My town, my local supermarket and hot wings

[LizStreithorst]

My supermarket gives stuff away that doesn't sell.  Mostly it's stuff that's junk, but not always.  Once the manager told my favorite cashier to give me all the reject imported cigars I smoke for free!  They cost 5 bucks each...$40. of  reject cigars.  Only 3 of the 8 didn't smoke right, and he told Tequila (I swear to God, that's her name) to give them to ME for free!!!! 

Last week I was checking out with my second favorite cashier and there was free stuff in a buggy at the end of the check out.  It's always a bunch of stuff I would never eat,  but this time there were some bottles Emeril's wing sauce.  (I think Emeril is a big shot chef on Food Network)  I took one and thanked them.  Made my hot wings today.  OMG, they were to die for!!!  All I did differently from what it said on the label is that I reduced the sauce after the wings were done, kept the wings warm and pour the reduction over them.

Having my little business in "Tiny Town" is much more of a blessing than a curse.  I've become more kind here than I ever have been.  The people here bring out the best in me.  I've become a sucker for the religious folks who come to my shop.   I always buy their silly raffle tickets.  I'm particularly fond of the black man that sells bags of warm boiled peanuts.

I couldn't agree more Liz....  small town life is wonderful.

And, yes, no doubt to others, our ways seem quaint, but, today of all days, it is bought home: It is no bad thing to celebrate the simple life. ~~ Bilbo Baggins

I was unsure I could get my feelings across in words.  You gentlemen got it, so I guess I succeeded. Dennis, thanks for the quote from one of the wisest men who never lived.  Mug, you would be happy in Tiny Town if there were fish swaps within reasonable driving distance.
