Perfection
Oprah does a "favorites" show where she gives the audience one of each of her favorite things.  I'm not going to be doing that.

Lately, though, I've been making a mental note of things that are my idea of perfection in their classification.  I have no idea why.  At any rate, at my age, I decided that writing things down is really a better plan than mentally noting!  In fact, I'll probably have to keep adding to this extremely disparate list because I'll never remember them all.   I invite you to add you own ideas of perfection on your own blogs and send me a link:

The perfect diet soda - Diet Cherry Coke.  It just doesn't get any better than this -- not even the real thing. 

The perfect non-fat, no sugar-added yogurt - Krogers brand coconut cream pie.  A dollop of sugar-free whipping cream and I swoon just thinking about it.

The perfect mouthful of food - Spicy Crunchy Tuna Roll.  It has softness, crunch, it is spicy, and well, it is sushi!

The perfect coffee, fully loaded - Trader Joe's French Roast.

The perfect decaf coffee - Fresh Market's orange.  It really tastes delightfully of cardamom.

The perfect place to buy books online - www.half.com.  None of that pesky bidding, and you can choose what condition you can put up with to manipulate the price.

The perfect travel book - Fodor's.  You get suggested routes for touring, restaurant reviews, hotel reviews, tips and pointers you would have never dreamed of inquiring about.  We don't travel anywhere new without one.  These books have never let us down.  Okay, well hardly ever.  There was that hotel in Germany that was pricier than the book said, and that dump in Rome...

The perfect time-saving device - DVR (I think this is similar to Tivo).  I never waste time sitting around watching my favorite shows on the schedule of the stations that program them.  Now I waste time sitting around watching my favorite shows when it is convenient for me

More to come.
