Punishingly Intricate

If there's a salsa you like, Connie, a super easy guac-like thing to do is mash avo with a few spoonfuls of the salsa. My Texan dad doesn't put peppers in his awesome guac. It's just onion, avocado, tomato, salt and pepper. And, duh, lots of fresh lime juice!

My standard guacamole recipe, such as it is: make salsa however you like it (and if that is by opening a jar, fine, I believe chopped up tomatoes and onions was the standard I learned). Add avocado and smoosh all together. Lime juice because always add lime juice.

I hardly ever do that, though. Just avocado and a spoon for me, mostly. In fact, that might be lunch...

Nope, gonna save the avocado for tomorrow, they make such good take-to-work lunches. Today I will see if I can reinstall a soufflé.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Should a new water heater cost $1200?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Depends on the size, but it doesn't sound too out of line to me. Is this with installation?

That sounds on the high end, but with installation, yes, probably.

Are you looking to upgrade at all? I'm just curious.

My phone is telling me that to reach my "activity goal" for today I can spend 28 minutes cleaning, 39 minutes washing dishes, 33 minutes baking, or 17 minutes gentle dancing. I like the sound of gentle dancing.

Is it Electric, Zen? I had an electric one replaced in 2013 and it cost me somewhere around the $7-800 range.

Humph, approximately an hour of puttering around the kitchen didn't do it. Sorry to be all activity-tracker-likes-carrots, but this will be the first time I've actually made my goal for the day with this one and I want to find out what happens.

Breakfasts good to go through next Tuesday. I'll need to make more pancakes and buy some bacon sometime in the next 10 days, that should be manageable. Working on lunches and dinners now...

ETA actually taking a break right now, but putting salads in jars pretty soon.
