Happy birthday, America
I love the Fourth of July, because it is the birthday of this great country of ours. But one of the things I do *not* like about it is that it is a holiday, and holiday means lots of stuff is closed.
To wit, I was raving to Christy about how this new Mexican restaurant by my house had probably the best quesadilla I ever had, so I decided to take her there, as she also loves a good quesadilla. And guess what? It was closed, on account of the holiday! I then decided to take her to Boston Blackie's instead, and they were open. Boo yeah.
So later, I had a hankering for some brownies. No place around here has a real to-die-for brownie, but I have always admired the brownies from the bakery at Dominick's. I hopped on my bicycle and pedaled on over. Guess what? The 24 hour, always-open Dominick's was closed! I wasn't going to give up, so I re-hopped onto my bicycle and pedaled over to the Lincoln Park Supermarket, where I bought some ready-to-bake cookie dough and some toothpaste, on account of me being nearly out of toothpaste. Some cookies are currently baking away in my oven. Hell yeah.
