One interesting thing about this, ahem, pandemic is that everyone is learning to make cocktails. I am no exception.
Today I went to Price Rite and did some shopping to stock the bar. They had this brand of seltzer I had never heard of. It had the greatest brand name. Vintage!
Vintage Seltzer was only 25 cents a liter! So I bought I do not know how many. Luckily there was no limit on it as they are limiting all kinds of stuff, I think just to stress us out.
While I was selecting my seltzer ...
... people in masks were saying hello to me. I think it was because I looked so darn happy with this bargain I had found. One advantage to the Vintage Seltzer was it came in orange, which the Price Rite brand does not. However the Price Rite brand has grapefruit seltzer which I bought the other day because either the Vintage was not there or I did not notice it.
I also bought maraschino cherries. They had a beautiful brand name, Cherry Lane. They were something like $1.25 a jar.
The other day at Price Rite I bought lime juice. I know, I cannot stay away from Price Rite! I think it is because I am always being told to stay home and that makes me want to go out. You got to shop, you know?
Price Rite was almost empty today as you can see by this picture I took.
The emptiness must be because current norms and regulations have turned grocery shopping, which used to be fun, into something onerous and forbidding and to be dreaded. Who the heck wants to wear a mask, you know? I cannot breathe in mine. And it all looks so post-apocalyptic.
You have to keep your eyes on the prize! That cocktail at the end of the day. The Quarantini as it is called.
With the Vintage seltzer!
