It's still New York no matter how nice it is...
This afternoon Laura and I went out to Chelsea Market (snazzy upscale Wholefoods-ish kind of group of stores) to get some cooking stuff. Laura has been on a cooking kick recently (I can't even tell you how many "30 Minute Meals" are on my DVR) so we ended up getting a new fry-pan and lots of food. So at one point we decided that we should stop and get some lunch. So we sat down to eat lunch outside this little seafood market thing. After finishing eating, I stupidly left my umbrella (nice big golf umbrella...well, not nice, but it was big) and we started to walk away. We literally got maybe 30 yards away and realized that we didn't have the umbrella, so we walked back to get it. Of course....it was gone, and of course it was pouring rain out, so that made for a nice time walking to the train with bags of food in the rain. It wasn't all that much of a good time, I have to tell you.
So we also stopped at a little grocery store across the way in order to get ground turkey (which looks like nasty ground up brains) for breakfast stuff tomorrow. So we got in line to pay for the $1.27 worth of ground turkey, which was amazingly like a pound and a half (what a deal!) anyway. So from behind us, up walks this obese man. And I'm talking like a solid 6-7 months away from being a shut in. God help him if he ever realizes that he can get his groceries delivered. At first, I didn't want to judge him, I mean he could have a thyroid problem or whatever, so I didn't really think about it, then he started to put his food up on the counter. Up came two large bags of Cheetos, 2 bags of 'spicy' pork rinds, a BOX of glazed doughnuts (I believe it was a 20 pack), numerous sugary drinks and whatnot. It became very obvious as to why this man resembled the Stay-Puff Marshmallow man. Ugh. Oh well, at least I'm a solid few years away from that state.
