Impromptu Feast
It was a dark and stormy afternoon. The sky lobbed a torrent of fat rain droplets ground-ward. I knew it was bad idea to go shopping at the Stanford Shopping Center without an umbrella. Did we bring an umbrella? ... No. *sigh*
Drenched and bedraggled and most importantly hungry, we lumbered to the very fortuitously located Andronico's. (How often do you find a frou-frou gourmet grocery chain in an ultra-chic shopping centre?)
The warmth and coziness were a definite welcome change to the outside cold and rain. The food selection wasn't bad either. They had over 20 different kinds of deli meat?!
Hubby picked a salami and prosciutto with provolone sandwich with minced pepperoncini in addition to the usual add-ins. I got us a cup of the Italian wedding soup which seemed to be composed of mini-meatballs, some sort of greens (collard?), onions, orzo, and an unknown medley of herbs. And most importantly, an "Adult" brownie. Apparently the San Francisco Chronicle rated it as the best store-bought brownies.
And THAT was our grocery trip turned impromptu feast!
