after last week’s surprise package of tempting treats
another food surprise arrived
a couple of breakfast meals
seem to have fallen from the sky
right to my front door
this time delivered by grub hub
with no address on the receipt
delivered in the morning when i was at school
huge portions of pancakes and eggs benedict
i’m sure they were hot and delicious when they arrived
another set of challenges to my healthy eating
testing my temptation limits
is my door the common delivery area for every address on my street?
what will appear next?
should i leave snacks and drinks out for all of the delivery people yet to come?

Pancakes are good, but not every day, only once in a while…Have a great Sunday Beth!

Some hungry soul with an address very similar to yours is going around muttering these days, Beth. What a mystery! Have you taken to that neighborhood social media platform you sometimes mention to post about the dilemma? Or is that too much localized sharing …

I don’t think they’re connected, because one came from a national delivery firm who picked up things from a grocery and delivered to the wrong address, having just juxtaposed 2 numerals and they redelivered to the real buyer. the second one was from grub hub, just a breakfast delivery from a local restaurant. different driver, different company, no address, and if someone actually knew me, they’d never deliver breakfast on a school day when I’m at work. the real buyer from the 1st delivery had to have corrected her/his address to receive the replacement delivery and I doubt they would make the same mistake again with another company in such a short time. #food-detective

2 different delivery sources, one a national chain with a delivery from a grocery who just mixed up a number in the address and redelivered. the other from a local restaurant through a local grub hub driver. perhaps the person ordering does not know their address of thinks they live with me?)

it’s the weirdest situation, first one was just an address error, second an error as well, as I’m always at school on a weekday and anyone who knows me wouldn’t have ordered me 2 hot breakfasts to be left outside for 9 hours.

Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth. Besides, it would be cold and inedible by the time you found the owner.
