Life\u2019s Little Quirks<\/p>\n
Yes, indeed.\u00a0 Life certainly can be interesting.\u00a0 For instance, From time to time, I like to have a little container of Vanilla yogurt.\u00a0 We\u2019ll pick it up on Saturday morning while doing the week\u2019s grocery shopping and immediately put it away in a particular drawer in the fridge.\u00a0 Then, during the week, I can pull one out of the drawer and enjoy it.<\/p>\n
Imagine my surprise when it sure tasted like coffee! Apparently, the Vanilla and Coffee yogurt are right next to each other and their labels are not very different.\u00a0 You need to be very vigilant to get the right selection.<\/p>\n
A similar thing happened with the white grape juice.\u00a0 We get the kind that is in a big, glass jug.\u00a0 One day I poured some in a glass and tasted it.\u00a0 It smelled like peach.\u00a0 It tasted like peach, yet, my husband swore he\u2019d picked up white grape juice.<\/p>\n
Upon closer scrutiny of the label, the peach\/grape juice was distinguished from the white grape juice by a very small picture of a peach nestled in among the picture of a bunch of grapes.<\/p>\n
Well, I shouldn\u2019t really pick on you sighted folks like that.\u00a0 I\u2019ve had my interesting moments, too. One Thanksgiving, I was thickening the turkey gravy with cornstarch.\u00a0 It didn\u2019t want to thicken, so I added more, then even more, as the\u00a0\u00a0 drippings kept on boiling.\u00a0 Finally, in exasperation, I tasted it.\u00a0 I\u2019d been using Confectioner\u2019s Sugar, not cornstarch!<\/p>\n
Just the other day, I wanted to clean the upper oven (Our lower oven is self-cleaning, if you remember to turn it on.).\u00a0 I sprayed the oven with the foam and left it to dissolve the crud into gunk.\u00a0 Usually it takes a second spraying, so I left the can on the counter.\u00a0 I had to do it several times, but the stuff didn\u2019t seem to be working.<\/p>\n
When my husband came home, he asked why the Woolite Rug Cleaner can was on the counter!<\/p>\n
Oh, dear Gussie, then the was the time…well, I\u2019m sure you\u2019ve had your share of life\u2019s interesting little quirks, too.<\/p>\n
Give me a call.\u00a0 Let\u2019s chat.<\/p>\n
