhere near your skin. We were required to wear respirators and rubber gloves, and for very good reason. This stuff feels like pepper spray on the lungs(if you breath in the mist) and it will "burn" off your top layers of skin. Even though we were supposed to wear the respirators, we often didn't. We even used it to kill bee's nests if we had no bee killer. NASTY stuff.

IF you want some skin altering fun, try Jasco brand paint remover. Makes oven cleaner look like Avon Skin so soft.

Burnarific!!

Takes paint from ANYTHING.

Nair contains salts that interrupt some molecular bonds that hold hair together.
Oven cleaner contains caustic soda which dissolves fats and other organic crap. Non-caustic formulas use some ethers. Don't rub oven cleaner on your body, don't clean your oven with Nair.

i don't know if it's too late to revisit that whole smashed bread scenarion, but i just wanted to say that if you buy real bread (you know, the kind with the short ingredients list made up of words you recognize and know how to pronounce and lacking any words that end in "-60"), you probably couldn't smash it thin like that and would therefore eliminate your fire problem. plus you'd probably feel better. because you'd be a bread snob. like me.

That's the problem with real bread, though. Doesn't a wafer-thin piece of toast sound better? Oh, the virtues of Wonderbread....You can form it into a doughy breadball, and it seems to last for weeks without getting moldy, and Velveeta simply tastes better against the smooth texture of Wonderbread.

Depilatories work by breaking down hair with a high pH substance such as sodium thioglycolate or calcium thioglycolate - which reacts with the protein structure of hair. Oven cleaners and drain cleaners are typically ~1.5% sodium thioglycolate by mass.
