The EE’s kitchen is filled with surprises. One never knows what to expect from day to day. Sweet or savory? Mundane or exotic? Recipe or creation? Something or nothing? Just teasing about that last one! One thing that seems inevitable is strong smelling ingredients refusing to budge from my hands. It’s a pet peeve. For example, I love eating garlic, but despise the smell of the raw stuff on my hands. Another inevitability with lots of cooking is lots of hand washing which leads to dry skin. This cycle resulted in the following receipt for Gingerbread Hand Scrub.
Gingerbread Hand Scrub
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/8 cup veggie oil
Combine dry ingredients. Gently stir in vanilla and oil until well blended.
Store in a jar by the kitchen sink. When your hands need a pick me up, gently massage 1 tablespoon of Gingerbread Hand Scrub into your hands and rinse thoroughly under warm water. A gentle exfoliation, moisturizing, and a delicious scent… what more can a cook’s hands desire*?
*Trick question. Of course this cook’s hands would desire a lovely set of Wusthof knives…
