Thu Jan 21 2021

L - leftover Indian and last of the chana masala

D - on your own = B cereal A yogurt I think J yogurt


We had new water heater installed.  Saw this water in front porch this am.
Then saw how unprofessionally they had done the plugging in. Cord caught in the faucet handle!
And this tub had about 2 inches of water in it too.
Boy, the companies really see us coming!  We so often end up paying the most and having sucky work they expect up to live with. So unprofessional looking, and disappointing to say the least.
I didn't even notice the extra PVC pipe snaking around the bottom of the area now too. Very disappointed. I didn't take a photo of how they left the old vent hanging out for someone else to deal with to make it more flush with the wall. If I could get them to disinstall I would go with a different company.

My New Way to Cut Avocado
Usually take the knife at this point and try to pull the seed out....  Wait.....

Keep the fruit together and make another cut.  The seed pretty much falls out.


Easy to use a spoon now to remove the flesh - or of course could slice with knife to what every size you want and then remove it from the skin.  I think at least sometimes you can then pull the skin back and have the flesh pop out.

* I saw this on a YouTube of a guy cooking something else.  He was a chef working in an empty kitchen.  I didn't subscribe to his channel and can't remember his name.  During his taping he cut his hand or finger and wrapped a towel around it.  As he spoke for the rest of the show one could see the blood spreading out on the towel.
