@Fernwood no joy yet, has not arrived yet. Per DHL tracking it has spent the day in Miami with no estimated date of delivery.

Another DHL e-mail says my shipment will arrive on Tuesday. Glad I’m working at home that day. About sending out the orders alphabetically, my last name starts wth G. So, maybe?

Didn’t arrive today. Checked the DHL website and it was sent out for shipping yesterday but returned to DARTO. Don’t understand what has happened but will keep checking.

My email was from DHL asking for my delivery preference, front door, back door, sign for it or just leave it at the place of my choice.

Mine will be delivered Oct 11

@JoNorvelleWalker me too. Wishing it was the paella pan

I got the e-mail!!!

Wow those are beautiful!

Chum is the best looking lab ever. Well except for my yellow, long gone, lab Bailey.

@mgaretzI just made your char sui pork. It’s delicious and so easy. Was too lazy to drive 30 minutes to 99 Ranch for the char sui powder but Amazon came through.

I use Costco for laundry soap, toilet paper, cat litter, some meat, leafy greens for the chickens, toothpaste and other odds and ends. I use Amazon for make up, tea, books. Even though it’s just my son and I the large pack items at Costco are useful.

@Anna N I love all of your chopstick rests. I think that’s the right word.

@rotuts yes that’s it Palek Paneer. Age is messing with my memory but I know the package when I see it!

@rotuts I really like TJ's saag paneer

Your photos are gorgeous and the food looks amazing.

@chefmd you would love me too! I only like chicken breast although I know it’s disliked by many here. I didn’t eat meat until I was 12 or so. The family doctor told my mom I was too lazy to chew. I enjoy meat now but the texture of any fatty parts is like fingernails on a blackboard to me.

@kayb haven’t thought about The Five Little Peppers in years. I love that book too.

Safe travels home. I hope everything you want to take home fits in the van!

@kayb I always thought a Zinfandel went better with Froot Loops

I love Kira’s hairstyle and pensive look. Is the purple thing there for tactile purposes?

Thank goodness Amazon told me I’d already bought the Pépin. Now gotta search Kindle for it.

@Ann_Tlove the crab and am jealous. Have only had it twice this year. Only frozen available now

The boyfriend's chickens eggs all have similarly colored yolks. The shells vary in colors of brown. We were buying organic chicken food from Costco for about 8 months and then they stopped laying as much. Switched to Scratch and Peck food from the feed store and now they’re back to producing an egg a day, all 14 of them. All of our friends and neighbors enjoy the egg bounty and save eggs cartons for us.

@Norm Matthews@Norm Matthewsbeautiful plates and dinner!

My son went to the bahn mi store today. Half of the BBQ pork one was my lunch, half is my dinner with a Moscow Mule. These are incredibly good and inexpensive $3.50 a sandwich. No photo because my tech mojo has vanished. It’s been at or near 100 degrees this week and there’s not much cooking except roasting some yellow beets. Probably for a salad with feta and walnuts. And HB eggs in Instant Pot for deviled eggs.
