Do you feel it? That change in the air? We in the Northwest call it rain, and it means the wet season is here until sometime around July 4. And that means the recipes have changed. Instead of fresh salads, it’s hearty stews and tasty bagels.
And that’s wonderful. A nice layer of fat will help keep you warm in the rain.
This year’s Evergreen State Fair was a success. It featured fun rides, lots of animals, acres of baked goods and … healthier food? Healthy food at the fair? That’s like going to the opera hoping a fight breaks out. Or going to a hockey game hoping for high culture.
Roomba: It’s like a pet or a child, only it cleans up after you. Some people are so in love with their robotic vacuums that they’re giving them names and dressing them up.
You can even buy costumes for Robbie Roomba, including (and we’re not making this up) RoomBette La French Maid, Toothy the Killer Whale, Roor the Tiger, Mooba the Cow and Sooshi the Goldfish. After all, as the sales site says, “If you don’t dress up your Roomba, it’s just a naked vacuum!”
