Well, boys and girls, we've hit that time of the year again, when Mrs. O'Rights breaks out the O'Rights family china and silverware, for the holidays. Guess whos job it is to polish said silverware. That's right...
me! Now, if you think that I'm gonna sit and buff each and every spoon in that fancy velvet lined wooden box, with metal polish...guess again. We're talkin' a years worth of tarnish, on a shitload of spoons! I gots better things to do with my time. So...what Mrs. O'Rights doesn't know, doesn't hurt her. (she actually thinks that I sit and buff all those forks, knives and spoons. HAH!) Here's my trick. Take a baking pan (I use one thats 3x9x13) and line the bottom with aluminum foil. Now, place the spoons, etc. on the foil (each piece has to make contact with the foil), boil up some H2O in a sauce pan and disolve in some baking soda. Pour the boiling water into the baking pan. Wait about 5 minutes. The tarnish will pull off the silverware, and "attach" itself to the aluminum foil. Violia! Nice shiny silverware for another holiday season. Mrs. O'Rights thinks I work my fingers to the bone every year shining up our silver. Don't anyone
dare tell her otherwise...'cause I don't
have a trick for peeling potatoes.
