Does Apple own my hubby?

Oy vey.  Don't answer that...

Local lunch

Today hubby and I had lunch at Russ' restaurant, a joint frequented by west Michigan locals.  I ordered a "Reuben Soup" in a bread bowl.

Mmmmmm... tasted just like a melted Reuben sandwich.

Hubby ordered a smothered roast beef sandwich.

Oooh ooh, just look at that dark beefy gravy.

It's a nice restaurant.  Very kid friendly too.

These crayons are clearly ready for some Dutch Dancing.

Evolution of a bird feeder

As many of you already know from my "flighty visitors" post, we've recently put up a bird feeder.

Here, I hung the feeder on a random nail.

Worried that our birds didn't have enough space to stand, hubby created this contraption to encourage maximum feeding:

 

The "trapeze" feeder

Then, reading somewhere that bird feeders should be about 4 feet off the ground, hubby reworked the contraption to look like this:

The "damsel tied to the railroad tracks" feeder

Are we encouraging more birds to visit our feeder?   Unsure.
Do I smile at hubby's ingenuity?  You betcha.

Two magical ingredients

Nothing tastes better than a steamy bowl of soup on a cold winter's night.

Slurp me

This chicken and potato soup was particularly yummy because of two star ingredients:

(1)  Cilantro- The tastiest herb ever

(2)  Better than Bouillon- Chicken flavoring in a jar

With temperatures dropping, I hope you all stay warm and full-bellied.

Pill no more

I'd like to introduce you to a new friend.

Moo.

This little guy eats pilling on clothes.  So sweaters like this one

(Ew.  Don't you just want to pull those suckers off?)

are transformed back to their pre-pill state

Ah.  Smooth and soft

The results are amazing. 

 What will they think of next?
