I do some of the cooking around here. Only seems fair, right? So far, I haven't poisoned anyone.
Tonight is one of my nights for dinner. I needed a few things. So I went to our local Safeway.
Now, shopping at this particular store usually is a mellow experience. It’s large, clean, very well stocked, and never crowded.
It was almost all those things this morning. Except that it was jammed with shoppers. The parking lot was full. That never happens. The checkout lines were long. That never happens. Even the self-checkout lines were long. I’ve never seen that before.
The place looked like Costco before the July 4 weekend. Shopper after shopper pushed carts loaded to the gunnels with essentials.
Me, I just needed a few things. Potatoes, capers, sardines, wine. Especially wine.
I brought all that stuff home with me. I mean, after all, it’s my night to cook.
I’m hoping I didn’t bring anything else home with me. We shall see.
