Friday Roundup 13

It’s been a long, busy, stressful week. Hope y’all are doing ok. Here’s this weeks offering. Enjoy

  • This is the week that 2 of my 4 kitchen appliances decided to give me the middle finger. The fridge is not cooling properly and I’m going to try to diagnose and fix it myself before calling out a repair person. If I’m lucky it’s something simple. My dishwasher, on the other hand, has been teetering on the edge for a while now and I think it finally cried “no mas!” I’ve ordered a replacement that will be installed on Monday. This is how you know you’re truly an adult; you’re excited for a new dishwasher: KitchenAid FreeFlex 3rd Rack dishwasher.
  • And while I’m on the topic, I ordered the dishwasher direct from KitchenAid and got 5% cash back via Rakuten. If you do a lot of shopping online and haven’t joined Rakuten, you’re missing out. I joined in 2019 and have earned over $200 in cash back and that’s with just casual use. I could have maximized it and earned a lot more. If you want to join, here’s a Rakuten referral link (use this link to join and spend $30 at an affiliated store and we both get $30 back).
  • This Serious Eats Lamb Biryani is on the menu for this coming weekend. It’s a 2 day process to make, so I always double the recipe, but it’s very much worth it. It’s Zach’s all time favorite.
  • I ordered 3 of these Show-Off Forsythia for the new bed I’m digging in at the end of the driveway. I can’t wait until they get here!
  • I’m continuing to find ways to support Ukraine – both those fleeing and those staying. This week I donated to World Central Kitchen, founded and run by Chef José Andrés.

Now I’m off to fire up the grill and make pizza and enjoy a warm spring evening on the patio. Have a great weekend, y’all.

Friday Five #2

It’s been typical late spring weather here in the Atlanta area, which is to say that it’s been unpredictable and all over the place. Highs in the 80s, lows in the 40s, some rain, some sun, and everything in between. However the garden at the […]
