I have finally broke down and bought a kitchen stool because standing by the stove watching food cook is really starting to hurt my back.
It is red and looks a whole lot like the one Grandma had in her kitchen. I paid extra for the red, a gray one would have been thirty bucks cheaper. That’s typical, the fuzzbutt’s fountain is red and cost more than a white one would. I guess they wouldn’t price things that way if idiots like me didn’t keep paying them.
Way back when I was working for the county, we came across a memory foam pillow with cooling gel that Hubs wanted. It was around thirty bucks which was a lot of money for a pillow back then which is why we both remembered the price. He’s been bleeding on it almost nightly and I can’t toss it in the washing machine. Spot cleaning only helps so much.
He got really fussy when I told him that I was going to throw his nasty, old, blood-covered pillow away in the trash when he finally finished the skin cancer treatment, despite promising that we could go to Charleston and shop until we found the perfect pillow again.
Last week I thought to feel around the pillow cover seams until I felt something sticking out and cut it open to find a manufacturers label. I was super happy to find out that not only was the company still in business, they sold the exact same pillow!
I ordered one (65 bucks, much more reasonable than I expected) and it arrived today. Hubs has approved it and is willing to use it when he’s done bleeding. (He’s got something growing on his upper eyelid that wasn’t there last year. That’s going to be a bitch to deal with and I’m sure it will bleed more than anything else that has happened so far.
His new pillow is noticeably lighter than his old one. I’m trying to convince myself that the maker changed to lighter materials because the other option is 30 years of dead skin cells and dried spit. I’ll probably be using double pillow cases for him until I can pitch the pillow…
Thank you for that, its good to know that my memory had some basis in fact.
I have not. I have never heard of such a thing before and have put FF onions on the shopping list. Did you mom also sprinkle some on top of the loaf for color? and if so, at the beginning of the bake or when she took the lid off the pot? I have willing test tasters so will see how it works next week.
Same. Unless something glitches and the minutes don’t match. Then I dig out my owner’s manual and Read The Fucking Directions.
It must be super handy to have the linen cabinet next to the washer and drier, I’ve never been that lucky.
We’ve had about half an inch of rain over the last couple of hours. The outside temp dropped over 20 degrees in less than an hour and my possum’s food bowl filled up with water. I dumped everything out and refilled the bowl and then pushed it under the shed’s eve where it should have been all along.
I bought a black French press coffee pot because the red one was more than 50% higher.
