Cool Stuff
Posted to Miscellaneous category
I've gotten some deliveries of cool stuff. (It's a good thing the driveway is usable.)
First, on Tuesday, I received a package from an order I made to Crate and Barrel. I've been wanting a free-standing pot-rack since I started acquiring good cookware, and their summer catalog had a bamboo and steel one on sale for under $200. I received the second box of the shipment today, and just finished putting the rack together. I need to reorganize things in the kitchen a little to make room for it, but I think it will be very useful, and look nice, too.
The wood-tone of the bamboo is a pretty good match for my light oak kitchen. And 6 shelves of storage space will be great to have. The bottom shelf space is tall enough for the catfood canister, which I had been a little worried about.
Yesterday I received a Shadow Unit lined windbreaker I had ordered. A similar jacket can be seen here, modeled by author Emma Bull.
Those were both expected deliveries.
The surprise was a delivery from Amazon: my company sent me three allergy cookbooks. Probably in lieu of a birthday lunch, which is just as well: I had a hard time finding something to eat at the nice restaurant Nanette took me to last night. The meal I finally selected was very nice, though the dessert menu was hopeless.
