Dear Reader,
There's a glob of mayonnaise sitting on top of my antique desk. It's intentional. I put two tablespoons of mayo on a paper towel, turned the towel over, and applied light pressure to the watermark on my desk.
It's not fair--that was my first thought. I followed the rules, "coastered" every bottle and glass before I set them down on my desk. But the water droplets from the sweating glass transferred
through the coaster to the top of my new antique desk anyway. Worthless coaster. How could this happen?
Can you believe everything you read on the Internet? I'm hoping I can believe the woman who recommended I smear mayonnaise on my desk and wait. Fifteen minutes, the timer is ticking. I keep peeking--lifting up the paper towel. The answer woman didn't mention anything about not peeking. It's always been difficult for me to wait.
Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one--the watermark is gone! It disappeared!
Isn't life--and mayonnaise wonderful?
Thanks for reading with me. It's so good to read with friends.
