I have something similar to Oxi-Clean, called Chemipro Oxi[/url:1ffgupex], and you're right, it's great for lifting crud. The important thing is it has no fragrance added. Does Oxi-Clean have blue grains also? If so, I've seen advice not to use it.

If ONLY you had posted this about 40 (or 60 ) years ago and didn't kill the spider ( assuming the spider was a radioctive mutant) then a whole genre of comic book fiction could be attributed to a Beoir member and his piss poor sanitation!!

And you would be the Sooooper Hero!!

The spiders may have gotten away, but we're now experimenting with maggots in Cherry Plum liqueur. Imagine the super powers with them!

Maybe next year I'll get a beer out of them, as we got 70kg this year (the cherry plums, not the maggots)! <!-- s:| --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_neutral.gif" alt=":|" title="Neutral" /><!-- s:| -->

70kg? That's a lot of fruit. What did you do with it?

For the past week, pretty much every day, my wife has been making jam (some with additions like vanilla or rum), juice and "liqueur" with a base of gin or vodka (like Rumtopf). Put it this way, we're both sick of seeing them, and she picked another one-and-a-half buckets today, the last of them. Not sure if they'd be good for beer, though I've seen some commercial examples using the same plums, but in a wild version. Not that I have time to brew <!-- s:( --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" title="Sad" /><!-- s:( -->

I would be curious about making wine out of them. Might have to add some sugar though.
