But their favorite thing now is Vitamin Water Zero so they suck down two cases a week.


Earlier in this or the Cooking in Isolation thread, I mentioned that I am good cooking up to six days out of the week and they can fend for themselves with pre-portioned leftovers, so I won't always post, but I am generally cooking and doing the shopping.

ASIDE: We had a "laundry emergency" earlier in the week as they bought a new W/D kit back in February, but it pretty modern so I was washing everything. They disliked a front loader they had in the 2000's, so we replaced a traditional top loader this year with an LG
top loader with a computer to sense the weight of the clothes so it measures water. Typically, I just use the fast wash cycle for everyone since normally there is never a full load, but after a bedding accident on Saturday night they tried on Sunday morning not to bother me and they put liquid detergent in the Bleach part, used pods and liquid detergent and thought every load needed "Heavy Duty" cycle which is over 90 minutes long and overly suds their clothes with 5 times detergent in the water. I've spent the week using the tub's Sanitize feature.
