Parent Bloggers Network is asking bloggers this weekend what they can't live without. What are the modern conveniences that get us through the day. Honestly, I've been thinking about it and there are just too many to mention. I would say the microwave, but then where does that leave the crock pot? And my coffee maker - really, where would I be without that trusty friend? In a heap on the couch watching Joy rip Elizabeth a new one that's where!
A friend of mine in Houston is suffering the after effects of Ike. She still doesn't have electricity. I guess that's sort of a must have. Modern conveniences are so pervasive, I can't pick just one. However, because they're promoting Yoplait yogurt, I'm going to go with a food theme. So here's my list of must haves:
- tortillas and shredded cheese (because mama don't like to grate) - these simple ingredients plus the aforementioned microwave mean equals independent after school snacking
- string cheese - the girl will not touch any kind of cheese that is touching something else, but cannot live without tubular mozzarella
- Wal-Mart pizzas - these are the best you can buy from the store, just as good as delivery and about a third the cost. I always have a couple on hand - for Friday nights when I don't want to cook.
Please write and tell me your must have conveniences. I need ideas!
By the way, you can get a coupon for $1.50 off a six pack of Yoplait here! Sweet deal!

We would not eat if it weren't for a microwave. (I dislike cooking~love entertaining, but not cooking)
My must have conveniences? Wow - I'm no parent - but let's see. The alarm clock, my blackberry, my sprint air card, the dishwasher, and my microplane (for grating cheese, zesting limes, or grating nutmeg!)
