robots, pies, assorted

threeplusfireI am thinking about having a small party. Just as an excuse to have some pie, perhaps play some Settlers of Catan. The first person I will invite is ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
nomic, because he said he will be my new best friend if only I give him some pie. It will be some weekend in March.
Bed Bath & Beyond has a pineapple pillow. I really want it. It's adorably bizarre, and I love pillows.
Roomba maintenance is important. Today I cleaned out the insides of the Roomba, cutting free the hair wrapped around the brushes and blowing out dust. I have also learned that one can clean filters with compressed air, greatly increasing their lifespan and saving money. Now I'm trying to figure out how to hang up the rug outside so I can beat it with a stick. I have the feeling it is full of dust and it is too large to just shake.
So far today I have not been attacked by any spiders.
I am so peeved by Casey, who was not a good sous chef in my opinion. If Carla had not listened to her, I think she would have won the title. Seriously, souffle? who wants to be messing with a souffle on the final competition? That is like all those disastrous quiches in previous seasons. Ugh and cooking beef sous vide? Bleah. Poor Carla, I think she really deserved better than that.
Stefan could have won, but I think his dessert wasn't tasty enough. I agree with the comment about how the plate looked super 80s, presentation wise. He should have made some pralines or something that would have tied it all closer to New Orleans. Overall, I really liked his menu.
Josea's win seemed fair in the context of the evening. He's a hell of a cook. Plus his sous chef shut the hell up and didn't put their stamp all over everything.
The weather is already hot. Yuck. I would like to buy some rain, please. Though I have successfully rid the side of the house of weeds. Now to work on the area around the gate. I am contemplating ripping up those funny looking asparagus fern plants. I'm not fond of them, or the big spiky thing right by the windows. It's also getting close to time when we should plant a tree in the yard. I want to do some reading and research first.
