(no subject)

is there something going on that I don't know about? Trundled off to Sainsburys yesterday at about 3 p.m., and it looked as though the Christmas Eve hordes had been in. No cream, no mushrooms, no fresh herbs of any kind, and perlmonger mnanaged to grab the last bag of organic spuds. The shelves were barren; I can only surmise that there was an unseasonal plague of locusts in Ashton Gate, Bristol.

so, having breakfasted magnificently on toast with Very Expensive Morello Cherry Preserve, I must away to a different supermarket, hopefully one with some bloody stock. Decisions, decisions - Tesco at Nailsea (small and not very good), Waitrose at Portishead (nice, but subject to erratic stock levels on Sundays), or Asda at Bedminster [shudder].

but I must go - we are almost out of white wine, and my veggie daughter is coming to stay, so the normal pots full of precooked stuff in the freezer will not do.

I must procrastinate no longer - farewell!

It was the same in Tescos in dear old Melton Mowbray - lots of pikey families filling trollies with enough food and lager to feed and army.
I was as puzzled as you as were the staff who were on the last legs

Oh, wait, weren't there 'important' football and rugby matches yesterday, or something?

Oh that would have been it

ah - this will have passed me by entirely, as I am not remotely interested in Sport.

I shall now have to ponder what all these couch potatoes have made with cream, coriander, mushrooms, parsley and pancetta ...

Something delicious to go with chicken, I hope. Actually, I really like the idea of gourmet couch potatoes.
