We went to DS's new flat yesterday. The internet installer showed up on time and was lovely, so DH tipped him a tenner. We then spent hours assembling an Ikea bookcase and a coffee table I ordered from Etsy. The instructions were awful for both, especially the coffee table. I told DH I would no longer buy flat-pack furniture. It's just too much work, and Dh would rather pay for delivery and assembly from a proper furniture store.
@MumtobabyhavocSince you brought up eggs, below is my Jarlsberg, cheddar, and bacon omelet this morning, with a copiously buttered English Muffin and some Green Mountain Gringo mild salsa on the side.
The pan is a brand-new All-Clad HA1 Expert, part of a 10-piece non-stick set we got for free. DH ordered a set of this cookware for DS from a posh housewares seller, William Sonoma, in early November, and it kept showing as "preparing to ship" for weeks. He called and called, and they had plenty in stock, and no one could explain why it wasn't shipping. Finally, he reached a supervisor on the phone, who placed a new order for him. She couldn't do anything to the first order as their system doesn't allow any changes to an order that is preparing to ship. The new order went out a few days later, and we received it without a hitch. Then, about a week later, the original order miraculously shipped, and we kept it. So we got a $500 cookware set for free. DH, who does most of the cooking, was thrilled. I think he was a bit jealous of DS having a much nicer set than we do.
The Christmas tree is up, and it looks like we have 5-6 inches of snow. They were predicting 1-3 inches. The birds are mobbing the feeder. If you look closely at the picture, there are three at the bottom feeding, and another at the top, waiting for a place to open up.
