amazement that anyone still reads this.
channel 4 thinks the strike may end tonight. that would be cool, although the timing has more than sucked - we go on break for the next week and a half, so i've effectively missed the entire last week of school.
i need to get out of riverdale to someonewhere more normal, where i'm comfortable, where there are stores close by (why are there no bodegas here?), back to manhattan maybe.
or maybe i just need a nap.
the issue of the moment is we have no groceries, and when i went to make lunch, it turned out that the soup i was going to heat up was bad. so i ate a roll with cream cheese, like every day this week. i tried to order food, actually, but the place essentially yelled at me for speaking english, then told me they can't do deliveries due to the transit strike - after 3 different people took my order.
so, what am i raving so badly? a baked potato. a hot steamy baked potato, crisp golden skin on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside, with some cheese, broccoli, maybe sour cream. mmmm
instead i have granola bars and dry cereal ( no milk!). or i can make pasta again and eat it with ... hm. nothing?
gr. this is why i told my mother this morning to come over and bring food. who cares if it's a 2 hour drive?

ReplyDeletenaps are good. no food is not. are there really no local groceries in riverdale?
at least the strike is over and everything is finally back to normal.

ReplyDeletethere are local groceries, but the closest ones are about 10 blocks from here - not so far, just an annoying walk when tired, and a silly drive. riverdale is magially made up of one way streets and round-abouts and construction, so by the time yo9u drive there and park, you could have walked. essentially, i miss my corner bodegas.
