The above is the menu at the Blue Pig. Yesterday, RQS and I decided to go there instead of the local Carvel, and she loved the ice cream there. Today, we could have used some ice cream. But we decided to relax before going out to do a weekly shopping run for my weekly lunches....
Our original plan was to trek down to Wegman's so that I could buy some Asian lunches. However, with a traffic jam on I-287, it made sense to abandon this plan and go to Stew Leonard's for our shopping run. Once on this path, I knew that I'd need to spend more than I planned for the day, as a typical run to Stew's runs about $100+ these days. (And it's worth every cent!)
One thing about shopping at Stew's is that there are few goods on sale there that are not related to food. (Yes, they have sold linens, slipper socks, face masks and other things. But they are not known for selling the greater variety of things found at a typical supermarket.) About $115 later, I had enough food to get through the week, and some money left over to buy RQS and I a couple of ice cream cones.
All too soon, RQS had to leave. So I drove her to the station, filled up my car, and went home to take a nap. After waking up TCL called, and I served as her sounding board for the next 2 hours. Only then could I get some rest and fall back to sleep....
