Boozin' it Up in the House

A few weeks ago I bought some cheap vodka to replenish my low supply of vanilla extract.

I only had 2 amber bottles to refill so I used a clean jar for the remainder vanilla beans.

I put the rest of the bottle in the freezer for safekeeping. Then the other day as I was taking the heated mattress pad off of our bed, I thought about an article I read about spring cleaning a mattress with vodka.

What a great idea! As I was spritzing our mattress with vodka, I thought about how the scent was like some of the hair spray I used in the 80's. Girls just wanna have fu-un!

Then I ran out of rubbing alcohol when I went to dye some bowtie pasta for the derby party.  I subbed with vodka and that was another cool use of the cheap vodka.

Still not sure how we will utilize these colorful bowties, but we shall see...

Then, yesterday when I was transporting Asian salad and lumpia rolls to the Little Ones' school for a teacher appreciation lunch, some of the dipping sauce (soy sauce/white vinegar/garlic) spilled in the back of my car. No problemo. I put some vodka in a squeeze bottle and attacked that stain like Billy Mays. Now I am out of vodka!
