Total Impulse Buy

Last night I took my car out for a drive to see how it was doing after the accident. It hasn't healed yet...I'm going to need to bring it to the car hospital to have the wheels re-aligned.

I stopped at the supermarket and picked up a few things for lunch. I was very upset because they didn't have the jar of hot peppers I was looking for. I figured I could buy all the things I like to have on a sub at the supermarket and make them myself, thus saving money. Well Stop&Shop did not have the little tiny chopped up pepper things. I was able to buy some pickles and horseradish sauce, which I'm excited about.

So then I drove home and found parking (thank goodness). Then I realized I wanted something sweet or chocolaty and hadn't bought anything like that at the supermarket. I did, however, remember to buy paper towels, which I badly needed because my apartment was/is a mess! OK, so I decided to drop my groceries off and then go to 7-11 to buy a chocolate something...

So I go into 7-11 and did a loop. In the past, I have been known to maybe buy a Stouffer's French Bread Pizza from 7-11, however, last night, I saw something new...they now carry Ellio's Pizza! And because I hadn't had dinner and because Ellio's reminds me of my childhood days being babysat by Amy Delesky, I bought a box of Ellio's pizza.

Once, while Amy was babysitting, she actually burned the Ellio's pizza. She did not put tin foil down on the oven rack (which I do, however, Ellio's seems to stick to the tin foil so you have to peel it off of the bottom before you eat it) so the cheese stuck and burnt on to the rack. Amy, not knowing what to do, stuck the oven rack out on our deck.

A couple of nights later we all heard noises on the deck. My father turned on the outside light and discovered that a possum was licking the cheese off of the oven rack! When the light came on, he ran away. Unfortunately for the possum we would later discover him floating face down in our swimming pool...but thats another story.

The moral of the story is:
Ellio's pizza is obviously delicious, but don't try licking the cheese off of the oven rack or you'll end up drowning like the possum!
