    How long would you wait...

    We are Kaiser customers. It is generally expected that we should arrive 15 minutes before a scheduled appointment time. Works well, seldom wait much longer than the 15 minutes, often less.

    Do you have an Air Fryer?

    We have a Breville counter top oven with a built in fan. I like the Breville and seldom, if ever, use the oven in our stove, although a microwave installed above the stove also gets frequent use.

Then, as time...
