• Pinch of dried oregano

Directions
1. Combine all ingredients in small bowl and whisk to blend.
2. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
3. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)



I have also used herb infused vinegars & I have also used lime juice instead of lemon. next time I make this I am going to change some of the herbs & see how it taste.

*Fresh Herbs are better but I usually use dried.

Outdoor Window Cleaner

I got this recipe last summer when one of my daughters travel softball teams did a fund raiser for washing windows.
we washed A LOT of windows... this works very well.



for outdoor window cleaner
1/4 C rubbing alcohol
1/3 C vinegar
1-2 squirts liquid dish soap
put into a large spray bottle & then add Hot tap water & shake.
then spray on windows
(I do use this inside as well, lately I have been using Vodka due to the flu season & trying to disinfect everything.)
this is also wonderful on the car windows!

the dish soap cleans, the vinegar removes spots & the rubbing alcohol dries so there is not the dreaded streaks!

there is a possibility that you might need to use a glass scraper if they are very old water spots, we cleaned some windows last summer that probably haven't ever been done in 20 years & they turned out sparking clean!

*side note this doesn't smell the best, but it is better than some window cleaners I have bought in the past.
