This afternoon I walked down to Asda to get some milk, as I had run out, and on the way realised I was looking forward to rummaging in the 'Surprise Shelf' - where they put the reduced stuff. It's not worth it for the reductions, which are pathetic, but it's a bran tub sort of place, where you never know what you will find. It also saves a tremendous amount of time wandering about the store trying to find something to eat. But by far the best reason to head there is that you see stuff you never even knew existed, so you get to try new things. And you can work out some interesting combinations.
It reminds me of what Dad said to me once, when he was alive (he left us in 1996). He said he looked forward to me coming over, as he never had to buy anything in. He knew I would look in the cupboards and fridge, and concoct something delicious.
He loved the inventiveness of it. Mum's cooking was a bit 'samey' and he liked a bit of spice in his life. Good old Dad. I don’t think of you often - or often enough. Hope you’re well and happy where you are.
