i see you've got a selection of salami...


"hi"
"hi"
"i see over in the case that you have a sign that says 'assorted salami', so i assume you have genoa salami"
"pardon?"
"the salami, it says you have a selection of various salami. do you have genoa?"
"um. i'm not sure what you mean"
"i'd like to get some salami"
"ok."
"you don't know what i'm talking about do you?"
"no"
"ok. i'll show you in the case."

such is getting lunch on granville island sometimes....bless her heart, why would she know what types of meats she sells if she's working in a specialty meat shop? i mean really. they have, at this one place, approx. ten different types of salami, all delicious i'm sure...just don't test them on them. i did end-up with a genoa style salami that was quite tasty.
today i got down here rather early as i had to drop-off the element for service - which is ending-up being more than just the regular service - i get new brakes as well....and so cheap...well, i guess i do have to stop. nice too that it's so close to granville island and i can just walk and get it at the end of my pickle day - not like previously when i was using pacific honda over on the north shore. drag.
megan came down to the island today for lunch with her work pal lindsay and we had a little lunch together. i have been making my own lunch, kinda, but today ventured out and had some of the indian food they offer up in the market...i had another confusing conversation with the food dude there as well,
"hi, i'll have the butter chicken combo"
"ok."
"what do i get with the butter chicken"
"yes"
"which one of the dishes do i add to the butter chicken for the combo"
"yes"
"um...so i can pick any of them" i say pointing to the food in the heat trays...
"yes"
"ok"
and so it goes at the market...it was nice to see megan and meet lindsay who i have heard mentioned many times before, and who, i think, has been to my house as she's part of the erin b. book club that shauna hosted one night at our place. small world. yup.
devon just came by as well, the gang's all here today, and we had a nice chit chat that we've been trying to have for a while now...we talked about her new noodle magnets and us getting together and making some cool display stands for so she can sell them earier etc...all very exciting...i like making shit so it'll be good.
ok...not much action here today in the way of sales...lots of looking...asking of questions...and such...maybe later on...

ok. have fun.
