Monday 2-13 Having Fun

A fun day

It was cold and drizzly all day but we still had fun.

Larry worked on our taxes. He is almost done but he is still short one 1099. While he did the taxes I did some Sudoku.

Last week when we were watching the GizWiz, Chad did a review on a product called Perfect Drink. It's a product that comes with a scale and shaker to make different types of drinks. It was inexpensive and looked fun so Larry ordered one. It came in this afternoon so we played with it. First you have to put two AAA batteries in the scale, then you download their application to your smart phone or tablet. The app. has a 100's of different drinks and tells you what you need to make the drink. You can also enter in all the drink ingredients you have laying around and it will show you what drinks you can make. Once you decide on a drink you put the shaker on the scale and the app. will walk you through the process of making it. It shows you how much of each ingredient you need and as you put each ingredient in the app. display shows you pouring the ingredient in the shaker, once the right amount is in the shaker it will beep. Then you add the next ingredient until all the ingredients are in the shaker. Than the app. will tell you what to do next, like to shake the drink, pour the drink in the glass or put the drink in a blender. Larry doesn't drink sweet drinks but I do, the drinks came out perfect. If the drinks don't come out to your taste you can edit the recipes on the app. We had fun playing with our new toy.

Mainstays Personal Blender

Because we wanted to make frozen drinks we needed a blender. We rarely use a blender so we got rid of ours many years ago. After looking at reviews we went to Walmart and bought a Mainstays Personal Blender for $10. It's a small blender and it works perfect for one person.

While hanging around the house and playing with our drink maker we watched the Olympics and YouTube videos. I also worked on my annual book. We had a fun day.
