So many things were happenng on friday. The nice part was getting new furniture. The upstairs looks a lot different now. Best of all, the den is comfortable ;)
While we were at the tenants, cleaning up in the attic we discovered just how much exra junk the last couple tenants left. I never thought to check th eback of the basement. I just assumed that no one had gone down there. Then I found they used it to store old broken appliances. Something I really don't get considering both appartment came with appliances that were of good quality, if not new.
So now in the basement I have so many scrap metal appliances. I hate it. I am sure all the metal is worth money but not enough to have to haul all the shit out. I knew about the old furnace, and two hand crank washing machine from another but not there is a broken refrigerator, a broken stove and a broken washing machine, argh. I also found like 4 probably broken small televisions
There is just an overwhelming amount of junk with that. I seriously need another two ton day at the dump. Next time all of our stuff is pretty much out so it will be easy to see if anything is left by tenants.
There was also some sort of garbage dump going on in the backyard, which is especially weird considering there were two empty ultra large size garbage totes.
It was filled with bags of diapers and stuff which cats or rats decided to pull apart. Fun. People are such scumbags.
Next step, now that we won the eviction proceding: we get to go pay the City Of Buffalo $105 to have them officially tell the missing tenant who abandoned the property, that she is out by pinning anotice on her door. Why that costs $105 is a mystery, considering she is no longer there. If we don't pay its not yet official.
After she is offically evicted, we get the pleasure of changing locks and cleaning up her ton of shit.
The best part of the whole thing was my aquisition of baby jesus in a coffin. If animatronic, old school style with a wind up key.
You can go up to 1.50 water: 1.00 rice. 1.50 makes softer rice - for south indian dishes.
And not all rice cookers are made equal. Hehe. If anyone is in the market for a new one, I strongly recommend Tatung.
My rice cooker has four parts: lid, steamer bucket, bowl, and cooker. Rice cooking only uses three parts. I use it more now that (e:tinypliny) told me what i was doing wrong with basmati rice (best rice in the world) - 1.25 c. water to 1 c. rice, not 1:1.
can anybody ever tell if James is being sarcastic?
I bought a rice cooker at a garage sale but I think I lost a part, or maybe I am just not smart enough to put it together.
James I can't tell if you are being sarcastic or if you really do set your rice cooker so you can wake up to fresh rice.
I used to want a rice cooker but I learned it wasn't that hard to just use a pot so I never got one. The one nice thing is it automatically shuts off when it is done so it doesn't burn it.
My rice cooker is my favorite appliance. I like it even more than the dishwasher. I have a programable one so I can set it up in the evening and wake up to freshly made rice. Super yum.
