Work ran late tonight, and by the time Rudi and I decided we should run to the local shop for mozzarella (they were sold out at the farmers market on Sunday), it was just after 9. But they’d been open until 10 last week when Rudi went, so we weren’t worried. But, it turns out, that was a Wednesday, and today was a Tuesday, so we did without.<\/p>\n
It was a nice night, so we wandered around for a little, debating treating ourselves to Thai takeout or a gelato, but ultimately decided it made more fiscal sense just to cook supper at home and buy a container of ice cream for dessert over several nights.<\/p>\n
So, we walked up to Walgreens to see what they had on sale. But they’d closed at 9. (They used to be a Rite Aid and used to never close, so it continues to be a true surprise when we find they do now — and at random, early hours.)<\/p>\n
But that was fine, because Safeway is open until 11, and it was a nice night.<\/p>\n
We arrived at Safeway at 9:59 to find they’d changed their hours, too.<\/p>\n
So back to the neighborhood with no mozzarella and no ice cream.<\/p>\n
Would the ice cream parlor still be open, at least? (We were pretty sure we knew the answer by now…)<\/p>\n
