Spent 30 minutes tracking down mozzarella cheese

Tweet

I went out to the grocery store earlier this afternoon because I needed creme fraiche for tonight's dinner. Then when I went to start getting ready to make it, I realized that I was out of mozzarella cheese. I figured I'd be able to just pop down the road to the local CVS and get a bag of shredded mozz. I'd be out and back in like 5 minutes. Nope. They didn't have any cheese at all. So I went to Quick Check which was 3 minutes from there. Nope. All they had was cream cheese and string cheese. Then I figured I'd try the sketchy Rite Aid down the street. They only had American cheese slices. The lightbulb finally went off and I stopped at the little Mexican grocery that I had passed on my way to Rite Aid. I know that there is a Mexican cheese that they say you can substitute with mozzarella. I thought I'd use THAT as a sub for the mozz. As it turned out, they had a nice big bag of pre-shredded mozzarella. I was so happy to finally find it. It took me half an hour and I could have just saved myself the hassle and gone back to the regular grocery store in that amount of time. Oh well. Live and learn.
