A Wikook by Tefal.It is a fast cooker. I got an aubergine coloured wikook.

Tefal's Wikook fast cooker heats food up to 25% faster than traditional cooking pots, saving up to 25% energy: less time on the hob, less energy used.
The Wikook is not just more convenient than traditional cooking, it also keeps more of the nutrients in your vegetables for healthier meals thanks to the very fast cooking process: its power lid locks in heat to accelerate cooking.

Interesting, is it like a pressure cooker "light"?
 
I ordered a new toaster and a snuggly blanket and some plastic storage boxes.

My toaster made the smoke alarm go off this morning as it decided not to pop up when the toast was done and the house was full of black smoke. It's scary really how easy it would be to start a fire.:sadnod:

I ran some errands on Wednesday.

I first went to a pharmacy in my neighborhood where I got some cough syrup with codeine back in February 2012. The cough syrup had gone bad and I was hoping they'd take it and dispose of it properly. I also had some OTC cough syrup which was kind of old and nasty-looking so I was hoping they'd dispose of that, also. Unfortunately I was told they didn't do that there. However, while I was there I noticed they had at the register something called a Magic Mat. This is a small item that you stick on the dashboard of your car, and you can put a cellphone or other items on it and it will stay! You can peel the thing off easily and put it away if you want, and then put it back on the dash and it will stay there. I had bought an earlier version of this item at Target many years ago and when it disintegrated because I just left it sitting in the sun, I went back to Target to get another one, but they didn't sell them anymore. I found the company's website and discovered one can order that and similar products directly from them, but I never got around to it. So when I saw it in the pharmacy today, I decided to buy one. I almost bought a second one as an extra or for a gift, but they charge $11 so I only got one.

I then headed off to the compounding pharmacy where I had gotten medicines for my cat Bear. The day he died, I returned what was left of the medicines and they were nice enough to take them back to dispose of them, so I was hoping they'd do the same with the medicines I had today, even though they didn't come from there. But the guy was so nice and took the stuff without making a fuss at all that I felt I had to buy a small item there as a thank you. They had these boxes of mints at the register. I don't know what the mints are like, but the boxes are decorative, with reproductions of famous artworks by Van Gogh and other artists. I picked out the box with one of Tenniel's illustrations from Alice in Wonderland, featuring Alice and the Cheshire Cat, and the words "We're All Mad Around Here" which I liked. It cost $6.95.

Since the pharmacy was in the same shopping center as a Rite-Aid drugstore (which would have been my next stop anyway if the compounding pharmacy hadn't taken the medicines I wanted to get rid of), I went into the drugstore and bought:

2 packages of pumpkin seeds
a couple packages of mini Snickers bars, on sale
a case of very small bottles of drinking water, small enough to fit nicely in my purse without being too heavy
underwear
1 package shelled pistachios, 1 coupon
2 packages shelf stable precooked rice, 1 coupon
2 large bags of raw almonds, 1 coupon
1 20 oz bottle of Diet Coke caffeine free and it was FREE with a coupon

I'm typing from memory so I think that's it.

After the drugstore I went on to the co-0p and bought:

1 magazine
1 small glass reusable water bottle
lettuce from the loose lettuce bin (sort of a bulk bin only with lettuce)
1 box of grilled seitan
1 bottle of fresh squeezed organic orange juice
1 small container of cooked quinoa from the hot bar
1 loaf sourdough whole wheat bread
1 seitan salad
2 pairs of tie-dyed socks
2 boxes of crackers, 1 coupon
1 box of Almond Breeze almond milk, 1 coupon
1 3-pack juice box size rice milk
1 bottle of Newman's Own balsamic vinaigrette, 1 coupon
1 bottle of Annie's balsamic vinaigrette
1 cup plain Greek yogurt
4 large bottles of drinking water
and a whole bunch of stuff for my fall exchange buddy :)
