Hints From Chinese Heloise

Yesterday when we walked into the tiny Chinatown shop specializing in tea, we noticed wedges of lemon, big chunks of skin still on pineapple, and onion quarters, edges drying and curling up brown, scattered randomly on shelves. We wondered if they were perhaps an employee's leftover lunch, forgotten in the midst of helping a customer. Being the curious people we are, we asked.

Turns out it is an ingenious, non-toxic, low cost remedy to take away paint smell. And very effective it seemed to us as neither of us had any idea the adjoining room had been painted the day before.
