Tommy's coffeemaker is very pretty and very clean and shiny. It makes the same number of cups, yet has a smaller footprint. This is a very good thing with limited counterspace. Years ago, a church member in town asked if his church could send people to work in my yard. Of course, my answer was in the affirmative. I decided to make pumpkin bread for the guys and have it on a table outside.
When my friend heard, she gave me a coffeemaker so they could have coffee with the pumpkin bread. She said it worked fine, that she wanted a new one for some reason. Several years later, Tommy said his coffeemaker died, so I gave the gifted, used coffeemaker to him. I gave him the one he used for twelve years until it died last Friday. I would say that coffeemaker served long and well. When my friend gave it to me, it was working just fine.
All along the interstate, redbuds were in bloom. The made a nice lacy edging to the trees, sort of like crochet or tatting on the edge of a dresser cloth or a tablecloth. All around the neighborhood redbuds are blooming. We need one.
We were watching Modern Family when Mitchell said he bought a Diva cup. Of course, it was for Lily. I asked Tommy if he knew what was a Diva cup. He said no, so I explained it in plain language. You should have seen the reaction that showed on his face. He did not make a face on purpose, but his horrified reaction showed. Men are funny.
Resident Alien is better this year than last. I cannot imagine how people think up these things.
Wednesday night, we had pork loin and cabbage. I didn't get around to baking the acorn squash or the spaghetti squash. Tommy could have other vegetables that were cooked, but, he, too, had lots of cabbage and pork loin sandwich. There is enough for another meal.
On Thursday, I promise I will cook the other 2 cabbages, 3 spaghetti squash, and 5 acorn squash. Okay, maybe not all of it.
Wednesday, I found Hormel Chili No Beans bogo. So, 2 cans for $2.99. Spending $1.49 a can is much cheaper than full price. I only bought 4 cans, This is not a staple like tomato products and green beans. But, occasionally, I do want chili cheese dogs.
Tommy washed a pan with gunk in it from long ago. I was just waiting. Every time he washes dishes, I walk in a huge puddle of water....grrr. I don't say anything, just throw a used dishtowel down and use my foot to wipe it up. I am going to research what will remove the plastic from the eye. If you have a product you can recommend, I will check it out. Do you have a personal favorite for this task? I am reading on the internet in the meantime.
Wednesday was so gloomy. Today, Thursday, I can see blue sky and brilliant sunshine out the little fan light. So, today is shaping up to be a pretty and pleasant day. How is your day and week so far?
