Scene and heard

I’m having some people over tomorrow for Buffalo Wings, English Chips, Veggies and Dip, Pico de Gallo and Guacamole – all home prepared. I needed to buy a lot of stuff today. I packed the few things I bought at Trader Joe’s into my travel bag then went into the nearby competition – Whole Foods. They are way more expensive, but also have a much better selection – more’s the pity! I had written out a lengthy shopping list, then left it at work. Very helpful there!!!

I was so overloaded with bags that I needed to swipe my Metrocard, then pick up my shopping bags and proceed through the turnstile towards the subway platform. Not caring or thinking, a man was about to exit the turnstile I was entering through. “No, no! I just swiped my card through!” (Does anyone know if I would have lost my money if he had come the other way?) As he exited through the next turnstile, he called me an asshole, while picking up speed away from me. Big, brave man!! Big fucking mouth without the brain or balls to back it up!

One of the items on my list was salt. I was in Whole Foods, so I might as well get the Sea Salt. There’s the store brand for a dollar something, and ‘organic sea salt’ for almost $4. Organic Sea Salt? Does that come from the Organic Sea? I didn’t learn about that one in school. Perhaps bought by the same people who shop at Pottery Barn – the ‘if it’s expensive, it must be good’ crowd?
