I'm trying to color code a new customer in a web display for the help desk I support, and I can't decide on which shade of medium green to use. I already have two blue green variants and a pine green, and the table display uses two alternating background colors to isolate each row so I can't use colors that are too light.
The cable remote wouldn't pair with my new 65" 4k TV and I didn't want to have to use the TV remote to turn it on all the time and have to have two remotes out all the time, so I made the cable company send me a new one.
Today I bought spring rolls for dinner but when I got them home, I realized that they didn't come with wasabi. I have wasabi at my house but I would have to actually mix it up and you know - almost cook something. That's too close for comfort, so I just used some other sort of Asian sauce I had instead. It was OK but wasabi would have made it better. Sigh.
Actually, I am going to cook something tonight - I'm taking a break in between cooking spurts right now. It's about to kill me. Here's what I thought I would do for Easter:
First I thought I would make homemade ice cream for the kids. Fun fun fun, right? I had an old fashioned rotary ice cream maker (electric - I'm not a masochist) that I've had for a long time - still in the box. So I got it out last night and read the instructions. What the heck? Rock salt? Ice? Bring egg yolks to nearly a boil? What is all this foolishness?
So...I got online and found all sorts of homemade ice cream recipes - and they all seemed to point to a sort of new ice cream maker style - and the recipes seemed a lot easier. So forget this old ice cream maker - I went and bought a new one today. BUT I HAVE TO LET THE BOWL FREEZE FOR 24 HOURS. WHAT THE HECK. So anyway, it's freezing but it won't have 24 hours of freeze on it by the time we're ready for it so who knows what will happen.
This became so time consuming and stressful to me that I nearly caved and just bought some damn ice cream.
^ I had one of those ice cream makers. And now there's one that you just pour your mix in and it freezes as it churns. I want that one.
This is even easier than the new one I just bought! Now I'm unhappy with the one I have but if I buy another one, then I will have THREE ice cream makers and I'm probably only going to make ice cream about once a year.
If that.
Get this - today I got in my car and drove about half way to my parents' house before I remembered that I had forgotten the damn ice cream. So I had to drive back home and get it. I swear, this whole ice cream thing has been just one huge fiasco.
