Passable Housekeeping* tip o’ the day

If, and I’m not saying you are, but if you are the kind of person who:

  • Makes a huge batch of spaghetti sauce in your
  • Super-exquisite French Blue Le Cruset 8 Qt French Oven and
  • At one point, the pot boils and sends molten spaghetti sauce all over your shirt, arms and counter and
  • You slam the lid on that puppy, turn the heat down and change your shirt and let it simmer down for a few hours and
  • You make a mess o’lunches for the week with the sauce and
  • You pack all of the remaining sauce in nice neat quart-size freezer bags for later and
  • You remember to remove the bags from the glass loaf pan you used to keep them upright in the freezer before they have frozen into a solid block of glass and sauce and
  • Six full days later your husband says “babe, did you know there is spaghetti sauce all over the ceiling?” and
  • As a matter of fact, you didn’t know (see molten sauce on arms, above) then

apparently, it’s perfectly safe, depending on the type of paint on your ceiling, to use your Swiffer® with a Swiffer® Wet Cloth to clean six day old spaghetti sauce off the ceiling.

Not that you, dear reader, would ever have a need, but just in case.  Just putting it out there. 

* I say passable housekeeping because a)someone else owns the name Good Housekeeping, and b)clearly Good Housekeeping would have noticed it six days earlier.
