I like wandering through the grocer and being inspired by...

what's on sale.

Particularly the "going bad" clearance sales, if it's something I can fix for dinner that night.

Yesterday my browsing was rewarded with 8oz of fresh mushrooms for $1 (down from $2), two Moroccan artisan olive loafs $1.50 each (down from $4.50), grated Romano cheese 5oz. $2.19 (down from $5) and a pound of fresh strawberries for $1.50 (down from $4).

I already had rice at home and a pan full of sausage grease from the morning, so I used some garlic, onion, spices, the mushrooms and Romano to turn that into a Risotto after lots of stirring and adding just enough liquid to keep the rice barely covered (minus the white wine that the Wife doesn't care for.)

Carved the olive loaf tops in a "v" trench, removed the top, added cooked chicken breast slices, and filled the trench with my sort-of Risotto, and baked them to crisp for a few minutes before serving.

The strawberries for dessert were cut and soaked in the tiniest bit of Balsamic Vinegar and sugar.

Sought and Unfound

I did it to hurt myself

Because you used to too

I crawled into your head

To feel what you felt inside there

I wanted to know

I had to see from your eyes

And I hurt me just to feel

To know what was real

I didn't tell anyone

Because then it might stop

And I wanted it to go

Until the end was in sight

But I never did find it

I never did see

Cuz deep inside you

Was nothin' for me to believe

So I started to flap

My own dirty wings

And I got leveled out

From a sharp trajectory

I could see where you hit

Babe you sure left your mark

You didn't want to stop

Didn't have it in you to quit

And I respect how you played it

When you were the train

And I was walking on the tracks

Found out you're alright now

Yeah, you made it out too

And I can't think of a thing

to say If I ever ran into you

So, I'll never look you up

We won't pass on the street

Don't have to look at the shadows

I'll let you keep it discreet.

You're the locomotive no longer

And I'm well off the tracks.

I never did find it

I never did see

Cuz deep inside you

Was nothin' for me to believe
