EZEE FLIP JAR MY NEW FAVORITE THING

Here is a little gift 2nd Man got for me.

I'm not sure where he bought them, as I didn't ask, but they do sell them on Amazon, you can CLICK HERE to see what they sell there.

They are made to transfer pickles, olives, etc from the standard refrigerator jars into these to make them easier to serve without fishing around in the liquid.

The reason 2nd Man bought them is he thought they would be great for my quick pickled onions...and he was right!  I just flip the jar up, slice up my onions and put them in the dry jar.  Next, I made my brine...

Then I pour the brine in and screw on the lid and then comes the fun part...

...flip it upside down!  All the liquid fills up the portion with the onions and they can "do their thing".  Then when you serve, you flip it back the other way and have a mess free way to get out what you need.

We have two, small and large.  The large works great for my pickled red onions.  I'll figure out a use for the smaller one.  Maybe pickled jalapeños?

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2025

Here we are!

2025!?!  We were just talking about how we remember when Y2K was a thing, the rollover from 1999 to 2000 and everyone thought the world was going to end...and now TWENTY FIVE YEARS have passed on by!

What the heck?

But for better or worse, here we are, a quarter century older than we were back then, ha. 

This time last year, I was only a few weeks past my heart attack, wondering what the future would hold.  Now, here we are, one year later, with groundbreaking on our new house about to happen.  This year will finally bring us to our dream of living in our dream house AT the farm.

It'll be a year of BIG changes but it's what we've worked toward all this time and we are ready to start our new adventure!

Periodically, I like to say I still don't have my flying cars and robots.  For the longest time, it seemed robot vacuums would have to be it but...

...we are getting close to the robot part of that.  This is one of several humanoid robots rapidly coming into reality.  This one is called Figure 02.  There are at least a half dozen others just as close and advanced. This model has the potential to be used in homes for chores and errands.  Hey, maybe I can have one of these to help around the farm in a few years!

Two Men, a Robot and a Little Farm? 🤣

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Be safe!
