I know it.
If I spent all of my time apologizing for not posting regularly, I’d be overwhelmed.
For now, I’m only going to post on Wednesday, or Thursday, to be read the following day. There isn’t enough going on here to warrant a daily post anymore. I will recap the weeks happenings, provided there are happenings.
The excitement for this week is the 3-in-1 Apple charger. I cannot tell you how fast it recharges my Apple products. It is amazing. Here is what it looks like.
I bought it on Instagram, I think. Here is a shot of the results of charging Ivan’s AirPods, from 0% to full charge in, as I recall, about 10-15 minutes.
It charges the AirPods, an Apple Watch, and an iPhone, simultaneously. The charge is just a bit slower when all three are charging, but it’s still faster than charging with a flash cable by itself.
Oh, the other thing I have to show you is my “stuff holder”. We got these awhile ago, and have cleaned our trays off considerably.
These we got on Amazon.com.mx. They go over the arm of your chair, and have Velcro on the inside of the flap that goes over the arm, which attaches to any material on your chair.
I have pens in the outside left pocket, scissors, and a couple of nail files, of course, in the outside right pocket. In the large inside pocket, you can see, obviously, a large metal clip full of 4” x 5” scratch paper, that we tear ourselves from leftover, unused printer paper.
Some of us, (ahem), have difficulty printing items, and have lots of paper that wasn’t necessary, or able to be used. Can’t let it go to waste. Actually, we let very little go to waste.
One last thing for this past week: the new fruit baskets.
We have a beautiful fruit basket that I saw on the TV show Elementary, and found on Amazon about a year ago. You’ve seen it in other photos with stuff on the counter. Here is the before, and after of the fruit basket. Get ready. It’s awesome.
Let me explain: in the top basket are limes, here called limones, lee-MO-nes. Middle basket has bananas, or PLAH-tah-nose. Bottom basket has sweet potatoes, or cah-mah-ROW-tehs, and plátano macho, the bananas that you cut up, and fry once they are very dark, or black on the outside. They are amazingly sweet.
Go to a Mexican grocery store, buy one, or two, let them ripen, peel them, cut them into 2” pieces. Fry them, on medium heat, in a bit of butter, for 2 minutes on each side, then put them on a paper towel to absorb the oil.
I like to smash them, slightly, and sprinkle each with a touch of salt on mine. Oh my gosh. Ivan likes his cut only in half, then lengthwise, into slabs, fried as above, with crema, and a touch of maple syrup.
Savory, and sweet. That’s us.
Until next week, if anything exciting happens, I’ll let you know. See you next week.
