Ok so here's the deal - the hubby and I are in "spring cleaning" mode - yup we are aware that is is only January but considering it has only snowed twice this winter so far it really does feel more like Spring! We sorted documents - moved things to the basement that had been collecting dust in random corners upstairs and I performed a transplant on both of our Roombas.
The little guy on the main floor turns on at 9am every morning and cleans up the mess from the previous day. The mess generally consists of cheerios, puffs and cookie crumbs. The number of cheerios varies daily and is affected by two things 1 - whether or not the Little Diva was able to thwart her "non-spill bowl" the day before and 2 - whether or not Mr. Kitty was in the mood for Cheerios.
The Roomba downstairs recently began making a strange clicking noise. I'm going to go ahead and call it the Roomba equivalent of hiccups. He sounded quite distressed - whirring around, sucking and clicking. The hubby did some research online and turns out the poor guy is a tad sick - the kind of sick that requires replacement parts. The kind of sick that isn't immediately remedied!
We really enjoy not having to sweep daily and I therefore performed the delicate surgery. We now have a healthy Roomba on the main-floor while his buddy relaxes upstairs. We couldn't risk being ankle deep in cheerios by the end of the week.... Plus the little Diva was SUPER entertained to see the Roomba up and running again after several days of having to watch Mommy or Daddy sweep... guess we're just not as entertaining?
Anywho so yes - busy busy busy! I didn't do any new and exciting cooking today. Breakfast consisted of raisin bran (step 1 - add bran to bowl, step 2 - add desired amount of milk, Step 3 - consume! This better count as a recipe :D), lunch was a delish Chicken Sandwich and Supper consisted of fish, veggies and rice... All in all though it was a VERY productive day and although there are still a few things to sort out - I am confident we will be done before Spring!
Night night to all - seriously though - any recipe suggestions??

Dear Anonymous :D
ReplyDeleteDo you mean pancakes - as in South African pancakes ie crepes? or do you mean flapjacks/griddle cakes? I have awesome recipes for both of them and would LOVE the excuse to make and photograph either!
