mamadebMost (not all) perishables purchased. Including, btw, a shankbone. And a fresh turkey.
I am a bit angry. I live on the top floor of a two family. My landlady knows my doorbell is broken but hasn't fixed it. Therefore, I can't get grocery deliveries - especially now when they won't check to see that they should call me. I have a shopping cart, so I can transport the groceries home, but then I have a stoop and a flight of stairs - and quite frankly, the cart was creaking under the weight of all I'd purchased today - meat, dairy and veggies are HEAVY. Lots of water in those. I ended up carrying the bags up the stoop into the foyer in three trips (trip number three including the cart) and then three trips upstairs. I'm quite willing to pay for strong young men to carry that stuff upstairs for me. But they won't if I don't have a doorbell.
Also, I dropped the pretty mocha apricot cake, so it's very UNpretty now. *sigh*
I'm just glad it wasn't the 3 dozen eggs.
Which probably aren't enough.
Anyway, the counters are covered, the plates are out and I have giant pot of water boiling now. When it boils, I'll kasher all the burners, let it cool and then cover the stove. And then I'll boil a tea kettle of water and kasher my sink. And then - dishdrainers and sponges and utensils and I will be done. So, not so long from now. Yay.
