Sounds yummy. I'd have maybe tried to restrict myself to one or two, trying to make sure that if it were only one, I'd get it at
Commander's.
Good choice. There are a few dishes that I'd
always been happy to spend the pills on, caramel
custard/creme brulee/flan being among them.
A good one is well worth the pills, a bad one, not so.
Exact.
The real appeal of this island was that at
close to 100 lb and no wheels, it was a
real table workplace for tasks that required
real table stability.
Sounds good to me. Our butler has a leaf that runs the length of it by
about 18" wide, folds down when not in use, that is handy when we need a
bit more counter space for a cooling rack or whatever.
A pullout or folddown can be a great solution
for where space is at a premium.
them. > ML> There's that "well" thing again.
What word would you use?
I'd be leery of making a value judgment in
such a situation. I almost wrote "incapable,"
but I would be idealizing me.
That's where you get a second opinion from someone who you trust to be
honest in such.
Nope, I don't bother with such. Though I'm
thinking of wearing my shirt with the black squares
with a peculiar tie for my semi-formal event tonight.
P.S. Edited to add: did so.

See, even here there will be no unanimity,
Your closest and dearest might share your
sartorial tastes, but someone from outer
Timbuctoo or Norway could easily not.
So the latter person might be more honest as to what looks good or not
on you.
Or have a completely different idea, honesty
not necessarily entering into the equation at
all. There are those who would think black and
orange go together even when it's not Halloween.
So I'd say, in my aesthetic, brown slacks
just plain don't look good. For me, brown
shouldn't be a color. I have a lovely pair
of brown pants that I bought because the
fabric felt good against my skin, and it was
on sale. Never wore them, though once in a
while I still try them on ... and then say, nah.
Sounds like brown may not be a color that works well for you then. What
about colors like golden yellow or orange? If they don't look good (in
your opinion or others) on you, then you're not an autumn.
I generally don't take into consideration what
other people think looks good. I don't like
those colors on anyone.

Ideally, that would be my modus operandi, but
sometimes things prevent that (which of course
causes anxiety). For this last trip I packed up
a nice assortment of warm-weather duds and then
discovered that the weather in Hong Kong was going
to be 10 degrees cooler than previously forecast,
so that idea was out the window.
Pack clothes you can layer easily.
Sure, and a minimum of them. The funny thing
is I almost never end up bothering to layer
even when the raw materials are in my suitcase.

Life, meet irony.
I know, in this case, we were on our way to the funeral but were in the accident. Got to the post internment meal as everybody else was finishing--some stayed around to keep us company while we ordered
something for take out. Also got a ride back to my aunt's house where
our truck and camper were parked. But, now we're going to always travel
with something suitable for similar occaisions.
Twice I was blindsided by funerals. On one I was
on my way to a rehearsal and the death of a friend
of mine was in the paper, so I went and borrowed
a jacket that didn't fit and a tie that didn't
match (of course, given the above discussion you
know that the nonfit bothered me and the nonmatch
didn't); lucky the others in the quartet also
knew the guy, and the husband of one of them had
a spare jacket at all to lend. The other I did have
a jacket and tie but ended up being the only man
present who wasn't wearing a tuxedo - that was in
Berlin, and no way am I going to travel with a tux
just in case someone should die during my travels.
