Gadgets

I've always loved gadgets especially for the kitchen but any household gadget may get my attention. I also love cordless products as I hate plugging in cords especially like for vacumns that have to be plugged into each room. I bought a small cordless vacumn cleaner and have loved it for years. Now that I do not have carpets just wood and tile floors all I have to do is vacumn then mop. The trouble is after I vacumn this whole house I'm too tired to mop so on the advise of a friend I bought a cordless mop/vacumn which does both at the same time and I LOVE IT. The damn thing is almost self-propelled. When I use it I only have to vacumn the house and it gets mopped at the same time (no having to push an extra button) , then when I park it, the machine self cleans. Did I mention I love this machine? It was more money than I like to spend but well worth it.

Mom did not get to see Dad like I wrote in the last blog because the day of the visit she got a call that covid struct the facility and she could not go. However she was able to see him yesterday, finally. Then she cried all afternoon because he is so frail and gaunt.

As much as I love to cook I'm having a hard time coming up with recipes to feed four or five people, guess I've been single too long. One thing I want to make because I've never had it is Borscht. I have the ingredients on grocery lists, the main one being beets and because Mom loves beets (me too) I want to make this dish, I believe it is a Ukranian dish, just guessing though.

The problem with cooking for three households is everyone tastes is so different. My bro and I like super hot and spicy, Mom's a pansy that can't handle much spice and one can't eat any of the bell peppers. This really makes it a challenge and no matter what I do, someone misses out.
