And I steamed some broccoli and then tossed it in the skillet with some garlic, sesame seeds and red pepper flakes and a drop of the dressing

And then we ate almost all of it up

I am very sorry to hear about Tommie DePaola , I remember reading his stories to the Vixter when she was only a tiny Vixling

Listening to a German cast recording of Die Dreigroschenoper (3Penny Opera) with Rene Kollo as Macheath and Ute Lemper as Polly Peachum. I don't know that I've ever listened to it all the way through before (another dollar purchase). I really like it. And the diction is so good, I can understand a little of the German. Thankfully, the booklet has a German/English libretto side by side.

When 3Penny opened, Vienna had a hit with Lehar's Fridericke while London had Jesse Matthews singing Noel Coward's A Room with a View. Room for all, it seems.

Watched another movie. Haven't heard a peep since I sent in the essay so maybe they've read it and hate it.

Well, I just got a text from my sister that she has some fresh baked Nestlé Toll House M&M and almond cookies! Twist my arm! I'm off to my sister's!

I'm home and the cookies were good! I, of course, brought a few home with me.

Took a ten-minute drive. A few cars on the road going who knows where. Restaurants dark but my favorite little pizza joint was open so that's an option for a meal at some point, but not slices - would have to be a pie.

Ralph's was still open and didn't look too busy, actually.

Food arrived thirty minutes early. The salad I love I wouldn't order again - it's a bit soggy by the time it got here. The pad Thai on the other hand is incredible.

Was the salad already tossed in the dressing? If so you could ask for it on the side next time.

Every time I've gotten salads to go, the restaurants have automatically had the dressing on the side. I've never had to ask. $:-\$

I was surprised the dressing was not on the side.

Do you have more packages to pick up while you are there?

On the way home from Safeway, where we did get most of what we wanted, we stopped at Fred Meyer. It too had fewer people today. No santitizers of any kind. I did get my eye drops and now don't have to worry about a delay in my delivery. They didn't have any cleaning products we wanted.

I went to Fred Meyer yesterday and they had a couple of racks at the ends of a couple of aisles that had sample-sized hand sanitizers in various scents. I got one with lavender scent and one with lemon and tea tree oil. They both smell rather nice.

I admit not looking there. It seems kind of sneaky to me

Jane · « **Reply #225 on:** March 31, 2020, 10:21:42 PM »

I wouldn't want lavender but lemon would be nice.

I don't think that there has been any deliveries since last week, so probably not until everything is opened up again. $:-\$

DR George do you recall what section the sample sizes were in?

Keith worked for Prentice Hall and remembers taking Strega Nona home from work. I forgot to see if we still have it.

Not specifically. It was near the back of the store (here in Tumwater), and across from the refrigerated dairy cases.

I hope not! Hopefully, the post office is holding onto packages! I don't know how much they can hold, or if things will be sent back, but I hope that they're not.

Listening to Clebanoff do Broadway tunes - I do love these kinds of albums.

Maybe you will find slips saying where to pick up the packages. The post office should be open.

The post office is open, but our building isn't...at least, the mail clerk hasn't been there since last week. And since the delivery address is my work address, not my personal residential address, I found that can't redirect any of my packages. I just have to wait to see what is delivered when my building finally does open and we let the post office know that we're open.
