I love online shopping. Saves sooo much time! I just realized that the
potato recipe I am going to make for Easter would require very thinly sliced
potatoes and onions. I used to use my food processor and I just threw it
out due to rust inside and on a blade. I could clean it off of the blade
but I don't think I could get deep inside. It was like...under the plastic
in the middle of the blade. Probably safe but I didn't like the looks of it
and it was taking up sooo much room on the counter top.

I don't know of any specific kitchen type stores around here and the one
that was in downtown Edmonds, I think may not even be there any more. It
has moved locations at least twice, I believe. And in looking online, I
couldn't find any mandolines available for sale at any stores in this area.
Not saying there are none. I just couldn't find the information online. I
did find a hand operated one online at Walmart and I paid for rush shipping
to get it here in time. I just hope it works and I don't slice the heck out
of myself. I've always been somewhat afraid of one because of all the
cautions they have on those cooking shows. But I will be super careful with
it. And it will take up a lot less room than the food processor.

If it turns out that there is an actual need for another food processor, I
will get one. But in the meantime I will make do without.

I also get a lot of things through Amazon.com. Just got a steamer for hard
surfaces. I am going to use it on the kitchen floor. It's supposed to be a
lot easier to use than a mop. And I keep getting this weird black sticky
crap on various parts of the floor. No clue what it is. I am the type who
will clean up a spill when I know I have made one. But the others in this
house do not seem to do that. So by the time I find it, it has solidified
into something icky. I also do Swagbucks and my choice of redemption of
prizes through them is Amazon gift cards. I can earn up to $25 per month.
It is difficult to get that much in a month but I have done it a couple of
times.

How do you like the Soda Stream? My daughter really wants one but I do not.
Seems like one more thing to take up space on the counter and I don't really
like the taste of Splenda which is what they use.
