Money|Daily life can be complicated: How much sugar is too much? What kind of car should be avoided? What are good ways to help an infant sleep through the night? The federal government’s Consumer Information Catalog is a winner. The catalog is updated every quarter, offering more than 200 free and low-cost government publications on a wide variety of topics. Find it at pueblo.gsa.gov.
Time|You can rid the homestead of mold, and use a Denver product to do it. The Scott’s Liquid Gold folks have been making their wood-preserving stuff for about 50 years in Denver, and they’ve just released Scott’s Liquid Gold Mold Control 500, designed to get rid of the nasty stuff before it spreads. The product, recently approved by the Environmental Protection Agency, is available in various sizes for about $30 to $125 at hardware stores and drugstores, or online at moldcontrol500.com.
Space|Leftovers sometimes taste even better than the first serving of a dish. You’ve got to keep the stuff fresh, though: Poor storage will spoil that square of lasagne fast. Fortunately, new storage containers from FreshVac (freshvac.com) promise to preserve food for 40 percent longer than other containers by creating an internal vacuum. Push down on the lid, listen for the whistling sound, and you’ve just completed the seal. Bon appetit.
