Where to get it in OKC

It is a frustrating state of affairs when the hurdle to doing a thing is not that the requisite product or service can't be had, but rather that you believe it is not available because you can't find it. To that end, this entry will be a compendium of my successful searches, and to the extent that they are provided to me, those of other contributors. ! denotes stores and services I use.

Product
Cheese - ! Mediterranean Import & Deli, 5620 N May, OKC, 405-810-9494. Dozens of exotic cheeses draw me in when I'm looking for something not available at the local MegaMart. They also have a great selection of olive oil, middle-eastern spices and condiments, as well as staples from the region. They have several different types of olives in barrels, but I don't eat those. The staff is knowledgeable.

Baking Supplies - ! Midwest Bakers Supply. - 2716 NW 10th St, OKC, 405-942-3489. If it has to do with baking, these folks have it (except for the flour, milk, and eggs). While it is true that you can get much of the bakers paraphernalia in the big box stores, if you want to get the good stuff, this is the place. Stuff like baked goods boxes, the round pieces of cardboard that go under the cake, the bride and groom for the top of, and supports like Ace uses to hold up the layers of that wedding cake; special sugars, or tins, or molds for that celebratory edible you're planning to make are all available herre. The staff is knowledgeable.

Service
Dentist - ! Dr. Ray Laverdierre, D.D.S. I like him, he's retired ex-Navy, very gentle and thorough. Spends plenty of time with the patient, and can get you in quick. He's on Delta Dental plans, and I got to him through the State employee health plan. Address is 8383 S Penn., 405-686-7970.

Small appliance repair - ! Appliance Services. 101 E Madison, OKC, 405-525-8862. This place is like a museum of mixers and toasters, and these folks are the curators. They do restoration and repair all those old electric (not electronic, they may do them, but I don't know about it) appliances, fans, and such that you already own and like. I took my near 100 year old waffle maker there, and they took care of me. It takes a little while, sometimes parts are hard to find. The prices seemed reasonable. Recycle, restore, repair, re-use; save the planet, man. The staff is knowledgeable.
