Just walked to the grocery store and can't help but giggle because it feels so weird. Walk in thinking I have a list of things I can for sure find... wander to the frozen food section looking for steam-in-the-bag broccoli and then remember- oh wait we don't have a microwave. Then try my luck at finding frozen fish in a bag, no such luck. Try to find ground turkey meat. See packages that say organic chicken- air cooled. air-cooled what on earth does that mean and why do I care if my chicken has been air-cooled. Continue walking around giggling like a crazy person because the food and people are all weirdos. Finally I attempt to find the cheapest fish in the fish section, they only have where there are display cases and you have to ask for the meat/fish. Nothing is pre-packaged, continue giggling because everyone looks like hippies and the place is packed and it is 1:00 on Monday... and I am wearing my BBQ shirt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Paw Paw tried to send you a comment, but it did not go through. So I will tell you what he said. "I hope you do not turn into a vegan or organic freak What's the matter with those people over there, don't they sell crawfish in that Berkeley Bowl???" I suppose California is one of the most progressive of our states, especially a college town like Berkeley. It attracts all sorts of weirdos. There is nothing wrong with them, they are just different from regular people. At least you are having fun!
ReplyDeleteIt is fun! I love reading y'alls comments. This is supposed to be the most liberal place in the US, so John and I are just having a little culture shock.
