Oh yes, that familiar line from Wizard of OZ, 'Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore'. It isn't there that I am not at, but last night I knew I wasn't at home.
It takes so long to get anywhere here in the city. Glauce wanted me to go to 'Emart', which is like Walmart. I needed to get a few more things for a recipe anyways, now that I have spaghetti squash. We left around 5pm and did not get home until after 10pm. We just had to wait so long for buses and trains on the subway. We aren't even that far from it. You just can't do anything without it taking a very long time.
And plus, I could NOT find sour cream. The things that are so easily found at home, well are either hard to find here or just don't exist. I also had to substitute some ingredients with a close second.....and the recipe only calls for 6 of them.
Since Glauce was trying on clothes, I decided to try on some too. I know before coming I was warned that I may feel tall and big here. Well, I am happy to say that I fit in the smaller size pants they carry and the smallest shirts were too big for me. I feel about average though. As many people as there are taller and bigger than me, there are also that many shorter and skinnier. It is nice to feel average, it helps me to not stand out as much. Yeah right, with my blonde hair.
As I said, I've a feeling I'm not in......
