Chairs, etc

December 22nd, 2014 at 04:28 am

This afternoon I stopped by the Goodwill store that is almost directly across the street from me ... I was looking for a bundt cake pan to make the Rum cake in for Christmas dinner.

They had one for $2! It was the kind without a removable bottom - which a lady there told me was better than one with a removable bottom.

When I got home, NE was waiting for me. We headed out to another Goodwill - a larger one with furniture and more household goods. While there I saw a couch that I really liked for $40 - but it would need a lot of cleaning (I didn't buy it. I'm not sure what material it was made of, nor how difficult it would be to clean it.) I also found two chairs for my dining room table - $6 each. I'll take pictures of them later.

NE bought a bundt cake pan with a removable bottom and a can opener. (Hee decided we'll make two cakes ... and see which one turns out better. One with rum in the cake mix and one with it only in the frosting/sauce.)

Then we headed over to SuperSaver. The rum cost $15!!!!! It was the smallest bottle they had, but will be enough for four rum cakes ... Our total came out to $41.80 (we both got some other stuff too besides stuff for the dinner.) He gave me $20 cash (I paid with my card.)

I stopped at Russ's and picked up a bottle of soda for NE that was on sale so that I could get quarters for laundry. The lady could only give me three quarters though because they had forgotten to buy change?? Luckily with the two I had, and the 4 NE had, we had enough to wash and dry a load.

It sounds like NE might have made another Craigslist sale! He's happy because eBay has kind of been dead for a few weeks on sales.

The last two days I've made a lot of SBs from the videos on the website alone. Somewhere close to 450!! I'm not complaining Big Grin I just need 300 more for my 5 $5 AGCs in January.

I saw this neat video on FB showing all the different things you can do with a waffle maker besides just waffles. The two that caught my interest the most was making a brownie waffle (using brownie batter) and making an omelet. Kind of tempts me to get a waffle maker ... though I kind of doubt I'd really use it. Smile Although maybe I would ... esp for making omelets ... probably taste a whole lot better than my usual microwave "omelet" concoction. Smile

    BF makes awesome omelets, so fluffy and light. He says the key is to add cold water to the raw egg, and to always have the pan hot before you put the raw egg mix in.

    I saw that video today, too! I am totally making the omelet tomorrow.

    I went two years without using my waffle maker, but recently started making them once in awhile. I will be interested to hear about how the omelet works. I once made cinnamon rolls in a waffle maker, which worked just fine.

    I would check your goodwill stores before buying a waffle maker retail....they might get them after the holidays since folks buy appliances for those holiday get togethers and then get tired of storing them.

    I'm interested in how the omelette turns out too! Oh I wouldn't pay retail, esp when I don't know if I'd actually USE it. Smile
