5/9/20 - Today I thought I would try my hand at making soft pretzels in the slow cooker since I don't have an oven. Since regular shaped pretzels wouldn't fit in the slow cooker, I decided to try bite-size one. I rolled the dough as if I was going to make a regular shaped pretzel but then cut it into bite-size pieces.
5/11/20 - Couldn't find any measuring spoons or cups at Tia's. So, I decided to make my own measuring cup. The apartment has 2 measuring spoons; the red one is ½ tsp and the green one is 1TBSP. So, I used the green one and measured water to make up ¼, ⅓, ½, ¾ and 1 cup, marking those amounts on the strip of paper I taped to the glass. I then put scotch tape over the strip to keep it dry when washed. Hopefully I can find a regular measuring cup, but until then, this is better than nothing!!
5/14/20 - Laundry day. I don't have a washer and or dryer at the apartment and I don't want to use a local laundry so I am washing my underwear and tops in the sink. There is a laundry service we used when we first moved to Ecuador that will pick up and deliver the laundry. I will be using that a couple times a month for sheets, towel and clothes. There are enough sheets and towels I don't have to call them often. So, until then, this is laundry day.
