The nice thing about the strawberries is that they were both super delish and super cheap. Like, seventy-nine cents a pint.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
The guy never showed up. Apparently the computer wiped out the appointment we were supposed to have.
Now I get to leave work early again tomorrow and do it all again.

Haven't seen strawberries at our FM, but we have gotten some fantastic cherries.
Looks like strawberries and raspberries come into season here in August through October. We didn't get a CSA fruit share, but I love having their calendar to check what should be available locally.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Did you ask them about legs?
I have legs. Every day. I really didn't want to know the answer.
Kat...I have no words. I wish you the best in showing them the error of their ways and getting remuneration.

Query: Is there some little useful-but-not-necessary-item that you lack, whose very lack bedevils you to the point of sighing wistfully and saying, "Gee, I really wish I had a [item] ?
I ask because I seem to have magically wished for a slotted spoon about nine times in the last two months.
And yet, if I went and bought a slotted spoon I'm sure I wouldn't use it for a year.

Is a Kitchaid mixer too big an item for that question? Because I was just in the kitchen making a cake and thinking, "As God as my witness, if I ever have more counter space, I am getting a mixer!"
Even without a mixer, my coconut cake turned out okay: [link] Not as tall and fluffy as on ATK, and my coconut toasted unevenly, but I think it will be appreciated. I really hope teh brithday girl likes coconut.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Jack of all trades. Or as is known among my single women acquaintances in the 'hood: a handyman husband. Or "my guy." That's all we want, we'll even pay. One of them has a friendly ex to help (he's so trying to win her back, but it is sort of hopeless.)

Pretty cake, Sue!
Nonstick waffle iron that is actually nonstick. Leaving half my delicious waffle stuck to the iron is always disappointing.
Relatedly, is there a better way of greasing up a waffle iron than pouring oil on it and daubing at it with a wadded up paper towel?
