It burns at first, but really dries up and heals your sinuses. You can use an eyedropper and tilt your head back if you don't have an actual nasal inhaler bottle.

I wonder if a little vinegar would remove
the smell because of its pH level? But then to get rid of the vinegar smell...HMMMM...Be safe and use the Arm and Hammer baking soda. =)
Magic of vinegar.
Everybody always tells about the magic of vinegar. I got to learn firsthand today about it. I pulled a real stu*id one this morning, left some food in the microwave too long remembered it when I smelled it burning. Pulled it out and it was black and stunk up the whole house. I opened all the windows, froze my butt off (it's cold here) and no luck. I looked on the internet and found a site that said to boil some water and vinegar on the stove and it will take the burnt odor away. I used about 3 cups of vinegar and 2 quarts of water and simmered it on the stove for 3 hours and the smell is totally gone. What a relief. Thought I was never going to get rid of that odor. Now all I smell is the roast I have in the oven. And no, it's definitely not going to get burnt! 
Oh wow! Look at the spit and vinegar!
 'Tit's okay. I'm just psyched a few people clicked on the link! Right before I went to bed last night there were only about 5 clicks to see what I wrote, and one of them was mine makin' sure the link worked!
Right after I posted, there was a woman in the stall pulling the baby (okay, foal) out of the mamma horse (mare). I still don't know if it was a boy (colt) or a girl (filly), but haven't logged on yet today to see if they put something on their website to tell one way or another. I don't see any nuggets hanging down, but I don't think the camera zooms in to check under the hood.
That website, marestare.com has oodles of live cams posted on the internet for people to watch horses (even donkeys!) give birth. My boss was on IM last night and I let her know and both she and her daughter got to watch it. I think they are hooked! Good clean entertainment...well, maybe not CLEAN...even I was ooged out at seeing what I can only imagine was the placenta hanging out of the horse until she expelled it. But still, of all the junk out there on the internet...good stuff in my opinion!
Will you share your vinegar pie recipe? Would appreciate it. (nm)

Lice prevention -- distilled white vinegar (sm)
After shampooing, rinse hair with 50/50 mixture of white vinegar and water, protecting eyes.
My mom used this prevention faithfully on all of us and none of us ever had lice infestation, just shiny hair.
Just had to tell you that yesterday I bought the apple cider vinegar s/m
tablets for severe unrelenting hot flashes. I felt bad all day yesterday and was hoping it was not due to the pills. I only took two because of that. Went to bed early and today I have had a total of 2 hot flashes so far and it is 12 noon. I would have literally had dozens of terrible hot flashes by now. Thanks to all of you who shared your thoughts about ACV and for the dear poster who told me it was available in pill form. I honestly think this may be my answer. I feel like a new person and pray this continues. I can't believe the improvement after taking 2 tablets yesterday!  THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
Would love measurements for vinegar pie, can you use graham crust?
Still time for one more pie!
Cut the salt in whatever you eat during day and stretch

I can't cook, so take this with a "grain of salt," sm
and maybe someone already posted this, but the best meatloaf is made with stove top stuffing as the filler...
Good luck.
I think the sweetness just combines with the salt from the ham
s
can you separate the flavor from salt?
no, no more than you can separate the Christianity from the Christian. why should he have to HIDE his Bible in a drawer -- because the mere sight of it offends you non-believers? now THAT is silly. and calling the word of God propaganda is very offensive. Ah, but no so much to me as to HIM. and you will one day be before that 'big guy in the sky' and wishing you hadn't been so foolish.
Thanks. I just ordered the salt and the baconaise
I think, if the Baconaise is good, DH will be happy. He can have BLTs again. That's his favorite sandwich.
Want to tell you about my Salt Lake visit
as you said your MIL there. I visited there and that was the best smelling city I think I have ever been in. I wrote email to the chamber of commerce there stating that. Have no idea where the sweet smell from but wonderful smell walking on the steets there.
Grape tomatos, stuffed with feta cheese. Mix red wine vinegar and olive oil and drizzle over top.
;P
Popcorn, homemade, with butter and a little salt

Sorry, meant to say garlic salt, not sauce!mt

I saw this on Martha Stewart....you pour salt into a paper bag
put the flower head first into the bag upside down, twist the top sorta so salt doesnt fall out and shake it around like shake-n-bake. it breaks up the dust and knocks it off..never have tried it myself though..but sounds like it might work..martha stewart style.
Utah or Salt Lake City, info please
My vacation is right around the corner, starting the 25th of this month. I would like to know what is this doing for the people coming into SLC, is there a problem with the fires there? I am still (hopefully) looking forward to visiting your state, my first time there. Any sites I should try to work in? Thanks.
Chicken broth and salt water gargling
but we mix in about the same amount of baking soda as salt in the hot water. It improves the taste and helps cut that feeling that acid is eating away your throat.
Brunch guest who can't have dairy or salt - snowed in!
Out of ideas! Also, looking for simple recipe for brunch requiring stuff I have on hand. Martha always has some confounded ingredient I never heard of. Lost my hash brown recipe. Have frozen hash browns, sour cream, cr. chicken soup, butter & chips, forgot how I put them all together last time. Locked in, more snow coming, zero degrees in NE, don't even know if people will make it here. I'm frustrated. Have a spiral ham on hand, thank goodness! Sounds like I'll be cooking but will they come in the stormy weather. Darned if I do, darned if I don't! The no dairy, no salt thing is driving me up the walls.
Oh well, have a happy holiday. Tip: Put furniture polish or cooking oil on your snow shovel and the snow won't stick.
Here are some dairy-free recipes. Then leave out the salt, of course

I have tried their bacon salt, which is good, but haven't tried baconnaise. nm

6 pumpkin pies, 2 vinegar pies and a chocolate chiffon pie sm
So now that I have caught your attention...just what is a vinegar pie, you ask.
In the south, they are referred to as transparent pie. You will sometimes hear it called sweet and sour pie. It is good real cider vinegar, the kind with the mother at the bottom, brown sugar, white sugar, butter and eggs, a bit of flour. It is like water when you put in the shell. You bake it for an hour and it comes out about like the goo in a pecan pie with no nuts. It is not sour a bit, nor is it sickly sweet. It is sweet with a bit of an apple bite. The kids love it and when younger son is home for the holidays, he will devour one of them at a sitting. He literally comes in and sees the vinegar pie, takes one and says: So...what is everyone else having? The other son won't eat pumpkin or vinegar, so he has the chocolate chiffon. The rest of us are pumpkin eaters.
