I was watching QVC last night -- In the Kitchen With David.

They had Blackstone griddles, and the lady doing the (so-called) "presentation" was named Betty.  David referenced her throughout as "Blackstone Betty."

I got the distinct impression from the sales pitch that QVC was clearing its warehouse of the particular model being sold.  Betty (Blackstone Betty, that is) was slapping stuff onto the grill, left and right.  It was the most gosh-awful combination of foods imaginable, from my point of view.  The griddle was covered...every square inch loaded down with stuff I wouldn't feed my worst enemy.  She called something "Tachos"...which seemed to be an assemblage of soft taco shells, overcooked hashbrowns, very dry looking eggs and some bacon that looked a bit ripe.

Added to that, her hair seemed to have been recently abandoned by a family of crows.

I made some appropriate comments to the In The Kitchen With David live feed on Facebook.  Nothing personal against Blackstone Better other than to say I'd seen more interesting foods at street fairs in the bins.

I did make my appointment, and all is well.

I did get to Sam's Club.  The motorized carts were all missing except for one dead one.  I took a push cart and slowly maneuvered around.  Got a lot of goodish things.  Spent more than $2.89, I can tell you.

Once home and unloaded, I sat down and promptly napped for about 90 minutes.

I do wish I filled my evening with quality something or other, but it just ain't so.

It is no 10:32 p.m., and I am more than ready for bed.

We use Progressive which is fine. But there’s a new law in British Columbia that is concerning. I’m in Canada at least part of every day. Even if a Canadian driver is at fault in an accident, US insurance cannot collect from them, nor can I or my insurance company sue them.

Yikes!  What does this mean for you?  You certainly aren't the only people in this situation. :-\

Means if I get in an accident while in Canada, I’m screwed, unless we have very comprehensive insurance.

As usual, I stopped at my favorite food store on the way home. They had the out-of-this-world strawberry mousse today. Yum!
