Eggo:Optimistically Optimistic Food

I remember seeing the signs in Price Chopper grocery stores and at Stop & Shop, but paid little attention to them. Then, while making a grocery store run (which I truly dislike doing. I'd rather shovel shit than grocery shop.) my daughter asked to buy some Eggo waffles and there were none to be found.

Shortly thereafter, I read Jeff Barnard's post on Wormtowntaxi.com about the shortage and the subsequent search that ensued.

Well, yesterday while make that "dreadful" grocery store run, again, my daughter asked me to buy some Eggo waffles and I said to her, "I might have better luck rolling a 7 or 11 at craps than finding some Eggo waffles." To my surprise we ventured over to the frozen food section and what do you know? We found her favorite, and my favorite, Eggo waffles!

Next time, I'm going to be more optimistic and after unpacking the groceries, I'll pile the family into the car and head South on 395 and make my way to Mohegan Sun.

Now, if only we can get Governor Patrick and the other "slackers" to approve casinos in Massachusetts? (Remaining optimistic, but not holding my breath.)
