I was awake at 5 AM and turned on the TV. They were doing that infernal
informercial for the NuWave induction cooker. I have always wanted one,
but Barry had a pacemaker and was leery.

I called in. I was able to make one payment of $99.99 plus another
$29.95 in shipping for just the cook top and the free recipe book.
Everything else "free" was another $29.95 in shipping. The pressure
cooker was $50 plus another $29.95 in shipping. For that kind of money,
I can get something a lot better.

I certainly didn't need two cook tops or their pots. Mine are stainless
so they will work.

Then the guy tried to send me some "free" gift cards to Walmart and
Target but I would have to pay $4.95 for each of two buying "clubs" to
get the cards. I passed on that, too.

The cook top is scheduled for delivery tomorrow (It better be for those
outrageous charges). I did ask for a slower method of shipping, but
that's the only one they offered.

I will start experimenting with it and let you all know what I think of
it. I get to use it for 90 days and can return it if I don't like it.
