1. Just black coffee ☕ this morning. Saving

my appetite for my wife's family reunion at noon. Looking forward to all the sweet desserts.

2. Coffee with cream now

Cinnamon rolls with mixed berry yogurt later.

3. Rotten eggs in a few days, hey thanks Amazon, you are winners!

When I ordered 9/25 something to cook eggs, I agreed to pay $7 Shipping and Handling for a Sept 29 delivery date. All along including for most of Friday it said delivery expected by 10 pm Sept 29. Now they tell me we're sorry, delivery expected Sept 30 - Oct 3. Not a word about refunding the $7 S&H I paid. Now I have to be watchful hawkeye for several more days to get the package before the porch pirates.

(On the same day Friday I spent 1 1/2 hours fighting to get into my Chase account with an obtuse customer rep who has no conception that their new security software might be other-than-flawless -- another story )

Anyway the Amazon order expected yesterday has something I was hoping to use to cook hard boiled eggs according to Hoyle Hard Boiled Eggs thread a couple days ago but I guess not. So I wait and wait.

For now, at 516 AM local time, I haven't begun to think about breakfast, but its time to plan. I'm reducing my inventory of a too-big order of hamburger, so I'm likely to do something with that. Had my 423 AM coffee though. I plan a quick toast and jelly about now with the impossible-to-squeeze jelly squeezie bottle.

5. Stop buying squeeze bottles. They are a pain.

6. Yes. I had not bought jam/jelly for a long time and never ordered online

so I wasn't thinking. I've been ill the last 2 months so I've been ordering all my groceries online for home delivery (previously never ordered groceries online as carrying groceries home was part of my jog/exercise routine).

7. thought about you when I saw this in Trader Joe's

a new kind of ketchup in a glass jar. Didn't know you had been ill and had suspended your shopping temporarily.

Glass jar ketchup black summer truffle. Doesn't sound as if you'll be able to try it.

Re Amazon, call them and ask for a credit. They can see the delivery changes. They're good about credits under those conditions.

9. Thanks for the info - I found Amazon's number

from AARP and other dependable sources and old notes
888-280-4331

10. The package arrived today, one day past the promised day

I think I will give them a break and not dispute the shipping charge since it was delivered well before the expected dates I was given for free delivery (I'm not a Prime member).

[progree]

11. We noticed your recent delivery from Amazon was delivered late, so we've issued a $7.24 gift card

to your account for the shipping charges.

These funds will be available for you to use on your next order."

That's a nice surprise. As indicated in #10 above, I didn't say anything about it.

[NJCher]

12. that's terrific!

doubly so because you didn't have to call or do anything.

[Callalily]

4. Coffee now, of course.

Think that I'll have some cottage cheese a little later.

[NJCher]

8. made tea from garden spearmint leaves

then I mixed it with Japanese tea "Genmaicha."

Genmaicha tea is a type of Japanese tea infusion--blend of bancha green tea and roasted brown rice.

Mandarin slices, toasted almonds, a little cottage cheese, and a toasted waffle with olive oil butter.
