Cleaning Silverware 2015

Here is the glittering ware when I tried a Recipe sent by a friend from FB.

Thanks, it really worked amazingly.

Recipe:

How to Clean Silver Vessels - Easy way with two ingredients...

http://geethaachalrecipe.blogspot.ca/2015/10/how-to-clean-silver-vessels-pooja-items.html

Things Needed for Cleaning :

. Big Vessel to fit all the Silver items

. Water

. Cooking Soda / Baking Soda - 4 Table Spoons

. Aluminium Foil - 2 sheets

(The quantity of Cooking Soda & Aluminium Foil given above are, which I used for cleaning Items Showed in picture.

You can increase / Decrease the amount used depending upon the silver items you plan to clean.)

Method :

. First take the big pot and pour 3/4 of water and bring it to rolling boil.

. When the water is boiling, take the aluminium foil and tear it into small pieces. (Note: You can also add full aluminium sheets. But when you add small pieces it gets attached with all parts of the silver items. )

. When the water is boiling well, add the aluminium foil pieces + Baking Soda + Silver Items into it.

. Let it boil for another 3 - 5 minutes.

. Carefully take the silver items from the water when hot. You will see sparkling silver vessels.

Note:

Repeat the process when needed. But when you clean this method the vessels will stay good & sparkle like new for atleast a month or so...

My Friend Vishwa Bandhu

A memorable conversation with the daughter of my friend of about 50 years Mr Vishwa Bandhu:

Thanks Beta Ji for introducing me the family of my dear friend who has been extraordinary decent & thorough gentleman and very close to my heart.

Only the other day we went to Chandousi where we were hosted to our nose with original Kayasth food by your Nana Ji, a tall gentleman. (I have still the taste of Kachories in my mouth buds) We camped in at the Railway Station. In return we were gifted with a very sweet doll like Bhabhi.

You know what? your Dad got so much mesmerized by your sweet Mom and when he nervously introduced her to us as 'his Bhabhi' instead 'your Bhabhi'. We continued to tease them million times later.

The life is full of fun & jokes!!! We can enjoy it with grown up kids indeed.

I am impressed by sons-in-law. God may bless the family.
