Burned Eggs

Continuing from Monday...

Monday, I had a coupon for a free Mayfield Product.  I chose Extreme Moosetracks at $6.29. If you don't know, this is ice cream with chunks of gooey chocolate throughout. In order to make it a more healthy treat, I sliced a banana over it in the bowl.  I try!

Tommy hasn't cleaned the sink in last two weeks or so. I tried to get him to clean it last week, but he had excuses...lol. You know how it should and could gleam. Well, he did not wash off the Barkeeper's Friend and the faucet and handle looked gross. I showed him so he can do it right next time. Plus, he denies he did whatever. 

Tuesday, as soon as I posted, Tommy went in and did a magnificent job scouring the stainless steel sink. The faucet and handle are mirrors. He went in and showed me how he lifted up the coffeepot and another thing and cleaned under them. He explained that he used a dishcloth to get the powder off the sink and faucet. Great! He is so funny like this. 

He also took my a load to the washing machine. That means I have things to hang and things to fold. ugh!

After we went on Tuesday to pick up his meds at the pharmacy window, I got the ice cream and wanted to look for wood. I found some where a guy is adding a room or porch to his house. I only got four very short pieces, enough to make three birds since it is 2x6 instead of 2x4. I will go back another day since it is only about 4 blocks from here. 

I have four heads of cabbage that were a good price. I really need to use them up. I think I might make cabbage soup. That means I need to get the carrots in the crockpot since they take the longest to cook. I may take a nap and put the potatoes in later, then the chopped cabbage.  But, I took a nap.

When I awoke four hours later, I smelled something. I had left six eggs in a pot to boil. Well, those are in the trash. Tommy did not notice eggs boiling for four whole hours! I have more eggs, but I sure hate to lose food!

Wednesday

Today, I am going to show him how to polish silver...lol. His parents used silverplate for everyday. I found a silverchest he didn't know was there. The silverplate needs polishing. lolol

Okay, it is Wednesday, and I have five more eggs boiling. Januuary 6, I bought four dozen jumbo eggs for fifty cents each dozen. I five in a pot boiling and another three in the carton. I wish I had bought more. These stand up in a bowl of water, so they need to be eaten. After breakfast of two eggs, I will use the other two eggs for egg salad or just to eat. 

So, I ate 5.5 dozen eggs in eleven weeks.  I think I dropped some, burned those on Tuesday and lost a boiled one for so long I threw it out.  That probably makes 4.5 dozen in eleven weeks. 

Since I sent back the elliptical machine and the pedal machine, I have no way of getting exercise. Walking the hall and kitchen is good, but I can only last three minutes. Today, I decided to try something new. My friend was prescribed and exercise before her knee surgery. I decided to try it. It is a killer. I sit on Tommy's walker and "march." I didn't last long and my thighs were burning. But, I will try to do a bit more each day. 

It is not yet 10 am and I am exhausted and want a freshly boiled egg. For the last four days, I have lost one pound each day. The main thing I have done is not to eat much after dinner. Okay, that egg was delicious with a smidgen of butter melting on top.

Finally, just now, I got an appointment for Tommy and I to get a covid vaccine. I think. Then, I had to cancel eye doctor. I have an appointment to check eyes and another at the same time for a medical eye exam because of something on edge of eye. This is the thing the doctor said was a sty, but who knows? It just became very hard. So, I will solve this mystery.

It is another beautiful day and warm...70F. 

One time, I put eggs on to boil in a Corningware pot. I lay down to watch TV and woke about 2 am. I went to bed and awoke the next morning to eggs on the ceiling and all over the walls! When I replace the vent hood years later, there were still bits of eggs in it even though I cleaned it. 

Have you ever boiled eggs so long they exploded? 

Less Pain; More Strawberries and a Gas Card

This morning I awoke at 9:50, ten minutes before I told Tommy to wake me and almost 8 hour after I went to sleep. We both were engrossed in TV last night, so we were up way too late. Well, it is too late for him.

Finally, at 11:30 am, I had breakfast--peanut butter, Miracle Whip, banana sandwich, and milk. Tommy turned on a movie and I had to see the rest of it. We were both dressed to go grocery shopping, but we watched the movie until 1:30 pm or so. Naturally, the day got away from us. Born Yesterday with Judy Holliday, Broderick Crawford, and William Holden was too good to resist, especially since I saw the first 30 minutes.

I have been talking about a gas card for the last few weeks. I called Publix to see how it works. Then, I went there with a list of things I need to get the grocery receipt up to $50 needed to get $10 off the gas card.

Dasani water  b2g1 got 6
Coke Caffeine Free b2g1 got 3
bananas
halos with coupon
celery
red grapes
Granny Smith Apples
leaf lettuce
Gala apples for Tommy
3 quarts strawberries@$2 each
Dove with coupon...enough to last the rest of my life
4 cans Campbells chicken broth @ $1/can
reduced Pringles
b1g1 Cake mix, got 2
pads with $4 coupon
Ronco spaghetti
Lysol spray

2 $50 gas cards $100-$20=$80

Another store
envelopes
Manila envelopes
chips for Tommy
two small pads for lists,  27 cents apiece
two candies, IknowIknow
summerish tablecloth
red thread
two Sharpies

Then, we decided we wanted ice cream with some of the strawberries and went to another store where I bought a pint of ice cream and chips for Tommy.  The previous store had not put the chips in my bag and it is Friday night--not going back today!

And, we will not have shortcake and ice cream on the same day.

Finally, when I checked out of Publix, the amount was over $100. I asked if I could buy 2 gas cards, so someone got me another. When it was all over, it was almost $200. I did not ask him, but Tommy was fine with that being put on his card. Total--$196.55.

It will be a long time before we need water or Caffeine Free Cokes. I told Tommy I was going to make a big spend one month and buy a Berkey. He sounded distressed and asked me why???

Last night, there was no white or yellow cake mix, just chocolate. So, I did not make an Apple Dapple cake. Today, I got Chocolate Fudge Cake mix and a Spice cake mix. The spice cake will be made with apples in it. I hope the Granny Smith Apples work.

Since we got out of the house at a strange hour, neither of us was hungry. Of course, eventually we did get hungry and ate a cheap burger. This was a major fail. I told Tommy never to start a movie when we are ready to go because I might not be able to resist.

Last night, I did manage to freeze 4 pints of strawberries. Actually, none of the bags are full, but I would rather have 4 strawberry treats than 3 strawberry treats.

So, I sit here, needing to go wash the crockpot and start the taco casserole in it. It will be more like taco soup, but we love it.

The sink will not drain much at all, and he refuses to call a plumber and is uninterested in helping me with the unclogging. I can put in the baking soda and vinegar, but I need help getting a huge pot of boiling water to the sink from the stove. We will probably scald ourselves. grrr  A person cannot function without a sink that drains!

Today, I could not help bring in the groceries at all. Well, I refused to bring in anything but the ice cream and my purse. I did unlock the door. lol Well, it is hard to turn the key for me.
