I decided to buy some planner stickers for my card planner. I don’t have stickers for all the holidays, those have gone into my book-like planners over the year… and so I found 4 sheets of stickers, mostly minis, on Etsy. less than $15 total.
I am REALLY glad I glanced at the total before I confirmed the order… $82.01 for shipping. OMG! Really? I cancelled the order.
The complaint is that some jerk somewhere thinks I will actually pay that? C’mon people be sane! Even if it ships from overseas, it seems excessive.
I’ve used mine to at least -5. I know it has snowed while it was cooking, but I haven’t put it in a snow pile to cook. I would, but I haven’t so far. I store it indoors.
I messed up the mashed potatoes. I told my neighbor that I would make her a whole batch of mashed potatoes, because they are better than the pre-made Costco ones she always buys for thanksgiving. Except the potato gods were not with me today and even though I’ve made mashed potatoes at least 100 times, today I made a bowl of glue.
Unfortunately I think it was my method of cooking them, they never even had a chance. To save time I decided to cook them whole in the instant pot instead of what I normally do which is boiling them cubed…and didn’t realize how gummy the texture would be from the pressure cooker! They basically glued up immediately, and no amount of cream/butter changed anything. I am attempting to salvage it by making a “baked potato casserole” topped with cheese, lol.
We had decided to just spend the $ and replace my 40 yo Bosch universal food processor/blender, etc. We’d bought a juicing attachment for it years ago, and that was the only function it had that the new one won’t.
Because of the row of carrots atop my cutting board and that fact, I decided to juice the extras, freeze the pulp, and then I’d have a reasonable amount of carrots to store in the fridge.
Set up the juicer. Didn’t get it exactly right and it ate the component that joins the pieces to the food processor. Old plastic, gone. So, I will juice the carrots in the blender instead of the food processor and the pieces for the Bosch are going to auction, or maybe the dump? Dunno. We had bought a 2nd one for parts (no juicer) years ago at a consignment store, so we have multiples of the more common pieces. Two bins worth and maybe more?
Yesterday, I found the perfect baskets for what I have in mind. Today, they’re unavailable, out of stock, probably forever.
I have decided that I want to put 1 or more basket in each major living area here: one for things in the room which need to go elsewhere and the 2nd for things in the room which. have no home. I found the perfect 12" bike baskets. I can strap them together to make a round, etc. They were on sale < $5.
I am ready to place the order … they’re no longer available.
I mean, here it’s legal for them to operate in public places like a parking lot.
As far as I know, Lowe’s is not letting them stage there the way Home Depot and Target are.
Actually I would have to look and see if they were even in the lot because from one video it looks like they were outside it grabbing the day laborers who hang out near the store looking for work.
