Random Thoughts

I got a text message from my daughter today accusing me of spiking her coffee with decaf. I swore I never touch the stuff.

We got a new stovetop cappuccino maker. It comes with an instructional DVD. In general, I think it's a good idea to avoid anything that needs an instructional DVD. Even our new Toaster Oven Broiler didn't have a DVD and it seems much more complicated that this thing, (the TOB is excellent, btw).

Regarding the TOB, there was something in Consumer Reports on the risks people take that they shouldn't and one of them was not unplugging the toaster when you're not using it. Does anyone do this? I guess anything is safer unplugged. But I don't turn off the gas when I'm done with the stove either. It's exciting to think I'm a risk-taker.
