Cheapskate Average Jane

Now that it's snowy outside, I decided it was time to clean off these boots and wear them again.

I got most of the mud off, but they were in serious need of polishing.

When I opened my ancient tin of Kiwi black shoe polish, it was all dried up and broken into chunks. For a moment, I considered whether it might be possible to put the remaining polish in a microwave-safe container, melt it, and pour it back into the tin.

Then I came to my senses and realized that it couldn't possibly cost more than a few dollars to just buy some more. After all, I'd probably had my current supply for more than a decade.

In the meantime, I did the best I could with what was left in the old tin.

I wanted to say thanks for the pomegranate salsa recipe you posted ages ago. I made it for our Christmas party, and jarred the extra to give. It was a hit!
