So long, dear friend.
This is a sad day indeed. Pictured here is my trusty container of ranch dressing powder that I put on popcorn – we’ve been together nearly two years.  We met at Sam’s Club in the spring of ’05. *sniff* I knew this day was coming, but I didn’t think it would hurt so much. Goodbye, muchacho – you will be sorely missed.
P.S. It was 16 ounces – 256 1/2 teaspoon servings. The label says, “use within six months of opening.”
Coffee
Yesterday I bought a new one-cup coffeemaker. My old one was a multi-step process, because the cup that came with it is small and ugly. I’d brew a cup, then pour it into a bigger, more attractive one, spilling coffee everywhere. The new one holds my mugs just right! (Plus the filter is easier to clean.)
…..Now I feel bad for insulting the old coffee maker.
