Tribulations (small)

[slipjig3]

Tribulation the First: Oh, lurvely: a coolant leak to go with my oil leak. Just what I always wanted! You shouldn't have!

Tribulation the Second: Life, in the final analysis, is a series of challenges. Challanges such as how to get hot cocoa out of foam rubber. (No, I am not seeking suggestions.)

Tribulation the Third: Little tempered glass prep bowls are the awesomest thing, except for one detail: if you have one in your sink directly under the faucet and you turn on the water, said water will geyser straight back up again and onto (choose one:) (a) the counter; (b) the floor; (c) your shirt; or (d) some entertaining combination of any or all of the above.

Didn't I give you silicone prep bowls Once Upon A Time?

You did, indeed! The glass ones I've had forever; we use them to hold ketchup for dipping and such, which is why one was in the sink, making my life miserable.

I seem to have the Third issue with spoons in the sink, myself.

Silly bowl solution: aim for the cat. Oh wait, that isn't practical either. But it is temporarily entertaining.

It was Rainer Maria Rilke who said

"The purpose of life is to be defeated by ever greater things"


And I think that's just about the most inspiring thing I've ever heard.
