Might have to stop cooking

[rdmc]

Sometime when you are placing an online order, get one of these little jewels: Polder 898-90 Clock, Timer & Stopwatch. Amazon has them for about $10.

I use mine all the time for cooking, but have been amazed at how many times a day I use it for other reminders. I am often surprised when I hear it go off, but am quickly spurred in action to do something I would have forgotten!

It even comes with a little neck lanyard so you don't have to keep track of the timer when you're using it. That's a nice fool-proofer for folks like us...

Thanks for the tip. I bought one of the timer's you mentioned from Amazon, and it's a great thing to have. I wear it on the lanyard, and that way, I can be in another area of the house, and not have to worry about hearing the stove timer...the beeping alarm can't be missed
(I'm not sure my dog is as enthusiastic as I am, every time it beeps, it startles the dog and he jumps up to run away from it.)
