Is it just me or...

Today, I received in the snail mail, a single sheet of paper telling me my tax return had been filed electronically. WTF? Stamps aren't free or cheap. Email works a lot faster. Holy crap.

A long while back, they served fried okra on the dinner buffet and it was fabulous. I bought extra and froze it then heated it up in the air fryer. It was better than fabulous. I love fried okra but I hate cutting it, breading it and frying it. So, on a whim, I asked the food and bev people if I could buy a batch of fried okra. I didn't care when, I didn't care how much. They said 'sure' just let us know when you are ready. Then I went on Wegovy and I wanted to wait a bit to see how that would go.

Finally, last week, I emailed that I was ready. They said $15 for 3 lbs. I said great. And today they made it happen. 6 gynormous bags of fried okra. For $15!!!



I put 5 in the freezer and pulled out 3 handfuls to crisp up for lunch. 2 would have been plenty. But so yum.

What a happy camper am I???!!!!

The mind boggles! Boggles, I tell u!

For all the times you are meh about the offerings for meals there, it does seem like they have some gems, AND are pretty darned willing to do "special" requests for the residents - so that is pretty cool!

100% and even at meh, it beats the crap out of doing it all myself!

That kind of thing makes me so happy. I did the same with mini-potstickers. Bought a bunch of frozen ones from an Asian market, and loved them until I got tired of them. It's so nice knowing something you really enjoy is only a few steps away, any time you want them.
