In a fit of nearly terminal hubris, I went out to Fiesta today. Today is recycle pickup, which famously does not get picked up, plus snow berms from cars (on my side of the street: opposite side is from snow plows) plus people who just never got around to shovelling their sidewalks. So it was A Trip. I thought that the -12 temps might have kept the snow frozen enough to make pushing easier but TO snow is unimpressed by -12 and insisted on being slidy churned up. Came home soaked in sweat and stiff as if I'd been cross-country skiing, with arms aching from pushing the walker through the churned up snow and having to lift it bodily over the ridges. This will learn me, of course.
But I'd ordered a grocery delivery for tomorrow and wanted to see what I could get myself of those things that Loblaws does badly, like fingerling potatoes, and in case of substitutions, because Loblaws tends to run out of stuff on a regular basis. It had to be Loblaws because I need ibuprofen, and because a Sobey's truck won't fit on my street. Especially if, as I suspect, the recycle doesn't get picked up until tomorrow. Yes, they managed it after last February's dump, but we had more snow Sunday than last February.
My sadness is that I want flageolet beans, that food from my childhood. There are very few legumes I can eat safely- lima beans in small quantities, edamame at will, and flageolets. But nobody has them, no one at all, except amazon. And the only thing I will buy from amazon is books unavailable anywhere else.
