Good Morning Friends,
What a difference sunshine and above freezing feels like. Our home is finally warmer. Discovered the old furnace was heating the basement-weird-but that did keep the floors warmer than they are now when it is below freezing. So I had to wear shoes indoors-ugh I never do that just wear thick socks instead.
I did have to go into the doctor Monday to make sure I was having asthma issues and not something else. So am on those dreaded steroid pills but am thankful not pneumonia.
A couple weeks ago when I was buying a few food items online, I was looking for those olive oil sprays. Not like Pam etc-but just pure olive oil-doing that I found something better. Not sure why I never knew about this before. On Amazon I found a sprayer made in Italy that you pour your own olive oil into. Wow I had not seen this before and I love it! Are you familiar with these? This is the one I bought (that red piece is a protector in shipping)
After I wash up my cast iron pans, I always heat them up and spray olive oil in them, let the pan heat up and then wipe out the extra oil--This new sprayer saves money for sure. I also use it to spray into the cast iron pans for frying eggs etc
When I went food shopping yesterday I couldn't help myself but to buy some flower seed packets. I wish I could grow a few veggies here but the numerous squirrels here destroy everything ugh-except flowers This Spring I will be able to find out how many of my perennials perished with that water issue. Thinking most all of them I will replace the bee balm plants for sure. Will check to see what seeds I still have left of perennials if any.
The super bowl will be a repeat of the super bowl two years ago. Hoping KC will win and make history-first team ever to win 3 super bowls in a row. KC has excellent coaches.
Happy Midweek everyone, and hoping you are having warmer weather now too
Enjoy Superbowl soon
ReplyDeletethanks that will be a wild game I am thinking
DeleteBack in the 1980s I bought an oil sprayer. It was prone to clogging/leaking and I soon discarded it, but I bet they've improved things since then.
ReplyDeletethat was a disappointment-This one works excellent-no leaks, the glass has weight to it as well
DeleteKathy glad to read you have warmed up a bit...we are having a January thaw...tomorrow sunny and in the 40's. What a great oil sprayer. I need to get one of these for my cast iron skillet. Thanks for the tip. Hope you didn't lose all your perennials - they often will surprise you and come back from drought and too much rain. Have you ever grown foxglove? They are one of my favorites and from time to time they will pop up unexpectedly. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteGood morning, I am hoping I will be surprised that some of the perennials survived I am pretty sure I lost the bee balm but perhaps not if the roots are still good. I think I have tried foxglove in the past-doesn't it take two years to bloom? I may try that again, so pretty enjoy the warm up we have rain coming in today
DeleteHugs
We had some sun and warmer temps today, but tomorrow it's back into he deep freeze for me so enjoy your nice weather.I'm jealous. :) I've seen those olive oil sprays, but never tried one. It's good to know they are worth it. Thanks Kathy.
ReplyDeleteSorry you have more arctic cold coming in, we are getting a nice break from it all I really love this sprayer wish I would have known about these earlier
DeleteYes thankful myself that the Polar Vortex has moved on. Interesting on the olive oil sprayer and yes it would save money. Will need to check into it as we use a lot of olive oil. TFS Janice
ReplyDeleteGood morning, I love this olive oil sprayer-It was packaged very well too and heavy glass we had rain early this morning-hoping no more arctic blasts for either of us
DeleteYour sprayer is pretty. I used to have an olive oil sprayer made by Pampered Chef. It was years ago and I don't know if they still make them but they were very inexpensive.
ReplyDeleteThis one was $27.00 but a very high quality product
