One weird development in my life is a tendency to leave things at the grocery store checkout. At least four times since I've moved here, I've arrived at home only to realize that I had less food than I'd paid for. I don't have a satisfactory explanation for the phenomenon, except perhaps that I'm supremely relaxed while I'm shopping. Once I arrived home with eight cans of someone else's tuna and a bunch of bananas. I hope they didn't mind too much, and they enjoyed my eggs.
I've never told you about Snider's, the grocery store down the way. It's my new favorite - closer than Giant and Safeway and without the cheesy signage &c. It's got a good deli, a wide selection of European foods and things like La Yogurt Sabor Latino, which are delicious. Also, unlike aforementioned chains, Snider's sells alcohol. It's rare to find something so appealing and convenient in the absence of high price and/or smugness.
The reason I thought of all of this is I just got back from Snider's in the rain and I was afraid that I'd left a couple of the bottles of malt liquor that I'd picked up for Mac's party tonight. Thankfully I hadn't, but it was luck more than diligence that made it so. Also, I don't know if it's a quirk of Maryland law or just a regional preference, but the malt liquor at Snider's is all in 32 ounce bottles. Michelob and Budweiser are still in 40s, but Olde English and Schlitz is 32s. So if you happen to run into me and I'm eight ounces less drunk than you'd expect, there's the culprit.
