MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
So, I sit down at the finally cleared off kitchen table to make sure I’ve got everything together to make the Christmas ham and other stuff. I get started with roasting the garlic for the mashed potatoes with roasted garlic and I pull out the aluminum foil and find I’ve barely got enough to wrap these two heads of garlic in… then I tie up the garbage before it starts to overflow and replace the bag, that’s the last garbage bag. THEN I discover that I have no heavy cream….well…I’ve got some but it expired on Dec 3rd and when you shake it, it makes no sloshy noise that liquid in a container SHOULD make, and that’s just really gross…can’t use that, even if I’m not eating the mashed potatoes. Then…I think I’ll make the pumpkin roll I’ve been planning on since last Christmas…no flour…
Yeah, I think you’re getting the picture.
My list:
Trash bags
Foil
Flour
Heavy Cream
Orange Juice
Off I go assuming that either Jewel or Dominicks (both are like 5 min away, but in opposite directions) will be open until at LEAST 10am… I get to Jewel (my best bet) and there is only ONE car in the lot, and that car looks like it probably wouldn’t start in the summer without prayers… UGH…. Off to Dominicks. There isn’t even a dead car in the parking lot there…ARUGH… So, it’s on to the gas station which IS open. I figure at the very least they’ll have the OJ and maybe I can use half & half instead of heavy cream….cream is cream right? This isn’t baking, it’s mashed potatoes. I should be OK, and we just can’t tie up the garbage until tomorrow, the pumpkin roll will just have to wait another day, and the foil…well, I guess I’m foil-less until tomorrow…not that I want to go anywhere tomorrow but I’ll live, and that’ll teach me to wait until Christmas morning to sit down and check my stock….
I can’t believe that NEITHER major grocery store is open for even a couple of hours today…Piece of crap…BAH!
So, Merry Christmas everyone! OH….and I’ll probably be silent for a while here, cuz I got City of Villains today…. bwahahahah!
