Did some shopping today. Stopped by a place called the People's Coop, which is really close to my house. It's a bit pricey, but they have all kinds of neat stuff.
They have just about everything in bulk. Cleaners, brown rice vinegar, agave nectar, all kinds of things. I picked up some slightly chunkier (although still smallish pieces) of TVP there. My partner really likes Russell's TVP sausage recipe and asked me to make more. So I made that tonight.
I bought some dish soap, forgot the brand, I'll write it down later. I"m planning to dilute a bit. I should have bought some powder dishwasher detergent, I'll get that later. I still have to find glycerin though, for making laundry detergent. What we have will last quite a while, still.
I have some Revere ware copper bottom pots. I read that baking soda will clean the tarnish off. Didn't work. I have 'Bar Keeper's Friend', that does work. Not sure if there is anything I need to add to the baking soda to make it work.
Just a lot of random stuff today! Tomorrow, steamed veggies! :)

This is about trying to live frugally in a two bedroom apartment in Portland Oregon. It's a great place to live, but when money is tight, you need to find ways to live a good life, while spending less money. I'm learning every day.

Russell's tvp has made multiple appearances by popular demand at our house as well. Isn't it funny how somehting so simple can be such a hit?
