A Close Shave with Ronald McDonald

Raul Matthew and I went to Lowes to look for a gas burner so that we can start doing some serious wokking. We wanted something that looks like the back end of an F-15, to use the wording of Alton Brown. This burner wasn’t sold separately, so there I was taking apart a turkey deep fryer in the middle of the aisle and reading the directions to see if it was up to the wokking task. It was. Now I just need to figure out what to do for the propane tank part. I’m guessing I’ll just buy my own tank and have it filled at those places—wherever they are—that do such things. After my son tired of hosting a cooking show back in the kitchen cabinet area of Lowes, we left there and headed to McDonalds—my son’s choice (even though he said he was “full” a mere 5 minutes before when I suggested that we pick up some Chinese food).

So we were in line at the McDonalds near campus when I looked up and saw a bottle of Colgate shaving cream in one of the higher up windows that was between the first and second drive through windows. This got me thinking a number of thoughts that the marketing people at McD’s didn’t anticipate. Enough about that.

What really surprised me were the double pink lines I saw when I got home.
