How would you get the oil and water to mix? Also, wouldn't water be a problem with a lot of things (like cake), actually making them stick? Just so y'all know, I wouldn't use this for baked goods. It does stick. I sprayed my cake pan with it, and it didn't noticeably stick, but that was a nonstick cake pan anyway, and I didn't dump the whole cake out. I sprayed a muffin pan with it, to bake those super speedy yeast rolls. I had to carve them out of the pans with a steak knife.

I was kind of hoping it would work. Oil clogs up the sprayer pretty badly.

So far my sprayer hasn't clogged, so I guess the water is working. It works good for other things, though. Just not baked goods.

I'm trying out something that I dreamt a couple of nights ago. It's a mixture of conditioner, baking soda, and water for washing your hair. I don't normally use conditioner because it makes my hair oily, but this didn't. I'm going to test it with a different kind of conditioner and work out some actual measurements then, if I'm happy with it, I'll post the recipe. So far, I like it, but I want to be sure it works with other conditioners.

You know how the DIY health stuff people always say to rinse your hair with vinegar? I want to (someday when I remember it) see if the vinegar rinse can be thickened with cornstarch and then used. There's just something cold and unpleasant about pouring cold vinegar water over your head in the shower! I just don't know if the cornstarch will leave a film. If I remember to try it, I'll let y'all know.

I add warm water to the vinegar - 2 T of vinegar in a cup of warm water in a plastic cup. (no sense tempting fate with a glass cup). I usually pour the vinegar in the cup before I get in the shower and set it on the edge of the tub. Then, when I'm ready to rinse, fill the cup from the shower and pour it on.

See, I never remember to take the vinegar with me. I had a recipe for hair rinse one time that used about a cup of strong rosemary tea with the vinegar in it. I kept it in a squirt bottle in the shower, but it always seemed way colder than room temp. Or maybe it was room temp which was way colder than my shower!

How about putting a small bottle of vinegar in the shower and keep a plastic cup turned upside-down over it?

That would probably work.

That's what I did when I was a teenager and had to use Fels Naptha to wash my hair because it was so oily. The vinegar was the only thing I found that would rinse out the soap thoroughly and leave my hair squeaky clean.

BTW, I'm still testing the baking soda/conditioner mix. I think it's working well, but I have yet to test another conditioner. I bought some and forgot where I put it. I found it this morning and mixed up a new batch, so I should know in a few days.
