Oh, my god. I love my dentist, Dr. Guo! She looks about 22, tall and thin, with hands like feathers. She banters with her hygienist and together they sound like too earnest girls in a dorm, who just happen to both be employed in the dental field. They were both very gentle - verging on delicate - while cleaning and checking my teeth today.
AND I HAVE NO CAVITIES, TAKE THAT. Thank you, Vitali electric toothbrush! Thank you, Glide floss. Thank you, purple fluoride/mouthwash combination swish. Dr. Guo even commented on how clean my teeth were while she was scraping. Pride!
So then I walked to Stop & Shop, afloat on my cloud of Dental Pride. Of course I found the reduced produce, hidden away next to the smelly fish counter. When I'm not looking for it, I find it. They had decent apples, citrus, and eggplant. None of which I wanted today. There was a surplus of very withered asparagus, which could have been salvaged with extensive trimming. At any rate, I made a mental note for Mondays.
No dog treats on sale, so I purchased the four-pack of chewies again. In addition to beautiful collards for .79 a pound, I also tried a similarly priced bunch of lovely turnip greens. Bought another quart of on-sale light ice cream - mint chocolate chip! Why do they tempt me like this? It is sooo tasty, espesh with the thin chocolate wafers. UNNH, so good. Then they had 2 lbs of strawberries on sale for $3.99. Saved two dollars. I would not have bothered, but the berries looked very red and plump and glistening. And they smelled fragrant and sweet. So I went for it. Also, some chocolate-flavored silken tofu to be eaten instead of pudding! Shredded-oat cereal, my new breakfast interest. Only spent about $20 on good supplies.
Came home to skim the top off the ice cream, eat the penultimate square of my lasagna, and prepare my food for the week. Sauteed chicken tenders in olive oil, rosemary, and garlic; it turned out very tasty. Collards were low-maintenance and tasty per usual. I cooked the turnip greens in minimal oil and grease left over from cooking the chicken, and they are SCRUMP. I still have plenty of tangerines, plus a yogurt. And I still have baked potatoes from last week. So I'm set! I sampled the strawberries and they were better than I expected from a supermarket strawberry. Good times. Very excited about the cheap, extremely tasty turnip greens. Such a good deal! Let's have a pic of hard-working turnip greens (from www.all-creatures.org), shall we?
So, I am pleased with Stop & Shop. And my teeth are excessively clean and shiny. Awesome day so far. Now it's going to rain on me while I'm traveling to pizza in Eastie. FINE! I'll bring extra pants, hah.
