I'm so proud of him!
Comments (16)Good for both of you! A lot of women just can't give up their authority in the kitchen, just like a lot of men think of cooking as something they shouldn't be expected to do. imo, both groups are missing a lot of fun. DH took over the grocery shopping shortly after he retired. The first few months were both exasperating and hilarious, but he's gotten to be very good at it. Of course an incentive is that if he wants 'junk food' like ice cream or potato chips, he has to buy it himself. He doesn't do a lot of cooking but he did learn to read a recipe... as long as I annotate it as to pan size and list the exact order of steps. Some time ago Suzi mentioned writing everything down that she wanted to remember. I'm trying to do that with all the kitchen details and recipes. A lot of my cooking is seasoned with a 'dash' of this or a 'glug' of that, so I'm having to measure and experiment before the recipe can be used by anyone else....See MoreI'm so proud & can't wait.
Comments (3)...and the first 3 bud sets have arrived! =) All 3 of my Cherry Tomato plants have a wee bud set...yay! I'll post pics in a few days to a week when they're a bit more easily visible....See MoreI'm so proud of myself...
Comments (23)Gina, I was thinking that the hand vac might benefit you. Sometimes you just need some suction above the floor (I'm baiting EJ)... the hand vac would be a perfect supplement to that stick vac since the stick vac doesn't have a hose. Nice also that you can swap the batteries out if one were to die in the middle of a job. Those batteries are supposed to last a good long time though. David, try putting the fried chicken or bacon in the pantry instead of the 'fridge and discovering them a week later! And I was only 24 when I pulled those stunts! Here's a pic of the hand vac since it wasn't in the other picture. It looks good too! Lee, I wouldn't be doing my job if I didn't comment on your stick vac! (Your observations are spot on though... decent on bare floors, but not so good on carpet) It was recalled about a year ago! There was a case where the battery exploded in a ladies hand and caused severe injury. The batter is in the handle of the part where you hold it if take it out of the stick "shell" and use it as a hand vac. If you only use it as a stick vac, you should be far enough away if it were to explode. I just wouldn't want anything to happen to you, dear sweet Lee (that's my middle name, by the way :o) Lee, I'm linking to a story about the recall that has model numbers so you can check and see if yours is one of those affected by the recall. Fair warning though, there's a picture of the lady's hand at the bottom and it's graphic. Here is a link that might be useful: Electrolux recall......See MoreI'm so proud of my daughter!
Comments (3)What a happy time for your family as your daughters bloom! After years of raising our kids, it's so fulfilling to see their hopes and dreams fulfilled. It's a reflection of your parenting and hard work on everyone's part. Congratulations....See More
