Q: What’s the best way to clean scrub brushes? I have a Chef’n PalmBrush, and I use it to scrub a lot of root vegetables, like beets and potatoes. I usually just toss it in the dishwasher, but the last time I used it, I could smell a faint soap scent. Should I try a different method to get it clean?

Back in 2008 I posted about the wonderful wines of the Alto Adige -– the breathtakingly beautiful region nestled beneath the snow-capped Italian Alps, just south of Austria. In mid-September I was fortunate enough to revisit the area. Once more I was captivated not just by its picture postcard beauty, but by the diversity and deliciousness of its wines –- an authentic expression of Alpine purity and focus.

Day 2 Task: Declutter and clean pantry and food storage areas
Prior to moving a few months ago I cleared out my pantry of all the duplicates, oddities, and old stuff, so I thought this task was going to be a breeze. I’ll just wipe everything down and straighten it up. Oh, and I guess I should probably try to clean off the sticky masking tape residue on my flour containers. And that’s where my problems started.
