Mountains

Yes. This.

Endurance stainless steel food mill. Dave's making apple butter today. The recipe (Thomas Keller's) calls for cooking uncored, unpeeled, quartered apples in the first stage (the pectin released from the core + skin helps later). In the past, we've then separated the good stuff from the refuse using a sieve and a wooden spoon -- a process that ruined at least one sieve, took a long time, and made for sore elbows. The food mill, Dave reports, took 5 minutes. It also cleans up in a snap. (We found it at our grocery store, but the link above goes to Amazon.)

But Not This.

Commercials. We got cable just for football season; the rest of the year, we use Netflix and Apple TV. With the addition of cable came a lot of commercials. Most get muted.

Even on mute, Gmail's Daniel Lee commercial chokes me up. 

Shhh, Don't Tell...

...but I'm trying to watch Matt Forte, who's on my fantasy football roster, but I keep getting distracted by Clay Matthews, who's on my fantasy football roster. *wink-wink-nudge-nudge*

Question of the Day

Beach or mountains?
