75: In The Kitchen With Leonard Neem Oil
First — and this is important — Andrew’s house DOES NOT have bed bugs. Which is not surprising; he lives in a stand-alone rental house, he has hardwood floors (that are painted so much that they squeak), and generally doesn’t have a hospitable environment for those little freeloaders.
But we’re all glad that he has dodged a tiny, horrible bullet! So let’s get on with the show!
Listen here:
Among the subjects discussed this week, we’ve got:
Andrew sharing a dream because he hasn’t tortured us enough recently.
He also has a new idea for TV and film categories: Kitchen Companions. Imagine if you could sort your Netflix queue by what makes for the best puttering? We’ve both puttered to Nora from Queens recently.
A call from a listener with a really good idea about using cloth masks when doing especially fetid tasks around the house. Also, that same listener is not RELATED to me (Hanna), but they did go to Camp Moon Moon For Budding Bisexuals with me!
A conversation about washers and dryers and where they can hide grime and crud. One listener was so horrified by her washer’s spindle and the atrocity it contained that we all shuddered audibly. Here’s a video explaining how to get into that part of your washing machine if you’re feeling brave:
I detailed a bit of my fight against powdery mildew in the garden. Here are a bunch of articles offering different solutions, including (stinky) fish oil and (equally but differently stinky) neem oil.
Related, you SHOULD clean your house plants. I feel like I glossed over this in the pod, but it really is important.
Oh and uhhhh linseed oil? Yeah. It’s…it’s serious business.
Finally, I divulged a top-secret secret about a candle I’m in love with. Please keep it among us.
