What I Did Today

miko2I cleaned dishes. Woo, that's my attempt at cleaning my apartment for this week I guess.
I went to the store, came home, and made tacos. Yum! Only I forgot to buy cheese or sour cream. Doh! So I went to the store again, in between Simpson's episodes.
Also... this part comes with a story... I spent a little money.
I live in a 3-bedroom triplex apartment, and for as long as I've lived here there have been really old, really really old pots and pans and stuff for the kitchen. A lot of it was here when I moved in, which was like 15 years ago or something. I've always had roommates, and occasionally they'd buy something or my mom would give me something, but for the most part I've used what was always here.
One time, my mother had a full set of new pots and pans from my grandmother's house (after she went to the nursing home). She was going to give them to me, but had them in storage because I guess she wanted to wait until I didn't have roommates (who might do anything to ruin them, who knows?). But my sister finally got tired of waiting and took them herself.
So anyway a month or so ago the thought finally popped into my head to go and buy a REAL pan. I got a nice aluminum 12" sautee pan. It was so much nicer than anything else in the house! A few weeks later I got a 10" one that matched. I was going to get a smaller one, but they only came in the big deluxe pot and pan sets.
So tonight, since I didn't buy that computer yesterday, I decided to go for the whole shebang. Actually, they had a 10 piece set and a 7 piece set (1 pan, 3 pots, 3 lids... 7 pieces. Go figure). The 10 piece had the smaller pan, but I decided the 9.5" one in the 7 piece was good enough, no real need for a smaller one, and the 10 piece also had the monster pot but that happens to be one good thing I already own, a giant pot for massive stews or whatever. So I went for the 7 piece for $50.00, and everything matches with my other two pans. Inconcievable! Nice aluminum non-stick pots and pans, glass lids, fairly nice. MUCH nicer than the old stuff, which I am throwing out right now -- it's not even worth giving to Good Will.
