Homemade Snickerdoodle Cookies Jar Mix Recipe And Bean Soup Mix

I had just finished typing up all of the things below when my neighbor called me (she was out of town for the weekend) and frantically asked me if I would get my copy of the Dining on a Dime Cookbook and look up our recipe for skunk odor removal from the cookbook. Her dog had just had a run-in with a skunk.

I chuckled as I gave it to her, explaining that I had just been trying to paint a picture for everyone of just how many different and unusual things we have included in Dining on a Dime. The skunk odor remover was one I had completely forgotten about!

(My neighbor just called again as I was finishing this section and I told her what I was writing. She said to tell everyone that the skunk stuff really works and that the dog gets to sleep in the house tonight. Ahhh. Another happy ending. : ) : )
