We’re having a yard sale in our neighborhood this weekend, and Mr. J and I are participating. We’ve spent the last week pulling things out of closets and putting little round price stickers on there. Here’s hope we have clear skies all day and make a little extra change!

It’s almost time for salad season, and this is one of my go-to kitchen gadgets. Once I chop up my lettuce and remove the stems, I add it to the strainer section and use it to rinse, tossing as I go. When I think that the leaves are nice and clean, then I put them in the outer bowl and pop on the lid. There are two buttons on top. The larger one pumps up and down and makes the strainer spin around. There is a smaller one that stops the spinning. I didn’t know about this one at first and threw lettuce everywhere. This thing is helpful when it comes to washing and drying lots of lettuce for salad. I love it!

Hope you celebrate with a margarita and a tasty Mexican dish! I love this holiday! We usually go out for it every year, and Mr. J and I celebrated early last Friday night. We have every year since we’ve been married. Ole!
