I was in the grocery store this morning.....
Edited on Fri Nov-07-08 02:59 PM by Wetzelbill
I was going to grab a spring mix bag of various greens and lettuces for a salad, so I walked over to the section and there was a black man stocking up all of the vegetables and everything. So as I'm glancing over the different bags, searching for the one I wanted, I just had to do it, I had to ask, so I said: "Did you ever think you'd live to see a black man become president?"

He cheerfully replied: " I did! I did!"

Then I replied back: "I can barely believe it actually happened."

Then he repeated: "I did! I did! This is America, baby, anything can happen!"

It sure can. :)

2. I am surprisingly unsophisticated, so no, lol
baby lettuce, endive and radicchio is as fancy as I get. I crossed my mind for a few seconds though, lol.

5. Croutons and Blue Cheese?
Mais non! They are tres declasse maintenant!

Now to be a liberal you have to have ginger dressing over organic field greens, preferably with nori croutons and Fromager d'Affinois on the side.

; )
