My World of Wonders, aka The Wednesday Ws August 6, 2025

 

Where have I been this week?  Aldi, the farmers market, out to lunch at our favorite Vietnamese place, Sur la Table for a new pepper grinder for the kitchen, have my hair cut, Amazon Fresh, the Mercedes dealer, the community center several times, the gym, and the pool, 

Who have I talk with this week? Lots of people. We hosted the first Friday LGBT gathering as a pool party, Ana, Susan, Rafael, Giuseppe, and Larry. I was at a couple of Arts events, Joan, Priteba, Jon, Guido, Kevin, and several others that I don't remember the names of.  At water aerobics Ruth, Paul, Renee and Warren. 

What have I been up to in the kitchen?  Ham - Mac and Cheese, pot-roast, pickles, and a pumpkin-raisin loaf. 

What made me go Huh! this week? The FDA issued a recall of 60,000+ pounds of "butter blend." The reason, it contained butter - more specifically milk was not listed in the ingredients. Wouldn't you assume that something labeled as butter blend, would contain butter? 

Where am I off to next? Toronto on Thursday for a very short trip. 

What have I been reading? Reading has been slow, Purple Crayons is the current book. It is okay, but not great. 

What have I been listening to this week? Streaming background music on YouTube. 

What travel am I planning?  I booked another hotel for next spring's great adventure.  I have not been in Paris in over 20 years.  I was still using a film camera the last time. I dropped it lens down on a stone floor in the Louvre and broke the lens.  I bought a replacement lens in a camera shop across the street from the hotel the next morning.  I still have the camera, the last time I put a battery in it, it still works. 

What made me smile this week? Trading emails with one of our favorite bloggers, and discovering the commonalities in our DVD collections.  Not houseboys as you might expect, but BBC comedies like Waiting for God, which one of us is more like Diana?

  1. You've been very social, and that's a good thing.
    Yes, I would think butter blend may contain traces of butter, probably not much though.
