Last time I encountered a similar problem with an identical printer, it was going to cost $900 to fix. This time I didn't even inquire. It went to the tip.
I was wandering idly through a computer store while The Spouse played with the laptops when I spied a combination fax, scanner, copier, printer at a fraction of the size and price of my existing printer and giant professional scanner. It always amazes me the advances in technology since my last purchase. More bang for fewer bucks. The Spouse egged me on and I liberated some money from the bank account and was soon crawling round the mazes of wires behind the computer desk getting everything hooked up.
Last weekend we went out shopping for our respective mothers. Having bought the Mother's Day presents in seemingly record time, The Spouse offhandedly suggested a visit to another computer store. Seems he was acting as agent on behalf of the sons and after 15 minutes hard talking, he had managed to convince me I needed a large flat screen for my computer. Techno-lust struck again.
By the time I had everything set up and running smoothly, I had run out of time as I had to cook the family Mother's Day lunch. But of course now I am wondering how I ever managed on that little screen for so long.
Today's recipe is the dish I made for that lunch. I didn't want anything too heavy, given the capricious appetites of the elderly biddies and decided it was a while since I had made a quiche. Fresh from his triumph in the computer store, The Spouse accompanied me to the supermarket for the ingredients and suggested I try making a blue cheese quiche. Seems he'd had a very tasty blue cheese tartlet as a starter when we went out for a dinner recently.
