Today the surprise from my friend in California arrived. Wow! It was a load of different meats and even some dessert from a nationally known steak supplier. There's a filet mignon, a New York strip, a sole stuffed with crab and several other things. There's even a caramel apple tart or two. I don't remember all the rest by heart and feel too lazy to get up and get the list. But I was bowled over because I know how pricey these packages are.
That made the Beast think *bbq* so off he went to price and select a new one. The one he ended up buying wasn't the Webber I thought it would be but is a nice bbq/smoker one. It's probably got more than twice the surface of the Webber we had (it finally rusted out badly). This one has cast iron grilles and requires *seasoning*, which he plans on doing tomorrow. We will then use it on Friday (Thursday is his night for church). I'm slobbering over the filet...he wants to try a NY strip. We may change our minds (meaning he may change his...I won't) by Friday but now I am thinking baked potato (it has a shelf on it for things like that) and some corn. Doesn't the idea make YOU hungry?
We have a gas bbq that's amazing but propane has gone sky-high after last winter's shortage and we have two 70 gal/lb (not sure which is the measure) tanks so it would be more than what this bbq cost for us to fill even one of them. It also means no fireplace this winter. *Sigh* I will miss that.
Other than that for today, the Beast happily gathered up all the dirty clothes and spent it checking out the washer and dryer. He discovered a few things he didn't know about using the steam feature and is still fascinated by the rolling clothes in the washer without an agitator. He also found out that washing clothes in cold water results in a much longer wash cycle....also adding a second rinse. I haven't been able to use my own washer and dryer yet. LOL!
I ended up doing a lot of sleeping. I swear, putting my foot up when the leg gets too swollen automatically puts me to sleep. Of course, even in the recliner, trying to watch TV is a real chore. I will be SO glad when this swelling stops. Wish I could remember how long it lasted in the other leg but I guess I didn't file that away so my brain figured it wasn't important because it was so annoying at the time. Who knows? That is why I am up so late instead of sleeping like I should. I'm going to play my gem game because it always makes me tired. I just hope it works tonight.
Love you all. Hope you are having a good week. ***Hugs***
