Well, what do you know!

I have been staining a new media cabinet the last several days, which has left my hands a nice reddish-brown color. Although I have tried several different soaps, I still sported nice splotches of red stain on my hands. I resigned myself to the fact that it would just have to wear off, but at least it wouldn't come off on anything else after that many washings.

Well, as I prepared to knead bread for dinner rolls, I greased my hands with softened butter. And what do you know, but a nice, hand printed layer of stain peeled right onto the dough as I started to knead. I can only assume that it was the butter at work.

Aside from having to remake the dough, I found this discovery intriguing.
