Survivor 50

I was actually on Borneo, going through Medical School, when the first Season of Survivor aired.  My housemates and I would stop what we were doing and pile in front of the TV to watch it every week.


Since then, I have been a fan - although there were some years in there where the show somehow lost its appeal to me, but I caught back up, albeit years later.

Today was the season premiere of Survivor 50, and I am sooo here for it.

The Thrill of Getting a Replacement Pan

Our wonderful and very reliable Vollrath Pan suddenly got a warped-and-coming-apart bottom, which also inadvertently, was making a overheated spot or something, on our induction stove top. 


The hubs called the company, and long story short, they made good on their lifetime guarantee. YAY!

Trying to get into the Chinese New Year Mood

I haven't been able to have much of the CNY vibes over here, but one can try.

Indoor Plants

The plants that have been kept in the "truck" over the winter time, have been doing quite well! Granted, we do have a little heater in there, but they have survived and some have even thrived.

Holding on to the Snow

If we get snow at all in a year, it's usually just the one time.

So, I'm quite happy for the snow to hang around for a bit.  It has been cold but not sloshy, and the bits where the ice has, melted have dried out.
