Thanks for the tips, mjd. Normally cooking oil isn't a problem - it comes off by just wiping it quickly with a damp cloth and a drop of dish soap (I just use a different brand) and washing the garment in the washing machine. Gall/bile soap works wonders as well; I have it in addition to other stain removers. This time I didn't notice the stains until later when the oil had really infiltrated the fibers. What's worst, the tiny oil spots/splatters are deep orange in color due to the curry, saffron and paprika in the chicken. Well, this is peanuts - not a 150 $ silk dress or a leather jacket. I'm sure the t-shirt will still be usable in the future; it just needs a good wash (or a cardie on top). This "incident" was just a good excuse to utilize the discount and get another tee... Summer's comin' and I can run around in the vegetable garden wearing a perky shade of green
. Our countryside cabin is filled with all kinds of damaged clothes and 60's style relic excuses for a garment. They're perfect for shoveling the vegetable plot, going fishing or picking mushrooms, emptying the outhouse (luckily a compost model!) and painting shacks or garden furniture. It's really good to keep worn out and damaged clothes for dirty/messy work. We even utilize most of the torn rags as floorcloths, garage work cloths or paint brush cleaners. But of course this fashionista favors Moschino sunglasses, brand new cotton and linen dresses, sheer shirts, wrap-skirts and leather sandals even in the garden 
... <sigh>.
. I ordered a pair of rheuma-friendly garden/summer slippers to match my Mrs Shrek-tees today.
