Clever idea. Maybe it will keep mosquitoes away, like citronella.

super great idea thanks Lori!

Once when we were stranded and had to sleep on our vehicle, Juan made a mini campfire by putting some gasoline in a tuna can and lit it...amazing amount of light!

Thank you --- and I bet it would help with mosquitoes. And if you only eat the top exposed part of the orange, you can use the other half to clean a grill.

Ha! Smart. Manteca has so many uses..

But I had to stop and think for a minute...do I still have any shoes with laces? (Just the running shoes- all others are velcro, buckles or slip ons...)
