Part I

Part III
Today I want to introduce you to my new friend and kitchen companion - Alexa
Amazon Echo |
I know some people find Alexa a little creepy.....because she does know a lot of stuff....and is she listening in when we don't know it? Well all I can say is if she is, she probably won't be for long because we are just not that interesting. Here are the things I ask Alexa to do most often
- Set a timer (and the thing is she can set multiple timers which comes in very handy when I need the salmon baking for 15 minutes, the pasta boiling for 9 minutes and Big Brother coming on in 17 minutes) Alexa, keeps it all timed perfectly.
- Play Lionel Richie's Hits
- Play Michael Jackson's Hits
- Play Bruno Mars Hits (I keep trying to get her to only play his clean versions but she has not gotten that smart yet or she and I have different views of clean) So when a naughty one comes on, I hear the kids yell "Alexa, skip" hmmmm I am not sure how they can recognize these songs so quickly 😉
- Read my audio book (it is nice to sneak in a chapter or two while cooking)
- Read my notifications. Alexa is so sweet. She keeps up with the stuff I have ordered from Amazon and lets me know when things ship and are delivered.
- Order such and such. Yes, I can now place Amazon orders by speaking #couldbedangerous #nosleeptalking
- Order such and such. Yes, I can now place Amazon orders by speaking #couldbedangerous #nosleeptalking
- Tell me a joke. Alexa knows all kinds of jokes. She told us Father's Day jokes, Firecracker jokes....she's got them all.
- How old is so and so. I am constantly trying to figure out how old an actress, singer, or random person on tv is. So I just ask Alexa- and she knows!!!!
We have also asked Alexa: when is Amazon Prime Day, what day of the week a particular date will fall on, how many days until Christmas and other super important things that we must know.
I think she is going to be a lot like my smart phone. I really didn't think I wanted or needed one and now I can't live without it. Yes, Alexa is quickly becoming my right hand gal.
Do you have one? What do you ask her most often?
Alexa and I wish you a wonderful week. See you back here on Wednesday!!!!
