December bits and pieces

I took part in the Cuisinart recall.

Mr. FG sent me an article yesterday about the Cuisinart food processor blade recall, which affects food processors all the way back to 1996!

I got mine as a wedding present in 1997, and sure enough, it was listed in the recall.

I tried calling the phone number, but it was very backed up.   Happily, you can submit your information for a recall on their website instead, so that’s what I did.

And a new, free blade should be on its way.

I kinda sorta doubt that my blade would come apart at this point, given that it’s been fine for nearly 20 years, but hey, the new one is free, and I’ll be able to use it without worry.

If you’ve got a Cuisinart, check and see if it’s part of this huge recall!

The cookie winner

For the first time in Frugal Girl cookie-guessing history, no one got the answers exactly right.   I guess we were especially tricky this year?

(Very few people guessed that the melted snowman was made by Sonia. 😉 )

Anyway, I’m giving the $50 Amazon gift card to Angela, who was the first person to get just two wrong.   Congrats, Angela!   I’ll be emailing you today.

Here are all the correct answers.

Man, I love Zoe’s tree with the fluffy scarf.   So great. And the lips on Lisey’s bell crack me up every time too.

Thanks so much for playing along, everyone! We always have a great time watching your guesses roll in.

I finally have my new phone working!

My phone got here first, but then my case was delayed by four days. And when my case finally arrived, we discovered I needed a different SIM card, which took another several days to get here.

Such a first-world problem, right??

Happily, my old phone was still limping along, so it’s not like I was completely phone-less while I waited.

Mr. FG was sweet enough to help me get it up and running as soon as my SIM card got here, and I’m now in the land of updated cell phones.   Whee!   Everything works so nicely now, and I’m glad I spent the $35 to upgrade. 😉

Aaaand, that’s all, folks!   See you tomorrow for menu/grocery talk.   Have yourself a lovely Thursday!
