New Can Opener.

 The can opener I brought here was good, but cheap. Finally, when neither of us could open a can with it, I bought an Oxo at Belk's. It is the kind that cuts the lid off at the side of the can. I never could work it, so Tommy cuts off lids. Well, two days ago it took both can openers to get the lid off a can of tuna. The lid is in shreds.

I ordered a new Oxo that like the one lost in the house. It works great. I hate electric can openers. The Oxo above just was delivered. I could have had any of those colors. I chose red even though pink would have been better for me. The other two can openers sort of work. I am torn as to whether to keep them as a backup or give away. The Oxo that cuts off the lid is still good but a pain to use. 

The blueberries are in the freezer--three pints. I should have put them in half-pint jars but did not. There is another bowl with about a cup for use now. About a half cup a day has been my delicious treat. Tommy says they are not sweet enough for him to eat. Of course, I put little sugar in the five pounds of blueberries. I told him I can sweeten them more for him.

We took out a bag of chicken tenders for me to have for lunches and dinners for the next few days. 

We took five bags of some sort of bread from the freezer to get the blueberries, pork patties, and all the thighs into the freezer. Tomorrow, a friend is coming over to get a turkey out of the very bottom. Another day, when he is off, he will come and take all the items out and help us sort them into bins. So, that is a plan. 

He took out two bags of hotdog buns. He said there are hotdogs and the chili without beans. So, it looks like we will have two meals of hotdogs/chili/cheese. I can mix up slaw for that meal.

We went out for bananas at 8 and the air was so humid it hurt to breath it in. I had not had a banana all days and really wanted/needed one. Why do I need it? I love them and eat one every day. 

Do you have a fruit you "need" to eat every day for the pleasure or your health?

Is it hot and humid at your house?

What kind of can opener do you use? 

Melba Toast and Other Things

 

I had forgotten about Melba Toast even though I ate it as a child. 

Then, I ate this crisp from Aldi. It is so delicious, barely sweet. 

The raisin crisp is more savory to me and not quite as delicious. 

Next, I tried a new candy, a blend of white chocolate, sprinkles, and pop rocks--Hershey's Popping Candy with sprinkles. No, I did not have a 10 pack! I just had a couple of bites. Of course, Tommy loudly refused to try the candy and then ate the rest. 

This popped in my mouth, just tiny tingles, then after I swallowed, I felt little tingles on my eardrums. When I put a bite in my mouth and missed my mouth, the candy touched my lip next to skin, and I felt another tiny tingle. Crazy candy. 

We might have done things, but this post wore me out. 

The weather has been lovely, still hot but little humidity. It looks like this might be two weeks without rain. I can live with that. Tommy said he watered but did not come in sweaty. I went to the car and got in. Usually, I have to turn on the ac to breathe. However, it was not even hot in the car. It is not the heat, but the humidity that is so horrible.

One more thing. We saw The Miracle Worker on TBS at 9 pm on Monday. Well, there is a repeat immediately following. I wanted to watch the second showing, but Tommy refused. Oh well.

This episode was about the woman being pregnant. It was hilarious and I will not spoil it for you. There was a baby shower. 

Did you or have you had Melba toast? Zwieback? 

Has the humidity relented at your place? 

Have you seen Miracle Workers?
