Tuesday at lunch I continued the great enamel-covered cast iron dutch oven hunt. I already looked at William-Sonoma and their price was $239.00! But, the saleswoman explained each pot and lid were sand cast and the molds were broken to get them out, so you are really getting a unique piece. I didn't see the value in it, so she mentioned there were some on the back "Clearance" table. Excited, I went back to look. Yes, they were there and yes, their price was reduced - to $179.00! I declined again and so she told me (sotto voce) that you could get a cheap one at Target.
But, I researched online at Bed, Bath and Beyond and they had one by Emeril for $59.00 (and I had a 20% off coupon). So, B___ and I headed there after eating. Wrongo! They have them online, but the only ones in the store is a Calphalon one for $129.00! I passed again and, since we still had time, we went to Target (I give up). I found one there for $39.00 and bought it.
Just after I got home, Jake and Carla arrived. After a lot of discussion, we decided to order pizza for dinner. We loaded up our plates and headed off to watch our respective TV's.
Wrong post, but it just occurred to me: Why is your grandson Joe going to Virginia. Shouldn't he be starting school?
ReplyDeleteSeveral years back, Michigan passed a law requiring all schools to not start until AFTER Labor Day (it was supposed to help tourism). So, Joe will be back in plenty of time (unless he has a lot of school shopping to do, lol!)
ReplyDeleteHere in Ohio, our schools started yesterday, August 22.
ReplyDeleteLooks like most people in the South start the first or second week of August.
ReplyDeleteThere's a joke in there somewhere, but I wouldn't touch it with a 10-foot pole!
