MINCING MEMORIES: THE WD-40 REVIVAL
Nan’s old meat mincer was a family legend - the kind that came with stories about how she fed a big family on a small budget, turning simple ingredients into something special. But after years forgotten in a box in the garage, it was more rust than relic.
Enter WD-40: the real MVP. A few generous sprays, some elbow grease, and a bit of faith, and the old gears started moving like it was 1965 again. Even nan’s rusted kitchen scissors got a second life, thanks to a last-minute WD-40 rescue.
Once this old treasure was back in action, we minced fresh chuck steak, added the usual ingredients - veggies, seasoning—wrapped it in pastry, and baked up pasties that gave nan’s a run for their money.
Turns out WD-40 doesn’t just fix rusty bits - it unlocks memories, and the stories behind them.
