This is my Haan.  I call it Hun for short.  As in Honey, I love you.
It’s a steam cleaner.  I use it to clean my floors.

Or I should say.  I USED it to clean my floors.

I can’t find the little knobby thing that goes on top. The thing that keeps the steam in.
So now when I turn it on, all the water just bubbles out like a volcano of hot, hot, water.

I put the knobby thing somewhere safe.
Behind the fruit bowl.
That currently has no fruit.
And coincentally, no knobby thing.

I think I put it somewhere super-duper safe, that time I cleaned up and forgot what it was. Well, I remeber thinking, “Don’t throw this knobby thing away.  I looks like it belongs to something important. Probably something for Mr. Woo.” So I put it away. Somewhere safe. Ish. I think.

But then I remember thinking, “Why does everyone leave their crap all over the house for me to pick up?” And then I may or may not have gotten mad because I forgot that this was in fact the knobby thing that I left all over the house for me to pick up. And then I may, or may not have shoved it somewhere ‘safe’ to teach somebody a lesson. And now I don’t know where it is.

I’ve looked here. In my slightly junky junk drawer.

And here. In my junkier, junk drawer.

Who could find anything in there? Certainly not me. So then I had spend an hour of my life cleaning out the junkiest junk drawer, to make it less junky. Only to find out, it wasn’t in there.

Let’s move on, I’m getting more depressed by the minute.

Mr. Woo doesn’t know where it is.  He doesn’t even know what I’m talking about.
And I really need to find that thing.
Because I’ll be forced to use the regular mop, and quite frankly I can’t really remember how.
I think it involves water. And maybe a bucket.
But, I can’t be sure.

I almost forgot.
It’s strawberry season.

No, really. I haven’t forgot. I could never forget that. Strawberries are EVERYWHERE and in EVERYTHING this time of year. And the best part is, they’re in season, they’re inexpensive and. . .
they are sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet.

But I did forget to post this recipe brought to by the California Strawberry Commission. It comes from their new book, Strawberry Recipes for Everyday. This handy guide includes over 45 recipes, complete with full color photos, fun facts, and tips on how to select and store these crimson jewels.

I was supposed to post it earlier this week. So you could make the most of strawberry season with strawberry recipes galore.

But I forgot, because I was busy forgetting to put my knobby thing away somewhere safe and somewhere that I would remember.

Uuuuggghhhh. What was I talking about again?
