The second beer stop was at Anthony & Son Italian Deli on Grand Street at Frost. This is a deli that I typically go to for good pasta (to make at home), and occasionally for an Italian sandwich. When I was there a week ago there was a big stack of Oskar Blues Old Chub, the 8% abv Scottish Ale. Old Chub has a nice sweet caramel body with a little hop bitterness, hints of smokey malt, and a bit reminiscent of whiskey. Typically a six pack of Old Chub runs in stores anywhere from $9-$12, but for some reason there is a big stack of it as soon as you walk in to Anthony & Son’s that has a sign on it: “Special: $5 a Six Pack.”I haven't tried it yet.
At C-town, I got a dozen jumbo eggs for $1.79. That beats Jesus by 20 cents. Tuna was 3 cans for $2. I haven't seen it under $1/can in forever. Luigi Vitelli whole tomatoes in a jar were $1.69 or so. I'd expect to pay $2 for that.
I was going to make penne bolognese, but Lewis didn't want that so I went to different stores to get ingredients for eggplant parmesan. I should have started to make that already but I read about health care instead.
