Food, Glorious Food

So, because it is summer, I have been wanting more fruits and vegetables and light yummy things. And earlier, in quest of cheap lunch options at the store, I had acquired some pita bread. So I thought I would make some yogurt sauce. Last night, I went out to buy cucumbers and yogurt to make said sauce. The Giant was out of plain yogurt, because they were getting ready to move. To the new, beautiful Giant. Which opened today. I stopped there on the way home. It was glorious. Nothing compared to the DeWitt Wegmans or anything, but compared to the local small grocery stores, it was huge. And nice and big. They had organic produce, and gormet cheeses, wine, beer, cider, and, much to my delight, Pierogies! So I bought some yogurt (I have made aforementioned yogurt sauce, and it was very yummy!), and some pierogie (which will be tonight's dinner), and some hard cider (to be enjoyed with the pierogie), some goat cheese, some strawberries (to go with the whipped cream I have left over from when I took strawberries and cream to the PBK picnic), some plums. I have cucumbers and carrots, and baby spinach. No meat. I'm looking forward to getting back to the other house and my grill, so I can grill up some chicken with my Symeon's sauces and make gyros. Or makeshift gyros, with only ingredients I want. Anyway, the point is, it was a glorious shopping experience. And it's close enough to the good house that I can walk, and still go to Safeway for everyday things. I am happy. I am also nice, because I watched a woman's cart while she went and fetched her car (my idea), because the carts won't go beyond a yellow line that's laid out around the store. It's to prevent loss of carts, but it's not all that great. Safeway does the same thing, but they have a better parking lot, and the carts just have to stay in the parking lot. She was going to offer me a ride (she asked if I had far to go), but it's such a glorious day today that I walked.
Anyway, off to see if the water for the pierogie is boiling!
