Today we got up and after many domestic mishaps such as my spilling bacon grease on the kitchen floor (a real disaster, believe me, since Theo tried to blot it up with plastic bags and spread it all over, and it was a lot.)
So after we got it together (!) we decided to get out in the car on this beautiful day, to cheer ourselves up a bit. So we went to the Ninety-nine-Cents-Only store in National City, where there are wonderful things to be had if you just look a bit.
Now that we have left there, I just remembered ads for wonderful European Easter chocolates that they are selling. Did not think to look for them...Too bad; too late now.
Anyway we got a ton of wonderful produce and a few cans of no-salt tomatoes and beans, and a number of plastic items and some dishwashing soap. Total was twenty six dollars and something. Unbelieveable. Alas, when we got home we discovered that the soap had come open and gone all over a lot of the produce...lots more washing at home. And we are worried about the blueberries.
After we left the store, we came down to the J St. Marina in Chula Vista, where we looked at the many ducks of all ilks that were swarming around in the park, and the huge huge seagulls that were in the area where the slough comes out. Seagulls and ducks just seem to be getting bigger and bigger.Or I am getting paranoid.
Then we came home and ate a giant potato that had been baking the whole time we were gone and still had to be microwaved the full time (we ate one fourth of the potato each, folks)...plus three and a half each of some small green zucchinis that we bought at the Fresh and Easy last night....plus some pan broiled t-bone steak that was riddled with difficult tough connective tissue here and there in a most un-luxury- meat way from Ralphs...and are now resting to digest our feast, and to ponder our adventures.
