Beverley Is Clairvoyant!
Just after we sat down to our pre-theater dinner there was a soft rap on the door! We have a really loud door bell but this was such a quiet knock only 2 of us heard it. Must be one of those soliciters.
Norm went to the door and comes back saying,"Janet ordered something again." But of course I hadn't and why would FedEx deliver at 7p.m.? I guess Beverly gets special service!
Anyway, there was no time to even figure out who it was from. We had to eat and run. And the play was a long one, so there was only time to load the dishwasher and go to bed.
But this morning I had a wonderful reward after putting away all the dishes. Three lovely packages all for me!
Bevely's note said that she felt she couldn't get me her favorite things "because they're little cheapo things I knew you already had." Well, maybe not, but as a collector of kitchen things I do have drawers full of gadgets. So, she goes on, "I sent you things that I would like to have."
Well, Beverly, I think anyone would like these things, but I am absolutely crazy about them. And in fact I have had thoughts about getting all 3 of these things in the last few weeks! Really!
From smallest to largest, the way I opened them.
I just spotted this large size bench scraper a week ago when I went to the restaurant supply store. I have 2 regular ones, plastic and stainless, that I use everyday to transfer things from the area where I chop, across the kitchen to my stove. And with a larger size I could actually get it all in one trip. But I resisted, I guess because Beverly already had one for me! I will use it everyday! (Or at least on the days when I cook!)
Can you believe that salt box was just unwrapped? Doesn't it look like it has always been in my kitchen? I always look at salt containers to replace the ugly plastic salsa/jam jar I use for salt & hide in the cupboard. I have never found one that looked good enough to keep out on the counter. But Beverly did!
Now the last gift was actually 2 boxes. And this is where the ESP thing gets really scary. In the last couple weeks I've had people to dinner about 4 times. And each time I've said I really need some small pretty bowls for side dishes on the table. I have lots of big bowls and platters but when there are just 3 or 4 of us they are too much. And I realized I could use a couple more stainless serving spoons. While swap shopping I found a couple perfect spoons and bought them. And Beverly bought the dishes!
They will go well with any dishes I use and are a perfect size for so many things. And they stack make it easy to store.
Here's everything.
I only wish my package was as perfect for my partner as these lovlies are for me. Beverly you are amazing! Thank you, thank you, thank you. Janet
