Mija, my mother never bought a product for a job a corner of foil could do. Everything she knew is in one book, The Old Mexican Way: <a href="http://oldmexicanway.com/">oldmexicanway.com</a> 📖 Be honest, did you have the balls in your tank? I read every one. ❤

I love how she is so reassuring for people who want to blame themselves for making mistakes. What a sweetheart.

I’m in TN, I used the foil to take the rust off from around a faucet and it worked great! Thank you so much!

I burn a sauce pan very badly….it was black inside! I googled how to get it clean and aluminum foil scrub ball. It worked and saved my All Clad saucepan !

I love how she says it comes off in a way that makes you want to say a bad word. :)

Foil is no longer 50 cents... It's expensive! But, useful where you need it.
