Today we rode the bus out to the post office on 74th and Troost. First we walked to 41st and troost from school and caught the bus there. Liesel picked up an info packet about her trip to Europe this summer. I bought Star Wars stamps to send letters and art to people, probably people in the class when I'm away. We walked from Troost to the bus stop on Wornall road. We saw a block of houses that were inspired by dutch architecture is seemed. We saw a roof with some chairs that we anted to sit on if it were summer.
Waldo's pizza is right there and we visited them to see how much a vegan slice would cost us, only to find that they were really busy and didn't have a 'by-the-slice' option on their menu. I wdon't think we were going to buy anything anyway, but only saught to ease our hunger by being near some vegan pizza. The Red Bridge bus took us up to 81st where the DAV thrift store is.
We bought Two warm coats for Liesel and some thermal pants for me. We walked from there to Second Chance thrift store on 77th. There, we bought two warm coats for me, a towel to replace one that Grommit chewed and fouled, Spicy Peanuts, 2 bags of Mustard and onion pretzels, and a bag of mixed nuts (four snack for a dollar, a total that is less than what any one of those originally cost), and a book about Biosphere 2. There was a shiny, vinyl hoody lined with bright yellow fleece that I was really tempted by but had top pass up. They didn't have any gloves, for they all go to a Mission.
We took the Red Bridge back to the Waldo Pizza stop and caught the Max bus which took us all the way to the 3rd and grand. This is the entire Max route.
The China Market oriental foods store is right across the street from the stop, somewhere Liesel had never been. We looked at everything in the store and like kids at the toy shop, granted ourselves permission to each get a treat. We got some sesame mochi, a mung bean based sweet and some spicy fried gluten in a can.
If you are Jeni, go there soon, the Mochi is fresh! We also bought some noodles to eat later and some sweet chili sauce to gift to the residents of the Harrison Fort/Fjord. The gift was especially for Brent, who invented the Fort Special, a sandwich consisting of whole wheat bread, crunchy peanut butter, fresh sliced cucumber, and of course, sweet chili sauce. The whole sweet kaboodle gets tossed into the oven for a light toasting.
We rode back to the plaza, eating some mochi with Grommit, and got off at the Wild Oats stop. I'm guessing that many people call this the Berbiglia stop. We returned to the INDA dungeon where I posted the song of the day.
After some working, we ate Spicy fried gluten and peanut sandwiches with spring mix greens on sprouted sesame bread, the lettuce and bread being results of yesterday's traveling about. That same trip brought vegan sloppy joe mix into our loving arms. We were going to share such goodness with Kari who has a kitchen to cook in, but she went to go see Chip Kidd speak at Unity Temple. Here are all of our acquisitions:
