As I went to put this cereal box in the recycling bin I noticed it had writing on it in English.
Now that seems unusual in a Spanish-speaking country. The sides of the box, with the usual list of ingredients and recipes is in Spanish. And then this indication that explains it all:
The back of the box features 10 household tips. All in English. I am wondering if anybody every really reads these. So I do. Some of them I actually knew. Others I didn’t. (How exactly does an apple hinder potatoes from sprouting?) Go ahead. Click on the picture if you really want to read them all.
Upon reaching the last tip, I grow concerned. This sounds fantastic. But if baby wipes are strong enough to remove something as strong as motor oil, would we really want to use them on a baby’s bum???
I am a self-learner. I taught myself to sew and to quilt. And I taught myself how to draw. I am learning how to dye my own fabrics and am dabbling with mixed media. I am a quilt designer and teacher, and design and publish my own line of quilt patterns. With this blog I would like to share the bits and pieces of my life.

I have another tip for you Angie. If you place a pat of butter in the pot while boiling your vegetables, it won’t boil over. Works every time.
Thank you for the other tips. Some I had never heard of.
That’s a new one for me, Bev. Thanks for the tip!
Hm… Now of course what bothered me was #9 “let it sit for 15 min” when it really should just “set” for 15 min!
