Yesterday I bought a kitchen cart at Target. Correction: I bought a box containing parts that theoretically become a kitchen cart. I was seduced by the towel bar, the stainless silver drawer pulls, the selection of drawers and shelves. And being seduced, I convinced myself that I would be able to assemble the cart. Myself.
I have little interest in any televised sport.
Which brings me to Lance Armstrong.
I forgot that I have no mechanical ability whatsoever. Until about 45 minutes into the project, when I put the wrong screw into the towel bar, and couldn’t get it out.
I stared at the screws and the bolts and the panels and the directions with no words, only pictures of teeny tiny screws that all looked the same, and I realized there was not a snowball’s chance in hell that I would get these pieces to turn themsleves into a kitchen cart. So I decided I would return said item and shop for an already-constructed used kitchen cart on Craigslist.
But first, I needed to douse my frustration with some ice cream. Topped by Trader Joe’s Fleur de Sel Caramel Sauce. My new favorite best thing ever.
By the way, if anyone has a 2′ by 3′ kitchen cart they’d like to unload, please let me know.
Today I’m thankful for Trader Joe’s Fleur de Sel Caramel Sauce.
Caramel is food from heaven, no doubt about it. Hope you find a kitchen cart you like!
Don’t forget the peanut butter…Great with ice cream. Even better with caramel!
Maybe you should have had the ice cream first?
Beyond ice cream, I think it’s great to take time out to just enjoy the simple things in life. Especially after surviving divorce!
So what is the ‘fleur de sel’ – which means flower of salt – in this context? Not that it doesn’t sound delicious…
Salted Caramel, basically.
