Whole Foods, You Complete Me

Is it possible to have an orgasm from seeing fresh produce for the first time in weeks? I'm not exactly a health nut, but when I walked into Whole Foods this morning, I almost wanted to grope the scallions. Feel free to judge me, I don't care. You try living in a city with no decent grocery stores. Then we'll see how well you survive off of ramen and peanut butter. Plus I love cooking. And our pots/pans SUCK, so...I'm having serious withdrawals. Like a sex addict would, I imagine.

So I stocked up on apples, bananas, peaches, scallions, garlic, onion, potatoes, salmon, orange juice, hummus, rosemary crackers, red pepper, chicken thighs, cooking sherry - oh snap I'm drooling right now.

This evening I thought to myself "You know what? I'm gonna go to Mass! Gotta hear something inspiring for once!" So I looked up St Peter's church on Google, found a 5 PM mass, and skipped off on my merry way.

Not only was there NO mass at 5 PM, but the church was CLOSED. What the HELL kind of church is locked up on a Sunday? The trip home was also depressing. A drug addict started to yell at me on the train platform. I don't know what he was yelling (Ipod) but when I casually pulled the mace can out of my purse he backed off pretty quickly.

On the way home, all trains were being diverted due to "an emergency on the Red Line". I heard ambulances blaring through the streets. Dunno what all that was about. I'll look it up as soon as I post this...

*update* - Yeah. Pretty gnarly fire in the Red Line.
