Friday, another day toiling at the SUS2.5 (Storage Unit Store 2.5) for Hick. Actually, Friday is only a half-day there for him. He packs a lunch, leaves at 6:00 a.m., and stays until about 1:00, when he leaves to gallivant about the county, ending up at his Friday afternoon bull-shooting session with his cronies.
When I passed through the kitchen around 7:00, I noticed that Hick had forgotten his banana. We each have a banana every morning. I buy a bunch of six or eight at a time. So there should have been an odd number of bananas in the bowl. Nope. There were six.
Don't you worry about Hick. He won't starve. He has a protein breakfast bar every morning. His lunch was ready to be placed in a recycled Country Mart bag. It consisted of an apple, a snack baggie of Animal Cookies, frozen mini sausage biscuits to be heated later, and a square piece of his Mississippi Mud auction cake. [He managed to eat half of it before I had to slice the remainder into nine pieces and freeze them.] He would have taken an individual bag of chips, but said he had some left at the SUS2.5. I also suspect he might have picked up a Casey's donut on the way. So he wasn't going to starve for lack of a banana.
Anyhoo... as he was leaving, Hick muttered something about hating to miss lunch at the Senior Center, because they were having catfish.
He had finally brought home an October menu a couple days ago. Why do I feel like Hick will be dining on:
Catfish
Baked Beans
Corn Nuggets
Dessert Bar
Maybe he can find a banana on that dessert bar. Wait! Why are you laughing?
You know perfectly well why we are all laughing! I have never had catfish, I don't think it's on menus here. Maybe it isn't as easy to get here. I should take a photo of the fish counter at the deli section of the supermarket and show it on the blog.
ReplyDeleteHeh, heh! The laugh was on me, because Hick DID NOT make it to the Senior Center for lunch. He had customers and couldn't get away. So it seems he was planning to go, but was too greedy for HIS money.
DeleteFried catfish is delicious in a cornmeal batter. We have a whole restaurant devoted to it over in Bill-Paying Town. Our deli sections don't have a fish counter. I guess it's not that profitable here with only the Mississippi River as our large body of water. The catfish in the restaurants are farm-raised. So there's no danger of contaminants in the bottom-feeding catfish. There was a ban on eating them from one of our local rivers a few years back.
Catfish is a staple down south. Hick knows how to arrange things.
ReplyDeleteYes, but darn those pesky customers wanting to give him money, and preventing him from getting to the catfish lunch on time.
