So I pulled one out, a golden aurora, and proceeded to clean it off. Still sitting in my bed, I took a huge bite...and then remembered I didn't have my teeth in. So I have two teeth on the top on each side way at the back. I have one tooth on each side way at the back on the bottom. And four front teeth on the bottom. Thats it. I didn't want to get up. So I ate that sucker with basically hardly any teeth. It was hard and took forever but I finally did it! This morning my gums are sore.
A couple of nights ago, around three in the morning I was rudely awakened by shouting, running feet and what I swear was gun shots. Suddenly there were screeching tires and sirens and lights flashing. I am up on the third floor.
I dashed out onto their deck here and peeped over the side, carefully, I was leery of stray bullets at this point. Things calmed down a little and I could see a man laying out just below...looking dead. Some of the cops kept running down the alley and out of sight. After a few minutes an ambulance arrived and they rushed over to the layed out dude. They worked on him for a long time and then finally put him on a stretcher and into the ambulance...not covered so not dead. Then the cops hopped into their vehicles and took off. Voila! Done. Back to bed.
Whole Foods. What can I say? I am aware that they have been bought by someone that promises to make it more usable. I get it that some of their stuff is going to be a little more pricey because it isn't main stream. But some things just don't make sense to me, other than its just a cheesy price grab.
For example: their roast chicken. Their roast chicken is fourteen bucks. FOURTEEN!!! Costco's, which are free range healthy chickens, are 8 bucks. Safeway's are 8, Superstore's are 8. Whole Foods are almost double!
They have zero pop...no coke, no pepsi, no ginger ale etc... But they have aisles of sugar loaded juice and other trendy drinks...drinks that are even less healthy than soda pop.
They have aisles of hot cooked food and different size boxes you fill. They charge by the ounce. I went along and had a good look. Its all variations of vegetable and healthy versions of normal food. The stuffing was bread of course, but also fruit and nuts! Bleh!!! They must have had five different versions of Brussels's sprouts. And what the hell is with chick peas? And sweet potatoes instead of real ones. Oh, and five or six variations of squash. It was the oddest most unappealing line up of food choices I have ever seen.
But...Whole Foods saving grace is in one item they sell. And that is butter. Its a butter made in Quebec. On a whim I bought it. 5.69 for a half pound (if that). I brought it home along with a small baguette.
The moment I opened that jar I could tell by the smell that finally I found a butter equal to the butter in France. It was divine!!!! I bought one for each of the girls and tomorrow I am going back to buy a few to take home with me. I am going to take a picture of the little pot it comes in. Totally reusable and cute.
Yesterday I headed over to April's. Myles had to work so she and headed out to find dinner somewhere. That somewhere ended up being the Cheshire Cheese...all food english, down at the Quay. Their menu has not changed in over thirty years. Bill and I used to go their on occasion when our office was at the Quay.
They serve Poughman's Lunch, Fisherman's Pie (my fave), steak and kidney pie, bangers and mash, fish and chips, etc.....
Well I got my fave, fish pie but April ordered something called Toad in a Hole. Its a sausage sticking out of yorkshire pudding covered in gravy. There is no way can I decently describe the dish that arrived, not without being graphically rude. Jeez we had a hard time not looking shocked then not laughing rudely. So I shall post a pic at the bottom! The meal was delicious and I had such a good time! I always do with her. TTYL
