Is 3 days an unreasonable amount of time for me to expect one skirt to be cleaned? Was 7 days reasonable for the cleaner to suggest?
Well, in my office, if a salesperson sends me an order without a deadline, that order automatically goes to the bottom of the queue. If other jobs with deadlines come in after theirs, those ones are done first, so Deadline-Free Order that could have been done in 24-48 hours may in fact wind up taking a week or more to get to.
Hmm. I just assumed dry cleaners had a general time frame that customers could expect their clothes back, not a "You give us a deadline and we'll meet it or else we'll take a week" policy.
Actually, this was the first cleaner I'd ever gone to where THEY asked ME when I wanted my clothes back; most just hand me a ticket and say "Wednesday after 4:30," etc.
Unrelatedly -- meara, did you get my e-mail?
My dry cleaner has the clothes done by late afternoon if I bring them in by 9 a.m and by about 2 p.m. the next day if I bring them in after that. They clean inhouse, though. I've never had any trouble with things like hemming and minor alterations through the dry cleaner.
I have to ask, megan, do you really have a cookbook called Cooking with Trader Joes? Because I may need it too given how much I shop there.
I also need a cookbook or some kind of starting-off point to get me to use my new crock pot. Now that I have one, I am unsure what to do with it.
Also? Car is with the mechanic and outside is wet. I think I am stuck at home for today.

Not Megan but there is a blog and a cookbook! Not affiliated w/ the store.

Yes, thanks Teppy--am contemplating between yours, the one that looks like a desklamp, and one from another site. Trying to decide which would be more easily [and *properly*] used.

Yes, my friend S gave it to me for Christmas for just that reason. I must say it was so nice to have a cookbook tailored to where I shop.
All
ingredients can be purchased at TJs. I'm thinking of making the Saag Paneer Lasagna for my Oscar dinner.

I also just got a slow-cooker for Christmas. The recipes from the recipe booklet that came with it have actually turned out good. I got a bunch of cookbooks out of the library and so far the best I've found are the 2 volumes of Gourmet Slow Cooker. This one [link]
also looks good, but I haven't made anything from it yet.
Thanks megan, thanks lisah. I will check it out.
Those photos Tom linked to! Terrifying and amazing.
I just got the info on where our ex-exchange student lives outside of Melbourne. I think he is not in an affected area, but am searching for an email to verify. It is so out of control.
