Me too on #4 logic, Ed and I live this every day ;) Good fruitcake, yum! and Vehicles for dip, very true. I usually do cucumbers with french onion, but I'd settle for a good carrot stick to get it to my mouth. My favorites are "Hello???" (I want to add an exclamation mark) and "If you leave them behind, you're never going to see them again." I'll have to use that in other ways of life. Here's a good cookie recipe to get your holiday eating started: Christmas Cookie Recipe 1 cup of water 1 tsp baking soda 1 cup of sugar 1 tsp salt 1 cup brown sugar lemon juice 4 large eggs 1 cup nuts 2 cups dried fruit 1 bottle Crown Royal Sample the Crown Royal to check quality. Take a large bowl, check the Crown Royal again, to be sure it is of the highest quality, pour one level cup and drink. Turn on the electric mixer...Beat one cup of butter in a large fluffy bowl. Add one teaspoon of sugar...Beat again. At this point it's best to make sure the Crown Royal is still OK, try another cup.. just in case. Turn off the mixer thingy. Break 2 leggs and add to the bowl and chuck in the cup of dried fruit. Pick the frigging fruit off floor... Mix on the turner. If the fried druit gets stuck in the beaterers just pry it loose with a dewscriver. Sample the Crown Royal to check for tonsisticity. Next, sift two cups of salt, or something.... who giveshz a sheet. Check the Crown Royal. Now s hift the lemon juice and strain your nuts. Add one table. Add a spoon of ar, or somefink.... whatever you can find. Greash the oven. Turn the cake tin 360 degrees and try not to fall over. Don't forget to beat off the turner. Finally, throw the bowl through the window. Finish the bottle of Crown Royal. Make sure to put the stove in the dishwas her. Cherry Mistmas!

Finally! Last night I smeared a combination of hot vinegar (microwaved 2 minutes and an equal amount of blue Dawn. I had used it last year (guest bath only used once a year). I followed the directions, just let it sit and the bottom of the tub looked great. It did not budge the insane soap scum on the side of the tub. The tub was only used during Christmas vacation by our adult daughter who never cleaned. I was in panic mode tonight and saw someone above mention Awesome Cleaner from the Dollar Tree. I put a little water in the tub to wet the vinegar/dawn mixture from last night, swished my scrubber pad in it to wet it. Poured Awesome powder on it and thanked God because it worked! I could not believe it worked and was in panic mode because my daughter is bringing her boyfriend in town with her! Now if I could just get the rest of the house presentable!

I just got a new ruvati stainless steel sink in a 60/40 split. It took me forever to decide because I felt I had to get a large single bowl. I finally chose what I felt I would like the most and I love it. I've had it three weeks and am so happy with it. I have two friends that each redid their kitchens and got single bowls and regret it so not everyone dislikes the double bowl sink. I'd never want a 50-50 double but the 60-40 meets.all my needs.

I have a GE electric range, not induction, installed in July of 2019. It came with a trial bottle of Weiman cleaner. I spray with a diluted solution of Dawn every time I use the stove, which helps. I then clean with the cleaner and a paper towel. I have had to use a razor blade once, but as Nekotish said, it does not get rid of the haze. It took me several times with the cleaner to get rid of that. I will be buying the stronger to have on hand. Cooking Christmas dinner did it to me, I DID NOT want a smooth top. I had had coil all my life and there are advantages to coil, but you can no longer buy quality coil stoves and the parts were not available for my old stove. Gas is not available and I did not want it. Induction would of meant rewiring the kitchen and throwing away all the pans I like. I have reached acceptance with the constant cleaning of a smooth top. It is now like wiping the counter and running the dishwasher, lol. I have learned to NEVER cook without cleaning the top.
