Magic white powder

Photography: Christina SimonsThis isn’t the white powder you vacuum up your nose. It was the type that, as a kid, I mixed with vinegar and red dye to make miniature lava flows for school projects.Now I’m more likely to sprinkle down a drain with lemon juice or sprinkle in a burnt pan.
