    Woo hoo, I got my espresso machine back.

    The Mrs is a coffee junkie. I don't even say "Good morning, dear" in the morning unless she is holding a cup of coffee. 10 years ago, I bought a semi-commercial espresso machine and plumbed it into a filter. Darn good lattes and the Mrs doesn't go for a 40 mile drive to get her fix. A month ago, the pump went bad. While that is probably something I can fix myself, the gaskets, seals, and valves were all showing their age. The company that I bought the machine from also refurbishes them, so I sent it in to be rebuilt. Sending an 80# machine to NY was painful; but the darn thing is as good as new (and I can say good morning. again).


    I love potato salad; but ever since my cancer surgery, mayonnaise and I do not get along. It took a month of experimentation; but I finally have a potato salad recipe that I can tolerate. Low fat mayo with avocado oil combined 50/50 with sour cream seems to do the trick. Toss in some dijon mustard and you can't really tell the mayo is missing.

    My daughters showed the other kids at the park how to use a pulley to move sand around the playground. And the other moms loved it.

    Today's great day brought to you by irrefutable proof that I am, once again, not pregnant!

    ...not that there was even the slightest remote chance of that, but still! Yay!

    RECORD STORE DAY
    It was cancelled due to covid-19 but they decided to due it today.
    We won't be standing in line.
    We'll wait in our cars, text the owner when we get there and he will call us in groups.
    We go in, wearing masks, get our records and book, so the next group can come in.
    It won't be the same combat shopping but I'm looking forward to it all the same.

    'Bout to salvage this wasted Saturday with a jaunt downtown for some beer and pizza. Things looking up, perhaps.

    Milk also goes post pepper spray. Good to know for the next few months leading up to the election. Just remember some pepper sprays have a flammable propellant. So don't taser and pepper spray someone at the same time.

    Milk is one of my favorite drinks with a meal. I love dairy in general. Maybe a legacy of growing up on a farm... we always had plenty of milk. Ham sandwich on seeded Jewish rye (there's an irony there) mayo, horseradish, havarti cheese. Potato salad, pickle spears, ruffles chips... and ice cold milk. Buttered popcorn and milk. Brownies with...
    Milk or sour cream is antidotal to overly hot peppers in foods as well as pepper spray.

    Yes - Havarti Cheese! Or any cheese for that matter. The stinkier the better. Like a good Quebec bloomer such as Magie de Madawaska from Fromagerie Le Détour (in Quebec). Yum!
