"Control Company 5043 Lanyard Mini Timer. Wear this countdown timer around your neck! Know at a glance the time remaining with this “never missing” timer on a 36-inch lanyard. Extraordinarily lightweight, it’s less than an ounce," gushes the blurb at Bodytronics: The Fitness SuperStore. A must for "aging boomers who burn stuff in the kitchen," declares our imail correspondent.
"I love to be quoted anonymously," our imail correspondent wrote this morning, and we quote:
We: What's that thing on your head?
She: LOL. How did you know about the timer on my ear? I'm making eleventy-two-hour pot roast, so it's going to be a long day.
We: Oh. Yummy. Have you ever considered the small timers you can wear on a necklace?
She: I didn't know they had such things, other than stop watches.
We: Let me check at Answers.com [No more Googling].
She: If they do have them, where can I get one? I think it would be a charming fashion statement, as well as a good fire-prevention measure.
We: Here's one for starters: Control Company 5043 Lanyard Mini Timer.
She: CUTE, and affordable. I like the part about "easy to read even with your glasses off." I guess they know their market: Aging boomers who burn stuff in the kitchen.
Every cook should have one.
Heh - what I need is a gas range instead of electric. Life has been much improved since we got our gas grill, but there are still things that need cooking on the stove top. *grin*
