Do you know these tiresome people who by noon manage to clean the entire house, wash the bathrooms and do the laundry while their clean, well-fed baby sleeps placidly in the crib dressed in an immaculately white outfit?
Turns out N is such a person. It also turns out I’m definitely not.

I know! At least you’re not the one using Klara’s nap time to do household chores! :-p

CHRISTMAS LIST REMINDER:
Hey, Clarissa, off topic but relevant: If you want to emulate N’s skills in another household area that you claim as your own (rapid, delicious cooking with no clean-up mess), get him to buy you an original George Foreman grill.
I’m referring to the twenty-year-old version with no silly and unnecessary digital controls on it — the model that heats to a single temperature, and that you turn on simply by plugging in the power cord, and then off by simply unplugging the cord. (Control the cooking process by timing the length of the grilling.)
Bachelor’s hint: You can cook/grill ANY boneless, relatively flat piece of frozen meat — filet mignon, top sirloin, pork chop, chicken breast, beef or turkey burger, flat fillet of fish, even Kielbasa sausages — from SOLID FROZEN with the GRILL COLD to medium-well done in about 15 MINUTES. And ALL YOU HAVE TO DO is plug the grill in, and unplug it when the (separate) timer goes off.
Special bachelor’s hint: If you tear off a sheet of aluminium foil and fold it inside the grill so that it forms a pouch with the open end over the bottom edge of the drill ( so that it drips into the catch pan for the grease), and then place the meat to be cooked inside the pouch, the YOU WON’T EVEN HAVE TO CLEAN THE GRILL, because all the grease with be within the disposable aluminium foil pouch.
(I should charge for these expert tips, but they sound like something that a practical homeowner/wife/parent would appreciate — or perhaps N would like to learn a new household skill in about 15 minutes…)
Anyway, here’s a helpful, non-partisan comment, because I’m so sick of the current state of both U.S. politics and the international situation overseas. Cheers. 🙂
