I went to Wellspring a couple of days ago and they had a big container of chopped liver in the deli case. They normally don't carry it, but I guess they made it special for the high holy days. I love chopped liver so I got a container. It was gross! Full of big chunks of hard boiled egg, and it hardly even tasted like liver. I never had chopped liver with hard boiled egg in it. I think they were trying to stretch the recipe.
It was so bad that I took it back the next day and asked for a refund. I felt like kind of a jerk, but I honestly felt ripped off. They even had the nerve to call it "Cindy's Famous Chopped Liver"! Famous for what, being disgusting? The woman at the service desk was really nice about it. She gave me a store credit and said she'd tell the people in prepared foods about it. Georg said that it probably wasn't even made here, but at some regional place. After he said that, I remembered my friend Peggy complaining that Whole Foods made really bad chopped liver. So today's tip is: no matter where you live, avoid the chopped liver from Whole Foods.
After returning the offending chopped liver I went by Southern Season (who make really good chopped liver) but they were out. Boo hoo! On the other hand I got a look at their new location. It's really, really big. It used to be a department store (a Belk's I think) on the end of University Mall. I didn't have time to walk around the whole store, but I did notice that the china and cookware section is hugely expanded. I hope the food sections are similarly increased!
Last night we tried to see Lost in Translation, but got there a few minutes late. We weren't sure if we were just going to miss the trailers, or if the movie would have already started. So we walked around Southpoint Mall instead. Stopped by the Apple store to drool over the G5s. Which I have to say, I'm not crazy about the new case design. It's so flat. But maybe works better for clusters or something. Also we bought an iPod splitter so we can both listen to music on the plane when we go on vacation at the end of the month.
After the Apple store I indulged in one of my favorite shopping tactics: trying on clothes in expensive stores to find out my size, so I can go online and buy clearance. Because I'm not stupid enough to pay full price for J. Crew or the Gap, but they sometimes have good sales on their websites.
