The Pick Up: Awaiting the Goodies

This was for December, 7th 2012. Refer to Mondays post to see what I ordered to be picked up today. The event from my perspective was "I want to go to Purple Porch too to talks to my peeps." "{the boy} has homework to work on." "OK, I'll stay home. W. Make sure you check the list." So, I stayed home and distracted the boy from his research project by looking up tangential things I was curious about rather than what was on his pesky homework sheet to be answered.

When I don't go our oldest daughter does the rounds and picks up the goodies while Tama schmoozes. W. takes great pride in picking out such things as our onions and does a better job than her mom at checking to make sure we get everything we ordered.

When they got home, I was waiting in eager anticipation to see the goodies I ordered. Everything came in that I had ordered. Yay! The only weird thing was the andoullie sausage (which is cajun style and is da' bomb) was in links rather than bulk as I had ordered. It's all good since Chris & Michelle charged us the bulk rate since it was the processors fault and I can still cook it up. Just means it's more likely to be for brekky than as an ingredient during the course of the week. Fine. Tama also bought some additional cookies and some bread. Unfortunately, I don't know where the bread is from except that it's not the Fair's, Ceres & Co., or J2K (which I do purchase bread from all three on a regular basis). It comes in aluminum foil and looks as though it was made in a bread machine.

So, although I didn't get the benefit of seeing all the nice people at the Porch, or catch up on farmer chic for Fall this year (which I wouldn't have noticed even if I had gone) the pick up was a success.
