Happiness from [profile] folkmew, and other goodnesses and amusements for the day.

Yesterday, we had a visit from the postman at something like 8:00 in the morning. Yes, on a Saturday. [livejournal.com profile] filceolaire was more dressed than I was, so he ran down to retrieve-- a package from [livejournal.com profile] folkmew, which managed to get here from the US in only five days!

It contained:
  • Q-tips (I have plenty of these now-- I think I can safely say I'm stocked up through and probably beyond Christmas!);
  • Maple Flavour! We are already looking for more fun recipes to use that in;
  • Peanut Sauce Mix! We had Thai chicken tonight;
  • Yummy-looking ice cream recipes, which we have stashed in the ice cream recipe book that [livejournal.com profile] filceolaire picked up last week.

    I also had a package slip last week that might mean [livejournal.com profile] bunrab's package has arrived, as well. Tomorrow's the day to check that out, I think.

    Today, I upgraded my Mac to OS10.3, which was easy even if it did take a long time.

    [livejournal.com profile] mokatiki and [livejournal.com profile] pola_bear took [livejournal.com profile] filceolaire out for Father's Day, and they came back with presents for everybody, including a beautiful skirt for me. I only wish I hadn't been so grumpy about the heat and the iPod and everything else, because I did not gush over it appropriately. Please consider yourselves duly gushed.

    Alas, the new Coke Zero is not made with Splenda, as I'd hoped. It appears to be attempting (successfully) to simulate the taste of flat off-brand "Cola," and it lists "caffeine" as a flavour. I am not making this up.

    And, while we were all having dinner (Thai chicken!), I got a call from Glen Cronkhite in California, who says my harp case will be ready by the end of June! Hooray!

    Hmm; I don't remember seeing A/Dark outside of New England, but I'll keep an eye out. We can get B here in the wilds of California. When I was growing up in CT, 40-odd years ago, I wasn't doing much cooking.

    ... and now you've made me go all nostalgic.
