Any Home Bakers Here?

[Aria]

Spent like 5 hours walking around the fair darn do not think I will take a walk tonight ..
should have taken a walking stick not cane I lean on the cane throws back and neck off
I use a walking stick here at home outside I wing it inside .. by the way mostly because I tip over other tunnel vision ..no depth perception but do need a white cane

I have a walking stick....I use when I am walking outside our property...few flat areas...a hill here and there. Inside I am fine.
and walking 5 miles at the FAIR...is enough exercise for a week.
ENJOY doing only what you please. Regards, Aria

We recently had to replace our OLD Pot belly stove at our Summer

Very nice

I order most of my needs online. I don’t drive, and nothing is nearby.
In a half full, humongous box (4X2), they placed a jumbo container of laundry detergent. The detergent leaked. Not much, just enough to be annoying. It also crushed my cereal flat. I didn’t care about the few dented and soap smeared items. I was mad about the cereal though. It’s been a pretty hard day already! That cereal was my supper!
And then I opened a box in the box. I thought they had just put something extra fragile in there.
I now have 16 pounds of raisins.
Guess who got over crushed cereal in a hurry?

Those raisins look like they are in nice sized packs also, score! Were the raisins part of your order? Do you have the option to complain to the company about the smashed cereal?

 

[BullChick]

Yes, I had forgotten that I ordered a 2 pound bag of raisins until I opened the box. I checked to see if I was charged for them to be sure.
I can complain about any damage, but they would just tell me to bring it to the store. It’s not worth saying anything.
Especially since I have $38 worth of raisins.
Now, what will I do with them?!

Raisin bread, raisin bagels, raisin in cereal, raisin (the reason for buying them!) in the pumpkin cookies, raisins in bread pudding...
I don’t like raisin in my oatmeal, but I do give the birds raisins.

It’s unfortunate, but rice pudding is another place I don’t like raisins. Or nutmeg, or cinnamon. I cannot say why. I’ve tried.
