I haven't blogged in a couple of days, and I was going throgh Blog Withdrawal.
The symptoms are that you start walking up to complete strangers and telling them things you have never told anyone before.
Saturday my step-grand daughter held a birthday party. I told her I would bring chips and salsa, it being Cinco de Mayo. They made BBQ ribs.
We stopped at Thriftway, because I stop in there on Tuesday mornings after my morning meeting and get chips and salsa. They have the best salsa ever (Chachi's) it's almost as good as my home made, and a lot less work.
I was walking through the Produce section when me sense of smell was slapped around by the odor of something good. I litterally stopped me in my tracks, and I followed my nose. You remember the old cartoons where the character would smell something good, and they would float in the air following the smell to its' source?
It was like that.
I followed it around a corner, and there was a large crock pot type of thing with a sign that said "Northwest Ciopino" and had a price list.
I lifted the lid and inhaled. A spicy mixture of seafood and tomatos hit me like pepper spray, only good. I grabbed a container and the ladle and filled it to the brim.
I made everyone wait while I ate it, because I was driving. It was wonderful.
When I picked up my salsa and chips this morning, I went and checked it out, and they must wait until just before lunch before they put it out.
I have a meeting about a block away tomorrow at 11:30. I'll bet you can figure out what I am having for lunch tomorrow.

Huh. They only serve coffee at MY meetings...
Rick : They ain't serving it, I'm buying it.
I know they sometimes have samples in the store I frequent and they can be quite good. I HATE going shopping when I'm hungry though...I end up buying lots of bad stuff! ;)
We do most of our grocery shopping at Sam's Club. If you get there around noon, they are giving away samples of all kinds of stuff. You can eat a whole meal while shopping.
