Silliness So what are you doing RIGHT NOW? - Page 2731

I got a waterbed frame (Craigslist, but not cheap) because I adored the headboard. I like the drawers but I also use the whole frame, for my Comforaire Air mattress ( similar to Sleep Number).

However, I also have a captains bed under a twin mattress in my spare room.

Right now, I'm relaxing after spending hours cleaning under our bed. I bought an Echo Dot in the Prime Day event and went to set it up in the bedroom. That meant running the wire to the extension block under the bed. Good God! The dust and the rubbish under there, I'm ashamed! Just horrible; so I spent a couple of hours throwing stuff away and vacuuming etc.. Then, of course, I had to dust and vacuum the rest of the room and so on.

Will you marry me?

I think Mrs B might not be happy with that!

I'd like to get two captains beds for me and hubby. We have no dressers because we sold them in Raleigh.

I've just settled in at my friends' place. I've unpacked most of my stuff, figured out the new tv/tuner set up and linked up my Chromecast. I'm now waiting for dinner to arrive. It's a tradition that the first night I order something to eat.

When I was walking the dog I saw someone cycle/walk (?) by on a Lopifit, which is basically a kinda treadmill powered bicycle. I've never seen one before, and when I saw it my mind took a couple of seconds to make sense of it. But I think it's a very cool mode of transportation.

That is cool.

My friends have gotten a new microwave over, and I'm now figuring out how it works so I can make a pizza tonight.

Microwaved pizza?

Nooooooooooo

Maybe you get better ones there; I've never found a microwaveable pizza here that was OK.

A typo, it's a microwave oven, so both. And yes, I did use the oven.

A class mate who lived in the same dorm did prefer to microwave her pizza, because it was quicker than preparing it in yhe oven. Her father is Italian and I don't think she would admitted it to her Italian family. We spend 5 weeks with her aunt in Sicily for teacher placement, and I learned that they consider a frozen pizza to be something to add fresh ingredients to.

Well, that's a relief.

I hope you enjoyed it.

Over here, it's called a microwave oven, but is ONLY microwaves. It has no other oven functionalities. Are you saying this does both microwaving, and old-fashioned oven cooking? Cool!

There are separate microwaves and ovens, but a lot of people have, what we call, a combi(nation) microwave, which does both and the more expensive ones can come with a grill. The drawback is that they are smaller than a regular oven.

Oh Deb. Check this out.
https://www.amazon.com/Cuisinart-CMW.../dp/B001C2J0FG

They are available in the states. Apologizing to your wallet and countertop in advance.

Hey, cool! I could rip out my large stove/oven and put in a butcher block rolling cart for my Instant Pot and all its gear!
But since I just had to replace the stove in 2015, I probably won't do that. It sounds like a very modern idea, but it's awkward to leave a hole in the kitchen if you ever move.
It's tempting tho ..... I've got "rearrange cupboards" on my ToDo list, because the Instant Pot's gear is taking up a whole countertop.

All you need is a nice file cabinet for your Instant Pot gear. My problem is slicers and dicers and choppers. Oh and 8345 small appliances. If I hadn't got both my microwave and small oven cheaper than that one I linked I would get it myself.
