Eat Your Heart Out A+a+on

 I try so hard not to do business with Amazon and Wal-Mart.  My concerns about their labour policies and monopolistic practices out weigh their convenience factors.

I've needed to get a new egg poaching pan having destroyed my old one by leaving it on the heat long after the eggs were done.

The retail "go to" sources for kitchen ware are scarce.  Of course there is Target which has  pots and pans for any and all bits of kitchen ware - any and all except for egg poaching pans.

Sarasota has "Sur la Table" and "Williams-Sonoma".   They are above and beyond my budget.

And then there is "Bed, Bath, and Beyond"  - what an odd name:-  what is in the "beyond"?

It turns out that egg poaching pads are.


I ordered one at 3:00 p.m. on Monday last.  It was delivered via "Door Dash" at 6:40 p.m.  That's faster than the big-bad  A+a+on.

A couple of caveats. 

1.  I live just about four miles from the local "B-B and B" Store.  Why did I not go there?  This is Florida, "beat the heat" country.

2.  The pan was delivered by one Nancy of Door Dash.  She did not ring my door bell so I could not give her a gratuity.  I hope that Door Dash reimburses her fairly.  I doubt it - given the rotten business practices of similar outfits, such as UBER.  

Sometimes the "system" defeats our best intentions.

Just for the record.

My purchase is technically an Egg Steamer not a Poacher.   That's a subject for a later discussion.

Meanwhile ---  Poached Eggs and Avocado Toast for Breakfast on 5/26.  Who could ask for anything more?

Utterly Wonderful

  80 years equals family Fifty plus of us. My five remaining sibs and their spouses. Nieces, nephews, great nieces and nephews. Cousins, second cousins, third cousins A joyful and relaxed family reunion. Super food. Great food for children with activities for them too, including face painting. This 80-year-old child wore a birthday coronet and insisted on having his face painted. A marvelous family reunion; and the greatest celebration of my four score years.

Not the best of days HELP! A mistake and a fall.

  I arrived in time for my 8:50 appointment with my Dermatologist.   The Receptionist told me that I did not have an appointment.  She checked the records and told me that my appointment is for Tuesday. I knew that.  Then the light dawned.  Up until that moment I had thought that it was Tuesday, not Monday. You'd think that calendars had not been invented! It got worse. I took Cooper for an early pee walk this afternoon.  He lifted his leg to cue. Then he took a strong and mad dash towards a Squirrel.  I fell down.  And great was my fall. Lots of scrapes.  No bones broken. Pictures not in order. Excuse duplicates. No sympathy please - I was foolish. Fortunately, I had an arm bandage to sop up the blood. It looks worse than it is. BUT  1.  I was foolish in two ways. First, I had taken Cooper on a short leash.  I'd have had more control with the double handled long leash. 2. When he made his mad dash, I should have dropped ...
