I didn't know peanut butter had so many uses!!!! Geez, all the peanut butter that was recalled could have been used instead of thrown away!! My grandma used to rinse her hair with vinegar to make her hair shine. For a toothache....put cloves on the tooth and gum area. Guess that's the only tidbit I can think of right now. Thanks Deb for all the great info.
