How To Get Makeup Out of Clothes

Image
  How to Remove Nail Polish Stains Nail polish is tricky because the obvious solution is to use  nail polish remover , but these formulas can be damaging to some fabrics and dyes. Be sure to use a non-acetone remover and to spot-test it before attacking the stain. Another option is to use rubbing alcohol and a paper towel to blot away the stain. Keep adding alcohol until the stain disappears.  How to Remove Waterproof Mascara Stains  Try using an oil-free makeup remover like the  Garnier SkinActive Micellar Cleansing Water . For a more heavy-duty stain, turn to your dry cleaner, who can use a professional oil solvent to remove the mark.  How to Remove Lipstick Stains  The best fix for a lipstick stain is likely already in your bathroom: hairspray. Spritz the stain, let it sit for a few minutes and dab it with a clean cloth. In a pinch, a piece of tape can be used to transfer the stain off of delicate fabrics. Finally, rinse and wash for best results. H...

Authentic Brazilian Cheese Bread

Image
  Ingredients  4 cups tapioca flour  1 1/4 cups milk  1/2 cup water  6 tablespoons oil  1 1/2 cups grated parmesan cheese  1 cups shredded Mozzarella cheese  2 large eggs  2 teaspoons salt Instructions Preheat oven to 400F degrees with a rack in the middle. Combine the milk, water, oil and salt in a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium high heat. Add the tapioca flour to the bowl of a stand mixer and, once the milk mixture boils, pour it over the flour. Turn the mixer on and mix it well. The texture will be fondant-like, really white and sticky. With the mixer still on, add the eggs, one at a time. You will think they won't mix, since the tapioca flour mixture is so sticky, but hang in there cause they will. Once the eggs are incorporated, add the cheese, a little at a time, until fully incorporated. The dough is supposed to be soft and sticky. However, if you're worried it's too liquidy, add some more tapioca flour. Just don't over do it...

Magic Mushroom Season

Image
  I found a recipe from NOM NOM Paleo that I wanted to make. And it had Mushroom Powder in it. I had to find where I can get it. Amazon, Trader Joes or make it. I actually was subbing it for a few glugs of mushroom soy sauce which turned out really good. But I am going to make my own season so I can use it in roasted veggies and many other umami recipes. Simple and easy to make and give as gifts. Ingredients: 3 ounces  dried porcini mushrooms 2 cups  Diamond Crystal Kosher salt 3 tablespoons  red pepper flakes 2 tablespoons  dried thyme 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper Steps: Measure out all your ingredients. Dump your dried ’shrooms in the food processor and pulse a few times to chop them up uniformly. If the lid of your food processor isn’t on tight, a fine mist of mushroom dust will erupt from the crack, so check the seal before you continue blitzing. Next, turn the processor on for 2 minutes or as long as it takes for the mushrooms to break down into...
