If you’re the man of the house, male or female, I’m sure you’ve heard of WD40. Yep, the best 20th century invention spray that lubricates and loosens rusted bolts and solves a million+1 problems.

Andre was cook-in-charge fixing Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup for lunch yesterday. He was doing the latter part when a loud "OH MAH GASH!" was heard coming from the kitchen. I rushed to check what went wrong. As soon as I got into the heat of the matter, it was clear to me what transpired seeing him carefully scoop the battery-operated pepper mill out of the boiling soup. It apparently slipped out of his hands while seasoning. I immediately removed the batteries, washed off the soup with running water, dried it a bit and sprayed a good amount of WD40. Before dinner, I towel-dried the gadget and installed back the batteries to check if it still works.

Ladies and gentlemen, angels and saints -ja, it verks!

WD40 may just be what the world needs to end this pandemic. Never stay home without it.

And oh, the soup? It was electrifying!
