rebeccmeisterIn this morning's vacuuming, I have learned that a recent occupant owned a long-haired dog. I also earned $0.05 and three Lego pieces for the trouble of vacuuming out the remaining intake vents. Is it typical to have a bunch of extraneous wiring running through intake vents? And, how often do people actually clean them out? Every five years?
I might go back over to the bike co-op this afternoon to continue doing some archaeological digging over there, too. We shall see.
Today I am also attempting to make injera using a mesh strainer instead of the blender step, and using extra teff and whole-wheat flour instead of white flour, because I ran out of white flour and want to completely use up the teff.
Sadly, the mesh strainer is dying. I think I bought it at an Ace Hardware store about 10 years ago. It has served me very well, but now I wonder if it's worth shopping for something higher-quality that should last longer.
Have any of you ever shopped for Turkish or Persian rugs? I'm thinking my general budget will favor something used off of eBay, but I don't know anything else about what to look for or watch out for. My goal in this department is to acquire something nice for the long-term, so I'm not in a hurry but want to start exploring the options.
