Yas Bakery and Supermarket

It’s been over a year since we visited Yas Bakery and Grocery store in Vienna. We would routinely go there for my husband’s favorite relish and tart cherry jelly. But we were also running out of bread so it was another reason to make a trip. So it was with a great deal of joy that we actually went in to a store to buy something. We haven’t done that very much either since we usually do pick up groceries and restaurant food. So we picked up his favorite torshi, jelly, cookies, and very long bread. The storekeepers remembered us and one of them said she would be getting a vaccine the next day. How things have changed in a year. There is plexiglass everywhere and social distancing signs abound. It is a small place so it gets a bit hard to navigate and stay away from the next person. Unfortunately we think my husband lost his winter hat in the parking lot, but we were unable to locate it a few days later. Anyway, we realized the long flat bread there is absolutely delicious and will add that to the usual items we go there for. So another activity we had before we did again. It still felt weird. 

Hot Dogs and Out of Date Condiments

We haven’t had hot dogs for awhile so we got some a while back. My dad loved hot dogs, and I do too. My husband? Not so much. It was always an easy way for my dad to make a quick lunch and he lived to be 95, so they didn’t do him much harm. But hot dogs alone aren’t so great. You need to embellish them with condiments. So when I went to retrieve the ketchup, mustard and relish - everything was long past the “best if consumed by” date. The only thing that wasn’t outdated was the jar of handmade concoction of onions and pepper that our grandson gave us for Christmas. He is quite the cook at 16 years old. Regardless of the dates we used the stuff anyway. My husband never has ketshup, mustard or relish, but he loves the onions and peppers. That was one Christmas gift that has lasted a while now. And it makes every sandwich and hot dog so much tastier.
