my new best friends

our sink had been smelling pretty stinky. i would put lemon peel down it over and over, and the stink would still linger. so last night i decided to actually take out the little black rubber ring and look down in the garbage disposal. 

OMG IT WAS SO DISGUSTING!!!!!!!!!!

i'll spare the details, but i seriously almost barfed. i ran to the computer and googled how the heck to clean the crap i had just found. and thankfully the solution was pretty simple. fill up the disposal with ice, add a cup of coarse salt or vinegar, turn on cold water and run the disposal til the ice breaks up. tonight i coated the disposal with baking soda and poured vinegar all over it (i never get tired of watching that little science experiment), then did the ice and salt trick. and it's already looking a million times better. so to those of you out there with garbage disposals...make sure you check it every now and then!
