Two

They say that bad things happen in threes. Maybe good things happen in threes too but I have never paid attention to that. The negative seems to get and hold our attention more than the good things. Bad thing #1: the element in the oven burnt out. Bad thing #2: My central vacuum decided to quit working today. I already have it at the vacuum hospital and the vacuum doctor phoned but I was still out running errands one of which was to get a new element for the oven. It is fixed. The Swanson Pot Pies are cooking away right now. Yup, I knocked myself out with that meal. I call it widow food. Widow food is anything quick and easy and that you can cook in the right amount so that their are no leftovers. Toast qualifies and is a major staple. I came up with a new yummy idea at the grocery store. I have been having problems motivating myself to eat fruit. I bring it home and forget it is there and it goes to rot. I just threw out five pears that I had forgot were living in my fridge. Today I bought one of those lovely fruit platters that you usually get if you are entertaining, the kind with the delusions dip. Oh, yum. I am eating that as I wait for the pot pies to cook. Hmmm...I have somehow got off topic. I went from bad things to fruit. Back to the bad things. I wonder what is going to break next. I hope it is not any badder than #1 and #2. yum...that is good cheese... JalapeƱo Havarti...and some olives and Stone Wheat Thins. I have moved on from the fruit. This is what happens people when you munch and blog at the same time.

That all sounds quite yummy. Well except for the pie. I have not had a Swanson pie or TV dinner in years. don't remember them as being very good. Maybe they have improved since then. I may have to try them again. I like the fruit platter idea because I do the same thing with most of my produce and any leftovers. Unless I remember to feed it to my grandkids. :)but I'll bet they would enjoy a fruit platter too.

The trouble I have with fruit (yes, I know your blog was not about fruit but I don't care) is that I don't like it cold. I have tried keeping it in a fruit bowl like I've seen on television and in other people's homes, but it always spoils faster than I like so I keep it in the fridge. Oh...I digress. What I was saying is what I hate about fruit and that is that I always forget to take it out to come to room temperature so I can eat it. It's tough being me sometimes. LOL.
Love silly little pot pies, especially if you let the crust over brown a little.
Glad you got your element fixed. I wouldn't want to see you out of your element! haha.
Central vacuuming would be nice. My aunt had that.

Was Lybie rude? I didn't notice. Probably because I don't know any Lybies.

Those TV dinners have improved lots! I feed them to Luc sometimes when he comes over and I'm making something particularly un-kid friendly.

Uh... You can't count toast as widow food, because it was always a staple.

Also, who doesn't like their fruit cold? Sheila, I've said it before, and I'm sure I'll say it again, but you, dearest one, are a weirdo.

I eat like that, too. Glad to have a name for it. Widow food sounds so much better than pathetic. ROFL Haven't had pot pies for awhile. Have to add that to my shopping list.

There's a valid reason for that, Little Miss Becky. I used to have buck teeth. They seriously stuck out and they became very sensitive to cold. So sensitive, in fact, that when I was in marching band I had to play the cymbols instead of my clarinet if it was cold outside. My teeth have never lost that sensitivity to cold. I even use
Sensodyne and it helps but I just can't bit into cold fruit. I even warm up my grapes and strawberries by running them under warm water.
I'm also allergic to the cold so I eat ice cream very seldom because it breaks my throat out in hives, which itch like mad and cause me to cough.
Just saying.

Wow...really? haha
