Martha would not be so proud

It's quite possible I did something over the weekend that just screams 'Not Me Monday'. I'm linking up at McMamas with this one today...the idea is to write about something you did as if you didn't. Make sense? Read on and you'll get it...

Mckmama- Not Me Monday

As I was preparing the marinade for Saturday night's dinner I most definitely did not leave the instruction manual and recipe booklet inside my juicers waste can and then proceed to juice six limes and three oranges. I never once wondered why the juicer seemed to be operating more slowly than normal and I absolutely did not rack my brain trying to figure out where in the world I had put that instruction manual/recipe booklet.

And I was not completely finished with the whole juicing process and ready to empty the waste can before I noticed the booklets. I didn't discover the cleaning brush needed for the basket in there too. I am never careless. Glops of pulverized lime peel were not sprayed across every.single.solitary. page of the 115 page booklet and no, of course it wasn't at all wet and sticky. Naturally I took lots of pictures because I want to remember this incident and also share it with Martha. I was given the juicer as an audience member at her show and I know she will find this funny. She is not at all a perfectionist and does crazy stuff like this in her kitchen on a regular basis too.

  3. And my sil did not undeniably leave the instruction booklet to her Raclette on the burners during a company dinner party that was not at all smoky, uneventful, and memorable. And she also did not look in every drawer, trash can and other receptacle in search of same directions.

  4. Joyce,

    I think we all have those kinds of those days. Perhaps you can write the company and have them resend you another one. At least it didn't add paper pulp to your marinade right?


    Love and Hugs ~ Kat

  13. Too funny. I especially like how you did not once stop the process to figure out why it was running slower.
    And I'm sure you put the booklets there for safe keeping and easy access. Smart.
    Just sayin'

  15. I have learned the great freedom of throwing away instruction booklets because you can Google when you need them.

    I just know this has changed your life today.

  17. This. is. too. funny.
    As southern folks would say..."Bless your heart"

    This really, is not something I would "normally" do, however, I'm not quite as "normal" as I used to be now that I'm getting a bit older. ; )
