What would a smart person do?
They would go upstairs to bed and nap.
I did. And could not fall asleep.
Someone just called and wanted my help. She said, I don't know who else to call.
While awaiting her call, I began reading Sam Sifton's
Marvelous, except he expects us to add the spice cumin frequently.
When I lived in TX and added cumin, my eyes blew up like a tea bag.
Ain't gonna try it again.
He goes into great detail about how to set the table.
I never thought of it as a big deal but - guess what? - now I do!
Sam, who cites his Times' colleague - Melissa Clark - who I love - tells us what tools we need in our pantry.
One is a vegetable peeler.
I do not have one.
Am gonna look online and find a good 'un.
The napkin is on the left of the plate with the fork on top.
Fold your napkin - and I have linen napkins - like a book, he says, with the spine facing the plate.
DO invite me over. I'll bring a nice floral arrangement.
And now, Dear Reader, I'm off to seek a good peeler.
Wish me luck. As you may remember, I bought one at Giant, which did terrible damage to Scott's thumb. It wouldna stop bleeding.
Found a good un on THE VERMONT COUNTRY STORE, which is where I bought my light-up-in the night clock.
Also purchased RALSTON PURINA HOT CEREAL. Arrives in bags.
