I didn't think. I was saving yesterday's coffee for the next day's iced coffee drink and disregarded the fact that the longer it sits, the more acidic coffee becomes.
My GURD acted up because, not only that, I bought one of those delicious (the small one) cheese Danishes that they make in Publix bakery. I had several afternoon teas while the rains came down.
So I cleaned my Keurig which I don't usually use in Summer but decided to make an exception and, in the process, it broke. Wouldn't run at all; would only sputter. So I replaced it. It was one of the originals for home usage, but I didn't buy it until I moved to Tallahassee. Circa 2007, we'll estimate.
While I was out, I loaded myself up on enough salad veggies to make dinner salads for seven nights. (The mixed greens with salmon croquettes were to die for.)
As I wanted to store everything properly for freshness, I overworked the salad spinner. This one that I have always taken apart to clean was the first OXO made and was not meant to be disassembled although I've done it for years. I bought it in the late 1970's. It's cracked, broken, and dead.
Now, I have to run to Brown's before the lettuces give out and get a new spinner (big one this time)which is now made to disassemble and dishwasher safe. I promised myself a different dinner salad every night until the end of August.

She owned the first Mediterranean style restaurant in San Francisco.
