Cuisinart stick blender. Most love the dog not bothering. The story reminded me of a dominoes' line collapsing. Breathless. It had to be upsetting, too, to have to leave the dog, not well, for a consumer product. We all, I bet, have days like it. C.
I love how you take a seemingly small incident & elevate into a fabulous, funny (I read the first couple of paragraphs to an amused Barry this morning) treatise on the human condition. Made me ache for my childhood, when my mom would carefully read Consumer Reports before making a brick & mortar purchase... today's world is a goofy, bastardized version of this. But I too have been Amazon-free for weeks & am always on the prowl for those remaining mom & pop shops. Thanks on so many levels, Paul!
Thanks, El. There will be more, possibly including my current imbroglio with Amazon. Maybe I should become a consumer advocate. Maybe I already am. Activism starts at home.
BEST description! "I watched a splatter the size of Utah blow across the countertop, stove, wall and ceiling. A glorious mix of bananas, blueberries, oat milk, and some weird-ass protein powder - an instant Jackson Pollock. "
can't wait for "the rest of the story!"
Thanks, Tabby!
