Organic Grapefruit/Lemon Juice.....oh, and Vodka

Since I quit dopin' and boozin' (I was really a bigger doper, I just used booze to "soup up"the benzos), I've been exploring tasty, strange and exotic non-alcholic juices, waters and other beverages. I've discovered an Italian soda that Central Market makes that comes in a variety of flavors.

I was in the store a couple of weeks back stocking up on my grapefruit/lemon Italian soda as well as apple-lemon-ginger juice, vanilla flavored soy protein powder, good spices.......oh, and I also always grab a handful of roasted, salted macadamia nuts which are $14.95 a pound but gratis if you just grab a few and are "sampling". I'd made my circuitous route through the store and was in line to check out. I'd set all my goods on the conveyor belt and as the cashier was ringing me up, a fellow behind me commented on my juice.

"That's really wonderful stuff, huh?" "Yeah, I'm downright addicted to the stuff....I love it" I said, studying the man's puffy profile and swollen, baggy eyes. "It's a little pricy though" he said. "Yep" I replied, "but since I quit drinking booze, it's a tasty luxury I can afford."

"You should try it with vodka. It's really good" he said in is seemingly unaware state.

Hello? What?

People are total morons. Fancy saying that!!!! I have to say that the vanilla soy protein powder does not sound enticing- more like you need to add some Hershy's Choc Syrup to make it yummy.
