  SCE TOU-D-PRIME-CARE plan with solar panels.  Highest rates are 4:00pm to 9:00pm   NO running the washer, dryer or dishwasher during high rate times.  Dishwasher is always programmed to start after 9:00pm.   Meal prep is unavoidable.  On time for the induction stove is usually less than...

The biggest problem with VIM and Salvo tablets . . .   . . . was kids trying to use them as hockey pucks.

  What, no barcodes?   ::dodges a hurled Rinso box and Fresh Start jug::

Wait, wait, I lost track again.   Is coffee an elixir of health or a deadly poison this week?

Here in Sunny SoCal . . .   . . . ALDI's carts are bigger than the carts at Stater Bros., Albertsons and Walmart Neighborhood Market.

  I don't have to tell my fellow ALDIans that ALDI has the biggest shopping carts in town, excluding the flatbed carts at Costco and its equivalents. ALDI's strategy is the inverse of the "eat from a smaller plate and you'll eat less" philosophy.  You have this BIG cart.  You have to use all of...

  My dishwasher never smells bad.  My garbage disposer never smells bad.  My front-loading washer never smells bad.   What am I doing wrong?

  We screen our landline phone calls with the answering machine and ever since we recorded a greeting that sounds like a redirect message, we've been getting more hangups and fewer sales pitches.  It appears robo-dialers that connect you to an agent can analyze speech.  It doesn't matter what...

You mean the fuel for a soda bottle bomb?   Uh. no.

Blue Scotch Brite and water . . .   . . . are all you need for daily cleanup. Saturate the pad, squeeze out most of the water, and rub with the scrubbing side down until you can feel the surface is clean.  Buff dry with a folded dishtowel. ALDI sells their own version under the Radiance brand...

  Make some popcorn in your West Bend Stir-Crazy, grab a bottle of Mexican Coca-Cola (with real cane sugar) or two from the Kelvinator Foodarama and lean back in your La-Z-Boy.

Even if you never use the self-clean cycle . . .   . . . a self-cleaning oven will have beefier insulation than a manual clean oven.  Lower fuel consumption, potentially quicker preheat and more consistent temperature. And there's always Easy-Off Fume-Free in the blue can.   Oh, one or two...

I think I have that much laying around.

Would I be a heretic . . .   . . . if I replaced the coil cooktops with, well, you know.  

  Someone threw an Eichler, a Frank Lloyd Wright Usonian and a Japanese meditation room into a blender and poured this out.

Spoke too soon.   As of this posting, IKEA is still selling one made by Electrolux.  No Air Fry, otherwise identical to its Frigidaire kin.   https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/tvaersaeker-range-with-induction-cooktop-stainless-steel-40466006/
