You know what? Fuck this. I was planning on making maple-bourbon seared sea scallops with squash soup for dinner tonight. I get to Stop and Shop, and they have no sea scallops. I'm pissed, but I get a nice-looking cod loin, figuring I can give it a similar preparation. I get two delicata squash for the squash soup. I'm at the checkout, and I'm bagging my stuff. The guy gives me my total before I'm done bagging, so I pause in my bagging to pay. He throws the rest of my stuff in my bags, or so I think. I get home, I get ready to cut the squash in half to cook them, and...no squash. Yes, they're there on the receipt. Fuck fuck fuck. So no scallops and no squash. It's 7:30, I didn't have a proper lunch, and I'm ravenous, and I have no fucking desire to run back to the store and get the squash and come back. It'd be 8:00 before I even START cooking dinner.

Oh hey...hang on a sec. I have a can of pumpkin in the cupboard. OK. Not what I really wanted, but you know what? It's faster, and it's better than resorting to carrot soup, for which I'm not really in the mood. OK. Fine. Dinner isn't ENTIRELY ruined. Whew. Still, though. Bleah.

At least I got to hang out and knit with two good friends, a cute baby, and some cute kitties today.

sounds better than my day

ps. call the store tonight. tell them what happened, and explain you cannot come back tonight. this way you have a good chance of having people there who go "yup, the lady left the squash" instead of by tomorrow... "who?"

but it was left FOR her... they should PAY :>

i left some shit at a store once, and they looked up my name from the charge, as i was local, and called me to let me know that they had just closed, and it was waiting in a bag for me with my name... nice.

also: maple-bourbon seared sea scallops? swoon.

I had no idea that cod had loins. I thought you needed legs???
