Unusual Uses For Beer
While beer and wine seldom lasts long in my household, from time to time there is the odd can or bottle left over after a party. When this rare event occurs, the leftovers can be put to use in a huge variety of ways - many of which most people would never think of.
Soak in it
Beer is an excellent skin conditioner. Next time you want to have a long soak in the bath, tip(v.倾倒,滴入)in a good can of dark beer before you hop in and just soak in it! This is a nice alternative to adding salt crystals (which soften water), but I see no reason that you couldn’t combine both for a super luxurious bath.
Polish Your Furniture
Beer is a surprisingly good wood furniture polish. Let a can of beer go completely stale(adj.走味的,不新鲜的) and flat and pour a little onto a polishing cloth. Buff(v.擦光,抛光) your timber furniture and follow up with a final dry buff. You will be amazed at how brilliant and shiny your furniture will end up looking.
Marinate(v.浸泡) Meat
Beer makes an excellent marinade(n.浸泡汁). It really doesn’t matter what meat you are preparing - it will benefit almost all types from a few hours (the longer the better) in a marinade of beer. You can get really adventurous too - add any flavors you like to the beer.
Naturally Remove Slugs & Fertilize Your Garden
Slugs are a terrible pest in a garden - particularly if you are growing for eating. Instead of using chemicals like DDT on your veges, bury a small saucer(n.碟子)up to its lip in the garden and put fresh beer in it each day. The yeast(n.酵母)and other extracts in a can of beer are very good for plants. If you end up with a pile of left-over half-drunk cans or bottles of beer, tip them out onto the garden.
Wash Your Hair
Beer “shampoo” can add luster and body (n.强度和韧度) to dull limp hair. It is also a much more natural alternative to store-bought shampoos which contain a lot of chemicals. Just mix one can of beer with a raw egg and use it as you would use a normal shampoo.
在我家不管是啤酒还是葡萄酒都放不长久,有时候在一场聚会后会零零散散剩下些瓶瓶罐罐。当这种极偶然的情况发生时,剩下的就可以派上很大用途——有不少绝对超出你的想象。
啤酒浴
啤酒乃是润肤的良方。下一次想要美美的泡个澡时,不妨在水中加一听黑啤!啤酒浴的功效绝不亚于能软化水质的盐晶浴(软化水质),没有理由不让自己享受一下超级豪华的啤酒盐晶浴。
保持家具光泽度
令人意外的是,啤酒还是木制家具的最佳抛光剂。在抹布上倒一些气味已经挥发干净的啤酒,把布包在家具表面,片刻后用干布将家具擦拭干净。这样,家具就会变得闪亮如新,绝对让你大吃一惊。
腌渍肉食
啤酒可是口味极佳的调味品。不管你准备的是哪种肉食,用啤酒腌渍数小时后都会变得很有口感,并且浸渍的时间越长越好。你还可以大胆的往啤酒里加其他你喜欢的佐料。
天然杀虫剂&增加土壤肥力
毛毛虫可是花园里讨人厌的害虫-特别是如果你打算在花园里种些蔬菜的话。在边缘埋个小碟子,每天都倒些新鲜的啤酒在上面,这样你就可以不用喷DDT之类的化学农药来治虫了。啤酒里的酵母菌和其他物质都是植被的养料。如果你喝剩下了啤酒,就可以它们倒入院子中。
洗发
头发香波可以为黯淡易断的头发增加光泽感和韧度。它比商店里含大量化学物质的洗发液拥有更多的天然物质成分。啤酒加生鸡蛋的混合物完全可以替代正常的洗发液。 |
