First Floor Today
Tidy, tidy for a bit today on the first floor.
Dennis volunteered to peel cucumber for our favorite cucumber and onion creamy dish. When he volunteers I stay out of his way as I would not want be the factor that he doesn’t volunteer again. I had thinly sliced the onion ahead of time. The last of a mayo jar had also been taken care of. Nothing worse than sicky goopy knuckles as the scrapper is swirled around in the inside for the very last bit. A new jar had been opened just in case more was needed. We now have a bowl chilling in the refrigerator of tasty cucumbers comingling with the onions.
A while back when I went grocery shopping, most of the refrigerated containers were empty. A condenser or some such had gone out and most of the refrigerated items were in the back. There were signs everywhere to ask for help. Which . . . I did. I wanted two packages of all beef hotdogs.
Out from the back came a flustered meat department person. He had two packages of beef hotdogs . . . would they be ok? I didn’t comment, I thanked him for his troubles and in the cart they went.
One package I wanted to use when Megan and Nicholas had come for a Sunday. The other package went into the freezer. A little extra on hand never hurts.
Today I took out the second package of hotdogs for our picnic type of supper. Actually looking at the package . . . I never knew these beef hotdogs even existed. Quarter pound each! It was a Schweigert’s brand. I took two out and put the remaining two back in the freezer. When thawed I cut each one lengthwise. I am looking forward to putting a half in a hotdog bun. I will give each a char in the frying pan. Bring on the picnic. Live and learn.
With that I will take my leave. ♥
