I was at the Shop-Rite fish counter this morning and noticed the fishmonger had put the porgy and bass right next to each other. All day I’ve been humming “Bass, you is my dinner now.” ---

Awesome! 😃 (But I figured this would be a thread about people helping others in the grocery store. My daughter pointed out the other day that I must look fairly knowledgeable, because people are forever stopping my in the aisles to ask advice, like what kind of cooking oil for fried chicken or which herbs for cornbread dressing or the difference between baking powder and baking soda. Not too surprising, though, since we live in a college town and lots of students don’t know much about cooking.) ---
