It starts already!

August 31, 2008

You know it is starting already. Now as of right now I am not working (childcare) anymore. Its been a whole two flipping weeks and my hubby is already making comments about it just being his income now! I was looking at the ads today from the Sunday paper and seen some Paula Deen cookware and I need new pans. It’s only been two years yes since I got my last set but the are all scratched to heck and food is sticking which makes it a huge pain in the butt when I am cooking dinner. (Keep in mind he cooks every Sunday plus the kids have banged them up too) I got the one pan from QVC on clearance of a Paula Deen cookware piece (I posted about it a few weeks ago) and I absolutely love it, so of course I love to have a whole set, I mean cooking is a passion for me and if my food sticks, or burns I am not happy with it you know? Sometimes the food even tastes different. Well he said to my son (or maybe it was me, we were both sitting at the table) and said “you don’t ever see me looking at ad’s going oooo look at that” Well you know what kiss it baby, kiss it! He just frustrates me to no end!!! I just happen to say I liked it, a whole set on sale and the price is great too, is all. Sure I love to have a new set of pans, I mean its what I do best, in the kitchen. But thats ok I will continue to use the same scratched up crappy pans no big deal, but don’t complain if it doesn’t taste as good as usual!!

The worst luck with coffee pots!

August 31, 2008

I just seem to have the worst luck with coffee pots in this house. I don’t know if its because it’s not a commercial one and I use it more than the average home or what. For example not only do we make one pot of coffee (some times two) a day, but I also brew tea for Iced Tea in it, and that is another almost daily use. I don’t see the sense in purchasing a Iced Tea maker when a coffee pot can do the same thing. But the burner is constantly getting scratched to hell and then my pot sticks. I think it’s my dad to tell you the truth because of his arthritis and being its heavy for him? I don’t know. So I been looking at capresso coffee makers and wondering should I invest the money now or no? My coffee pot I have now was a limited edition one and its sort of a retro look and I absolutely love it, it even has a back light at night. My hubby gets really funky when I have to replace things and he doesn’t understand I think the coffee pot gets a lot of wear and tear out of it with the extra brewing of Teas. If it didn’t get scratched up then I wouldn’t need to replace it. I don’t know what else to do! Either they leak or the burner gives out! Sometimes going the cheaper route isn’t always what is best, you get what you pay for. BUT (that dreaded but) with my dad’s arthritis, do we really want to spend that kind of money? I wish they could make a burner that is scratch resistant!!

Who wants to go with me?

August 31, 2008

Who wants to get the heck away from the every day stresses of life? If I could find a emoticon that was huge with it raising its hand and waving and saying “over here, over here”, I post it right now in this post. My hubby, well we were discussing taking a cruise, like where we would want to go, of course he doesn’t want to take any Mediterranean cruises, which is what I would like to take because its always been a dream of mine to go to Italy. He refuses to fly, and we would have to fly to the city where the ship would be deporting from and he just won’t even consider it, later on in life! Well news flash, I am so going to visit Italy one day so who wants to go with me? Ever since 9-11 happened my hubby just refuses to even consider things and you know, in my opinion that makes the terrorists the winners and that just erks me!
