soniaToday I improved a slow bathtub drain by pouring in 1/2 cup of baking soda and a cup of vinegar, and a little later pouring in 7 cups (the max for my electric tea kettle) of boiling water. In the past all I had to do was fish clumps of hair out of the drain, but that wasn't doing it lately.
A couple of days ago I improved my internet speed by logging on to the Comcast site and trying their automatic troubleshooting, even though I have my own modem. Speedtest was giving me 2 mb download speed, and after the troubleshooting, it was back to 70 mb. I *think* it restarted the modem, although I didn't notice my connection being unavailable. I was just resignedly going through those steps before tackling their abysmal phone support, so I was delighted that it resolved the problem. It's been terribly slow for at least a week, and possibly slowly degrading for a while before that. I thought it was all Firefox's fault that sites were loading slowly. Note to self: occasionally restart modem!
I also figured out the Bog Mummy Hairstyle, viakaberett. Longer post here, with picture.
And I made pumpkin coconut custard. Or maybe soup, since it hasn't set up yet. Either way, it's delicious. I will post a recipe later. And I suppose I should take a picture before I dig in, if it sets up. ETA: Recipe posted on gluten-free com. It did set up just fine overnight, and I took a photo, but it doesn't really add anything to the recipe.
