So how often should you actually change your baking soda? The box on the left is from approx. 2007. The one on the right is from 2010. (OK, so now we know I don't change mine very often. This site explains why it's unnecessary anyway.)
Tom writes: "So my fridge started to stink, and I realized it’s been about 9 months since I put in a box of baking soda. So on my way home, I stop by the grocery store to pick up a few items, including baking soda for the fridge, freezer and one for the laundry closet. I realize that 9 months is a long time, but no matter, I took a look at the box. Somewhere between November and now, Arm and Hammer decides that you need to change your baking soda more frequently – instead of once every three months, now you should change your baking soda monthly. Hmmm… I’m not too sure about that – even though 99¢ really isn’t that much, monthly seems a little excessive. Maybe the “Grocery Shrink Ray” is set to shrink time periods instead of sizes for Arm & Hammer."
Tried some new snacks.

This is a picture of Trona ore and baking soda in the State Museum of Wyoming. If you are ever in Cheyenne, I recommend going to this free museum. We had a great time there. The sign for this exhibit reads:
This raw trona sample is from the TG Soda Ash mine near Green River in southwest Wyoming. Trona ore is mined, dried, filtered, and then shipped to factories in a powdered form called soda ash. After trona is refined it is used in products such as baking soda.
And it tastes even better.

Lemon Snacking Cake with Coconut Glaze
INGREDIENTS
FOR THE CAKE:
½ cup/120 milliliters neutral oil, such as grapeseed or canola, plus more for pan
3 lemons
½ cup/120 milliliters sour cream
¼ cup/60 milliliters coconut milk
2 large eggs
1 ½ cups/185 grams all-purpose flour
1 ¼ cups/250 grams granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon fine sea salt
½ packed cup/50 grams shredded sweetened coconut
PREPARATION
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9-by-9-inch pan, and then line with parchment paper, letting the two long ends hang over the edge of the pan by at least 2 inches.
Grate 2 tablespoons of zest from the lemons. Juice the lemons so you have 1/4 cup/60 milliliters juice. Add juice and zest to a medium bowl, then whisk in oil, sour cream, coconut milk and eggs.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Whisk wet mixture into dry mixture until smooth.
Scrape batter into baking pan and spread in an even layer. Sprinkle evenly with shredded sweetened coconut. Bake until the top of the cake springs back when lightly pressed in the center, and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean, 35 to 45 minutes. Let cool completely.
I started mixing my own baking powder quite a while ago. I ran out once and didn’t want to run to the store. I knew you could mix it up at home, but had never done it. So I looked up a recipe on-line. It’s so quick and easy, I’ve been mixing mine up fresh ever since. I also like homemade baking powder because I can make it aluminum free. Homemade baking powder is not double acting like most of what you buy in the store, so it’s important to bake the item right away.

My first ever Macro Monday submission, for the theme "scientific" - pretty sure baking soda & vinegar is the first science experiement I ever tried
Baking Soda and Strawberry Teeth Whitener
We have known that Baking Soda is best in our quests for pearly whites. On the other hand, strawberries contain malic acid which act as a natural astringent to remove surface tooth discoloration, says Dr. Irwin Smigel, president of the American Society for Dental Aesthetics. Thus, the combination of the two can double your chances of having whiter smiles.
How to:
1. Take one ripe strawberry and mash it properly.
2. Add 1/4 a tea spoonful of baking soda and mix until paste.
3. Gently brush on teeth for about 5 minutes.
4. Wash thoroughly with water.
5. Apply it 2-3 times a week for better results.
Note: Baking soda is abrasive and can damage teeth and tissue when used incorrectly. In using it pick soft bristles toothbrush and brush in a very gentle motion. Use alternately.
My skincare routine consists of baking soda as a wash/exfoliant, apple cider vinegar as a toner, and a honey yogurt mask as a moisturizer. Mmmm, delicious skincare...

Passover is approaching rapidly. It's a lot of effort to get rid of all food products from the house and cars containing any leavening at all, such as yeast, baking powder, and baking soda. Grain too. Then buying enough food for eight days that contain no leavening and have not been in contact with grains that may have fermented in the rain.
All pots, pans, dishes, and utensils are replaced too. It is a really big job.
I am about 90% finished. Mental discipline will be required for me to finish the last 10% by Monday at 10 AM. Can anyone spare some mental discipline? I like relaxing much better. ;)
On the other hand, pretending that we are leaving Egypt under duress, and preparing to traverse very dangerous deserts and roughing it for eight days is unimaginably wonderful and exciting. It is marvelously spiritually renewing. I spend a lot of the year wishing for it. I absolutely love it. It is definitely my favorite Holiday!!! (Hag) I always leave Pesach reluctantly and sadly. But right now I can be happy, I have eight days of great freedom and such fun. It is like camping out with a nice clean bathroom (;-)
So, חג שמח Hag Sameach v Kasher to all People of the Covenant with HaShem, Am Yisroel...
And to my many Christian friends, These are tidings of great cheer to you and yours too. Enjoy them greatly. You are definitely part of my journey, for it is a prerequisite for your own freedom!! Yoshua of Natzeret brings the message of freedom to people who did not receive the Torah at Mount Sinai. So, please be happy!.

Advice: Don't get Best Buy to install a subwoofer + alarm system in your car.
For me, the battery backup of the alarm system killed my entire car, resulting in ONLY the alarm working. (The alarm off button had no power.) Thanks Best Buy. Also, my subwoofers blew up, and had to be replaced, and the replacement -- one of those blew up. Also, although I can't prove it -- I think the amp they put in my car was not the one they sold me.
And then there's the fact that the subwoofers are made of some material that loves to grow mold when it gets wet. And my trunk gets wet. This makes my entire car stink, all the time (ergo the baking soda, though I'm really hoping to get arrested and have the police embarass themselves by testing it for cocaine). Still worth it to hvae good bass, but FUCK YOU BEST BUY, you suck. And not just for the reasons outlined here -- they violated a service contract with me and refused to replace my $400 cd player after 4 repairs. Each repair, they told me the 4th time I'd get a replacement. What do you think they told me the 4th time I brought it in? That the other 3 times weren't repairs, they were fucking cleanings. FUCK YOU BEST BUY, I'LL KILL YOU.

My sister came home from college with a yen for biscuits, and who am I to deny her? My flaky, tender buttermilk recipe gets a little crispy on top thanks to a light brushing of buttermilk and the layers are folded in with a "puff pastry" like technique.
developed in caffenol
coffee + baking soda. 3 hours.
I don't like the result btw). Its my firs roll developed this way.

Look at that devious smile.
If you are feeling sick, congested, or just plain yucky then you need to make a batch of these and prepare to feel better.

Word of caution: the ginger will make you sweat so bring cold water to drink!
