more mycotoxins, Jenny McCarthy, and dead fish

Today I learned that if you soak aluminum pie pans in 10% ammonia, they come out all shiny. It appears that this technique may get the mycotoxins out from under the curled-under edge of the pans, but I'm going to sniff them again in the morning to make sure. I guess my problem is that the pie-pan edges seemed fine, but the part of a metal measuring cup where the handle is spot-welded on does not seem to be fine. Ok, so I don't technically need another measuring cup, but I do want to know how to decontaminate knives with similar crannies.

In other news, what she said, and fire retardants kill fish.
